We are throwing our biggest party to date! Hype Hotel, presented by Taco Bell’s Feed The Beat, is five straight days of music, drinks, and Taco Bell tacos, March 13-17 in Austin, TX.

This is the closest we’ve come to recreating the Hype Machine experience in real life, and we hope you enjoy your stay with us.

RSVP is now open.

Wanted: Volunteers in Austin February 14, 2012

Our multi-day blog party is shaping up well and we need your help.

We are looking for volunteer staff to help with production, registration, barbacking, and helping guests during March 13 – 17.

You get all-access to the event, music, connections to bands, startups and the music industry (if that’s your thing).

You must be 21+, love music, and be available on those days.

Email austin@hypem.com, send us a link to your Facebook and Twitter, and tell us your favorite band of 2012.
