I have decided that, instead of promoting one band on the site monthly - which has proven not to be so easy (however, it might be an option in future) - promote two bands on Twitter...as scheduled tweets, every Tuesday and Saturday. I will be going through this subforum looking for interesting stuff to promote, but it's much, much better if you apply yourself. Once I read this thread and confirm that I added you - it is definitely happening as it's scheduled.

What do you have to do in order to get promoted?
- Have a Myspace, Bandcamp, Facebook page with some music app added, a band website. Have original music, unless all of your work is covers.
- Reply in this thread and you'll be promoted on the first available Tuesday or Saturday, with a tweet prompting over thousand of I-M.net's followers to check you out.

I have selected a couple of people for the next days already - I hope they do not mind, to see how this will work. Once the tweet's out, I'll add it here.

Hi Iva, sign me up please

http://www.soundcloud.com/adam-friend

[Kubaki]

I'll submit "The Odd Socks Revival", Estress' Band

[Iva]

Estress submitted himself in the meantime and he gets the dibs for the Mayday, so would you like to submit yourself for the 08th of May (Adam gets the 04th...).

[Kubaki]

That would be great, even thoug i think my music isn't really ready for a big audience. on the other side, what could i loose?

[Iva]

My writing wasn't ready for a bigger audience for about six years, yet now that it is, I wished more people had seen it along the way, so yes...absolutely nothing to lose there, at least IMHO. I guess that's a yes.

[Kubaki]

yes

[jowonio]

Hi thanks so much for the invite on twitter.. great forum, and of course love the IM site, I am always impressed by such genuine artists as John, they are very rare in the world, and must be treasured. i'd love it if you'd promote Jowonio through this bit of the forum.. we have a facebook page at http://www.facebook....112385702119236 and our ep the meat and bread variations with a guest spot from the mighty 'merzbow' is available on itunes and all those download places http://itunes.apple....ons/id359726536

thank you again.. and good luck with your poetry, it can be such hard work getting stuff out there, but enjoy the process, and keep real and true... it will come.


peace

John

Hi John. I am the person you spoke to on Twitter (the poet). Glad that this turned out to be what you actually asked, as I was scared for a bit that it was a random add and that my suggestion of this thread ended up being awkward.

The tweet will go live in one week (as the next available date is 18th of May) and I have also added your project's Facebook page to Invisible Movement FB page's favourites (http://www.facebook....bleMovement.net).

we're from The Netherlands (Utrecht to be precise) and have site at: www.dzork.com
o, and there's a free EP to be downloaded over there!

cheerz,.
Lowi

[Iva]

Of course. But please, promise me one thing for future: promise me that you understand that links don't work without http://, yet they mostly work without www.

[jowonio]

Thanks to all of you who listened to our music.. and even more thank to those of you who headed over to iTunes/cdbaby etc and bought our ep

hope the sun is shining on you

john

[martynkabassplayer]

Hey thar, let us be part of this!

Hope we're original enough..

[TheMadcap]

I started my own record label in Michigan called Melting Records. I would love to have any of the six bands featured from themeltingrecords.com

[Iva]

I'll like you both even more if you remember that an URL has to have http:// in the front in order to be clicked. I've been repeating that for years to everyone on here and it really, really is simple.

martynkabassplayer, of course you are. Your band will go on this Thursday.

TheMadcap, they can have all the six spots from Sunday to whenever we're done with it. Also, would be nice if this wasn't your only reason for joining the forum. Not obligatory, but it would be nice.

Hi Iva,

Not sure if you're still doing this or not, but I'd be happy to get a little more exposure for my songs and videos that I've put up on youtube. I'm not really a 'band' so maybe you won't want to include me, but here's the link to my channel:

Thanks,
Dan

[Iva]

I am...I was just too busy to do backspins in June. You're in for the day after tomorrow - 08th July.

Still waiting for TheMadcap's response.

[Iva]

Now if I only could find that tweet. Anyway, these guys are on today. http://www.yourforum...angled-badgers/

Hi Iva. I've just recorded a new EP called "Happenings In Room 23"

Take a listen to it here...

If you like it, I'd be very appreciative to be a part of the promotions that you do. Thanks!
