Defend the Bar Band- Chance to win a record deal!

Dleo · 08-20-2007, 07:30 PM

Hey all, just figured I would let you guys know what I have been up too lately. We have come up with a really cool idea, its called "Defend the Bar Band" where it will be an Internet based competition with real time voting for your favorite Bar Band. The winner will receive a record deal from Road Runner Records. If you or someone you know is in a band and looking to get the name out, this might be the perfect opportunity for you.

Heres the official e-mail blast and bulletin that has been posted on myspace and craigslist:

Few experiences are more authentic than seeing a bar band that plays with burning passion. A few committed souls playing their hearts out on a small stage just a few feet away. Leaving nothing between you and the music.
Raise your glass and join Boru Vodka as we defend these unsung heroes of the night.

If you are one of those dedicated band members, this is your chance to play for the world. Sign up your band today and get a shot at winning $10,000 worth of equipment from Musician’s Friend, and the truly big ticket – a digital record release deal with Roadrunner Records.

And let’s not forget the fans. Defend the Bar Band lets you discover new music and vote for your favorite bar band. By voting, you’ll be eligible to receive free daily music downloads, and you could win a $5,000 grand prize. Check back September 24 to listen and vote.

The bar band. Pure, passionate and committed. Definitely worth defending.

BTW, before anyone asks, I have NO pull what so ever in picking a winner, so don't ask me to pick you

The finalist will be chosen through an Internet based voting system, a winner will be chosen from the semi-finalist by a voting panel from Road Runner Records.
