Jingle Punks and Self-Promotion

Liz — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:03:15 +0000

See, the new music biz understands the benefit of creative marketing …

The Jingle Punk All Stars, made up of the crew over at Jingle Punks, who service major networks with relevant music content, show how small music start-ups should self-promote and generally create a broader awareness of their own brand. Simply put, get off your ass and do it yourself.

Check out this crowd interaction. Ain’t no way to repeat this kind of experience, which I got to see solo in the grass on the far left facing the stage. It was amazing to hear Mike Patton give the lyrics to the crowd.

“Music is what feelings sound like.” Thank Andrew WK for that party tip.

If you haven’t scoped out The Winter of Mixed Drinks yet, you probably should.

Take a look at that — the artist is more the focus of this video than the product.

That’s what I’m talking about! Mad props to Amy Regan and Hertz for putting this together. After all, without the art we’d be nowhere…

Check our friend Amy out @ Rockwood Music Hall March 22, 8 PM!

Gorillaz – “Stylo” Video

Check out the new Gorillaz video for their single, “Stylo.” The animated characters appear alongside the one and only Bruce Willis to create a pretty bad ass sequence akin to Willis’ Hollywood action scene days.

It’s all about survival.

The Avett Brothers capture life on the road and highlight the importance of the musician/fan relationship through the video for their single “I And Love And You” on their album of the same name.

Check out the fans at the end. Couldn’t have anyone else round out the video like that. No doubt.

Damien Rice – “Woman Like A Man”

I’m sick of talking about the changing digital/recorded music landscape. Seriously. I’d rather enjoy the music – listening to it, watching it, absorbing it.

Great live version of Damien Rice‘s “Woman Like A Man.” Thanks for the suggestion, Anna Waddelove!
