Event Recap

SXSW

South by Southwest has grown to be a unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. Fostering creative and professional growth SXSW is the premier destination for discovery of all that is awesome.

With over 60K registrants, and countless unregistered attendees seeking out unofficial SXSW shows across all of Austin - the week long music portion of the event is so jam packed with new music there's no way to possibly make a dent in the show schedule. Monster was there to support new music, film awesome new video content with the artists we work with and show Austin just how much our DNA headphones rock. Enjoy. We did.



Dean Guitars

Monster and Dean Guitars

Monster was proud to partner with our friends at Dean Guitar this year. Austin is, after all, Guitar City, and there was an awesome response to the Dean Guitars that were part of our giveaways at SXSW. All over Austin, we saw great artists playing Dean Guitars powered and connected by Monster products and you could hear the difference. click for photos




Namm 2013
Monster had the best NAMM Show ever this year, where over 90,000 music industry manufacturers, journalists, retailers and artists from all over the world converge for the biggest annual music tradeshow (ahem, party) in the known universe. Our booth hosted stars like Stevie Wonder, Kerry King, Zakk Wylde, Scott Ian, Slipknot, Lita Ford and Sheila E, with booth performances by rising stars Madi Diaz, Butterscotch, The City and Ruby Freidman. Monster showcased it's newly designed instrument cables, our range of headphone and speaker products and if we don't say so ourselves -- had the busiest, coolest booth in our entire hall! Look through the photos and see for yourself.

Fader Fest is Thud Rumble's annual celebration of music, technology and inspiration that brings together a wide variety of skilled entertainers that captivate the love of true DJ culture. Originating in the culturally rich and diverse San Francisco, Fader Fest’s performers have a unique presentation with over-the-top mastery of their own instrument whether it's a set of turntables and a mixer, midi controllers or traditional instruments that are presented in non-traditional ways.

This year, held in view of The Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA, Thud Rumble partnered with Hella Flush and hosted a full day of eye candy for lovers of suped up rides and a diverse line-up of DJs, including Monster DJ Qbert. We’re exited to continue working with Q, Yogafrog and Thud Rumble on lots of cool upcoming events, products and more!

Namm 2012

Every January, 90,000 music industry manufacturers, journalists, retailers and artists from all over the world converge on Anaheim, California for the biggest annual music party in the known universe.

At our booth you can chat with stars like George Benson, Javier Colon and Lee Ritenour. And at night you can attend star-studded concerts with acts like Earth, Wind and Fire and Mary J. Blige.

It’s an exclusive event – not open to the public – so you need to be a music pro to attend. But once inside the walls you’ll experience what it’s truly like to be part of this seriously exciting world. And you’ll see Monster products EVERYWHERE because this is the one place all these exhibitors and musicians and DJs absolutely need to sound their best.


SXSW

There is no bigger buzz in the music industry than the one around Austin’s South by Southwest. Yet when you're standing out on Sixth Street at 2AM on a balmy March night, rocking with the hottest music acts in the country, SXSW seems impossibly, wonderfully personal.

When you're at South By you can catch act after act without hearing one dud. That's why Monster goes South every season and gets the word out. Anyone who is as committed to their sound as an SXSW performer appreciates the "Whatever It Takes" attitude of Monster:

You put everything into your music – and we'll help you get it out there.
