Spune

Spune was officially established in 1997 while promoting concerts on college campuses in Abilene, TX. In May of 2000, Spune relocated to Arlington, TX and became heavily involved in the Dallas/Ft. Worth music scene booking a handful of bands and working several national tours. Spring of 2002, and most of 2003, found Spune increasing its booking services and introducing street promotion and interactive marketing campaigns to its roster. In May of 2003, Spune made Burleson, TX, just minutes outside Fort Worth, its home and is where it resides to this day.

December 2004, Spune added a record label branch to the company, released its first CD and held the 1st Annual A Spune Christmas. 2005 was a busy year as Spune introduced Wall Of Sound Festival and begin exclusively booking The Cavern Club in Dallas and Hailey's Club in Denton. In 2006, Spune introduced a much larger version of Wall Of Sound Festival and began booking a weekly concert series at Central Market in Fort Worth. 2007 was an exciting year! Spune booked the heritage, city- festival, Mayfest in Fort Worth, added The Mohawk in Austin to the booking mix and begin booking events at The Fort Worth Modern Art Museum.

There was another upgrade to Wall Of Sound Festival and a 4th label release. We also found time to order some new Spune buttons and stickers. 2008 found Spune taking over booking operations for a brand new club in Fort Worth called Lola's Saloon, booking Mayfest and the Central Market series again, releasing another record, as well as contributing to an indie film festival in Abilene, Texas
