Is that you? This prize is ideal for a band looking to get a boost in every direction. Iguana Studios (Billy Talent, Three Days Grace, Nelly Furtado, Cancer Bats, Bedouin Soundclash) will record 1 song; Indie Guitars is going to throw in an artist sponsorship package - artist pricing + marketing; Rock Parlor Clothing - artist merch deal; Indie Solo will do an artist feature on their website; Darko Photo - a rock star himself in the world of rock n roll photography, he shot them all: Alice in Chains, AC/DC, Van Halen....everybody! And now possibly YOUR BAND!; Eye Motion Media - a top notch video company is going to shoot a video worth up to $5000 of the finished song; Indie Week - will give the band a confirmed showcase at Indie Week 2011. So basically you get a song and the means to promote it. What do you have to do? The sponsors are throwing a party at the Rivoli on Sat Oct 16 starting at midnight (don't worry, the bar is serving until 4am!). Come down and meet them - pitch your band to them - impress them - you want them to pick your band to work with. The sponsors will then pick the top five acts that makes sense to them. Then a month after Indie Week those bands will be contacted. We might have the bands play a set to see them live! An online voting page will be up for one month - the the band with the highest amount of votes will win. Easy - if you're good enough!
