Digital Downloads & Distribution Demystified
Want to create custom cards for your band's next show so that fans can get your album digitally? After all, digital album sales are on the rise while physical ones decline, so it might be worth thinking about! Red Vinyl Media is putting on a show on March 12th featuring student artists, and tracks from the students will be available for download - we are using a company called Dropcards (http://www.dropcards.com/home/) and they are fantastic. Many options for card design, including help from designers on the team, and excellent customer service - they are worth your time if you want to create digital download cards for your fans. Or perhaps you'd like to put your music on things such as iTunes, and get paid for the tracks - before and after Red Vinyl's show, if you don't attend and get a free download card for the album, the album will be available for sale on iTunes, via a company called Catapult. (http://www.catapultdistribution.com/) This company will post your album on sites like iTunes for $25 per album, and charges no subscription fees - they take 9% of the royalties for your album and track sales, so you never have to worry about remembering to pay them - they're paying you! Check out these companies and the artists at the show on March 12th! Go to www.facebook.com/redvinylmedia for all the details!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie [Official Mu...
It is finally here
All New Red Hot Chili Peppers album
Now Josh Klingoffer is no John Frusciante, but the two have collaborated on other projects before for example Ataxia. The two work very well with each other, and have a very similar
style. I have the upmost confidence in Josh becoming the Red Hot Chili Peppers newest addition. I know a lot of fans are going to be upset about Josh being in the band, but this was really John's choice. He wanted to be able to work on more on his solo material. I will gladly say that if the Chili Peppers had to replace John I am thankful that they had replaced John with Josh. Everyone needs to keep in consideration that John had once replaced the Chili's original guitarist Hillel Slovak. Life goes on. Here's their firs new single.
Enjoy!

Dead Larry "She Goes" Plunder Fest 2011
Hey last weekend was the most perfect Plunder Fest!
Dead Larry is a band that has been rocking it for a while now in the Minnesota Music Fest Scene.
My friend Zachary and I had the pleasure of meeting the bass player while we were adventuring through the woods/camp ground on a random path at night looking for the fire show. Dead Larry had just finished their set a very awesome performance.
For those who do not know Plunder Fest it is a Pirate themed music festival, so everyone busted out their pirate gear for the weekend.
My friends The Stalking Butlers played Friday night their set went well. I know I haven't posted my Bella videos yet, but I do plan on putting their performance up as well.
I've been on a hiatus going to festivals, attending TSB shows, and enjoying any music/random events I stumble upon (Pride Parade, Back to the 50's, Free Folk music in Lauring Park, and the occasional Dub Step show) Shows are getting so expensive lately, or sell out real quick. It's hard to catch a real good musicians now days. That is why music festivals are so great. It's a good chance to discover new musicians and bands. At Plunder I found the best opportunities to meet musicians in bands that play on the main stage and at drum circles.
Over the 4th I went to High Plains to see Trampled by Turtles a band I had been dieing to see for a very long time and they did not disappoint

Beats Antique. . Amazeing!
Just got back from a most excellent Bella!
Beats Antique. One of the best performances there!
Hopefully soon I will be able to post my own footage that I had recorded myself at their show.
The band had a beautiful performance at the festival, great vibes, great audience reaction, and they always do very well when it comes to performing live. It was very similar to this video.
I would recommend this band to anyone!
Beats Antique will be at Electric Forest up in Michigan around 4th of July weekend.
Otherwise I would highly recommend anyone to catch this band the next chance they come around Minnesota.
Other performances that also blew my mind
Bucket Head
Lunar Funk Theory
EOTO
