I work with the L Magazine and they are currently gearing up to put on another Northside Festival here in NYC at the end of the month. This year they have some pretty great bands, but they are also sweetening the pot by giving out a bunch of free passes, and a brand new iPad to a lucky winner. It’s a pretty cool prize and I was thinking that maybe some of the New York Rockmarket readers might be into checking out the competition and the festival. It would be great if you can give it a shout on the blog, it’s a cool festival for NY and we are really excited about getting the word out about it this year.

You can check out all the info on the festival and the giveaways at this link (http://posting.thelmagazine.com/newyork/NorthsideContest/Page).

All the best,

Maybe you should put someone on your staff who has the job of thinking of alternative band names. Just a couple of names that I think might convince you to do such a thing.

Oil and Water
The Marshall Plan
Strangers at the Panama Canal

Just think about it, that’s all I am saying.

Just discovered your blog recently and find myself coming back often. Appreciate your humble approach and great taste…

Kindly,
Laura P

I found your blog on Twitter (I’m helping out a couple of bands…Volunteers and doublethink…who both have shows coming up). I wanted to invite you to be our guest to either of these shows…

doublethink The Annex, this Sunday Feb 15 7PM
Volunteers Mercury Lounge Tues 24 10:30PM

I also DJ at WBMBradio.com, so if you ever have a band that you think I should spin, please feel free to let me know about them!
