Check out this Battle of the Bands contest on Briggs & Stratton’s MySpace page! http://www.myspace.com/briggsbattleofthebands I work in their Marketing department in Milwaukee, WI, and am trying to spread the word. We’re a local engine manufacturer and host a stage at Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival (http://www.summerfest.com/flash/#). We’ve had some pretty big acts show up in the past like Gnarls Barkley and O.A.R., but are hoping this Battle of the Bands contest will take the cake. We think it’s a pretty sweet idea, but take a look for yourself and let me know what you think. All you or your friend’s band has to do is upload a song for users to vote on. If they win, we’ll pay their way to come party with us in Milwaukee…and trust me, that’s one thing we know how to do here. We’ll fly the winning band out to Summerfest, put them in a hotel, and let them play their set on our stage. Thanks! Hi!

I'm just getting into the business and plan on releasing my debut CD this fall, so this advice is timely. A lot of it seems like no-brainers but it's amazing how many musician's aren't doing these things. This article has been bookmarked and I'll be sure to reference it from time to time as a reminder of what I should be doing! Great article Amanda!
