LAMC To NYC: Are You Hip Enough?

Ready to rock out (but oh-so-hipsterly) at this year's LAMC? The 9th Annual Latin Alternative Music Conference returns to the Big Apple on July 12th. As in past years, LAMC shows off the whos-who in Latin alternative, indie and rock music with panels and exhibitions, concerts and fiestas (of course -- what Latino doesn't know that adding a party to the mix makes the music even more enjoyable?).

This year LAMC and MTV Tr3s are giving you access to see artistas diversos perform at Central Park's Summer Stage. You'll be able to watch some of your favorite artists en vivo, including our chica del momento Julieta Venegas, the Mexican alternative rock band Plastilina Mosh and Chile's most promising export DJ Bitman. Based on what went down last year, this is not a weekend to miss. If you recall, LAMC 2007 went so well that we convinced VJ Carlos to ditch his preppy pop threads for a day and walk in the shoes (Converse of course) of card-carrying LAMC hipster.

Catch performer photos and more details after the jump...
