What the hell is NewBandTV.com?
We are an online music network that presents its content on a fully
interactive website that allows fans to interact with bands as well as
other fans. In addition to providing an outlet for music videos of
unsigned and independently signed bands, we actively add to out
exclusive content by filming live sets, going in the recording studio,
and having bands stop by the NewBandTV offices for exclusive interviews
and performances. It's basically what music television should be, but
what cable doesn't deserve yet. There's a more detailed description of
all of our capabilities in the "About Us" section. What are all those
crazy terms I see floating around? We got so tired of seeing internet
terms like "blog", "forum" and "favorites" thrown around community sites
that we decided to spice things up a bit and make our own.
* Front Row - Your Front Row is how
other people connect with you. You use it to make journal-like posts and
let everyone know what's on your mind, what show's you are hitting up or
what's on your ipod. Then, other NewBand-ers can let you know what they
think about that and you can go to theirs and do the same. It's pretty
neat.
* Backstage - We like to refer to our
forums as our "backstage" area. This is where everyone can go to vent,
discuss and gush about all things NewBandTV.com. From what bands you'd
like to see interviewed to your comments about our newest music video,
you can thread, comment and emoticon away.
* Line-Up - This is where you put your
favorite people, videos, bands and songs. Any combination will do, so
fill it up until your heart's content and let everyone know what you're
all about. Make sure your friends put you in theirs so you know if they
are truly your friend or not.
What if I get addicted to NewBandTV.com?
Addiction is an issue that we take very seriously here at NewBandTV.com.
It is one that we experienced as a major complaint in many of the
marketing studies that we conducted prior to launch. Unfortunately,
however, it had been concluded that NewBandTV.com addiction does not go
away. So aside from going at your computer with a baseball bat (but why
waste a perfectly good computer?), your only other option is to tell all
your friends about NewBandTV.com. That way, you can share your addiction
with the ones you love.
Where are your studios?
NewBandTV.com is based out of an office park in Costa Mesa, Ca. Our
nearest major landmarks are an Ikea, a Hooters and a La Quinta Inn. Can
we stop by and hang out? Sure. Just make sure you aren't soliciting
(it's plastered on the door that we don't want any). And bring any
assortment of the following: pizza, pogs, obscure movies on DVD, high
quality music videos, a band to interview, models, guitar hero skills, a
funny hat, old school mighty ducks memorabilia, coupons to local buffets
and some water for our money tree, Camille.
I have some free time and love what you guys are doing. How can I help
out?
We could always use some extra hands around here. It gets pretty hectic,
so if you live in the Orange County area and have some free time, just
find someone on the NewBand Crew page that you want to help and let them
know how you can. If you don't live near us but still want to help
spread the word, email sarah@newbandtv.com and let her know you are
interested and she'll get you started with some swag to pass out.
How can I get my band's music video into the rotation?
Feel free to mail us your music video (see Submissions page for
instructions) and we promise that we will watch it. If we think it's
worthy, we'll let you know from there. The only other way to get your
video on the front page besides impressing us via snail mail is to
upload it to your band's profile and tell all your fans to vote on it.
Once it gets enough points, we'll request a physical copy from you and
put it up there.
I know a band that should be on your site. Wanna hear them?
Duh! We're all about new bands here at, uh, NewBandTV. Email us with any
and all new bands that we should get in touch with. If you know them, or
it's your band that you are suggesting, we recommend them to have a
NewBandTV profile first. It's really a turn on when we see that a band
has made some effort to be with us.
