East End Fourth Fridays! is a unique art- and culture-driven cooperative event developed by DiverseArts to showcase the very specific cultural attributes and historical identity of Austin’s East End – the Soul in the heart of the City. This monthly event brings a relaxed, open-air art and cultural market experience to the newly revitalized East End.
DiverseArts is funded in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division and by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that .....a great nation deserves great art.

The Death Aquatics are a U18 band from Austin, Texas formed at McCallum High School in 2012. Current members include Nathan Kareithi, Hayden Steckel, Tafari Robertson, and Trey St. Romain. They draw inspiration from activities such as hanging with friends, going to other shows, and jamming to crazy banger tracks all the time. Although they have not yet recorded anything sufficiently, they are currently in the process of recording their first EP at Mac recording studios to be released at some point this fall. If you'd like to book them, get updates on the EP and other aquatic news, or just hang out some time, you can email them at thedeathaquatics@aol.com or talk to one of the members after the show about getting on the mailing list.
