36df8163-a87f-48a8-9842-fe77ad2eb81eHello to all our dear Sonicbids friends!

Every year, October kicks-off our busy travel season during which we get the chance to hit up tons of great events and meet lots of good friends from all corners of the earth. We’re very happy to be officially kicking off our “events season” this year with an event as awesome as the CMJ Music & Film Marathon 2009 in New York City! See that picture to the left of yours truly? That’s from the Beauty Bar two CMJ’s ago. Getting pretty.

If you’re planning to attend CMJ 2009 as well, be sure to stop by the Sonicbids booth at the Tradeshow (we’re booth #7) and say “Hi”! I’ll be there along with Tess and Aliki and we’d love to chat with you in person. In addition to our sunny disposition and helpful tips and advice, we’ll also have some cool treats for people who visit, including a Marshall halfstack (MG100HFX head and MG412A cabinet), a year supply of D’Addario XL Strings (20 sets), a Planet Waves Instrument Cable Kit and the entire First Official Beatles Strap Collection by Planet Waves.

You should also check out the “Specific Business Concepts Applied For The Modern Day Music Artist” panel that our founder, Panos Panay, will be moderating on Tuesday, October 20th at 12:30pm, in Room 905/907 at NYU’s Kimmel Center (located at 60 Washington Square S.). The panel will cover topics that will help the modern-day empowered musician like you manage the business aspects of your career.

If you’re also showcasing at CMJ, we’d love to catch your set; post your showcase info here (date/time/location)! We’ll see you at the CMJ Artist Lounge too, where we’ll be giving away even more gifts by D’Addario and our good friends at Jakprints.

Last but not least, don’t forget to follow Tess on Twitter (@SonicbidsTess), as she will be keeping you posted with the latest event news and fun stuff!

See you in New York!
Mike

UPDATE FROM TESS:

Hello from NYC!  Thanks for all the responses and comments, everyone. We’ve been having a great time meeting you and checking out the showcases. We still have some t-shirts and Sonicbids undies to giveaway so come by to our booth (we’re #7).  We’ll post another full blog post when we get back, but I just wanted to make a quick update to say thanks!  — Tess :)

Andy Gill of Gang of Four has called Los Angeles veteran dreampop quartet the black watch (14 cds now) “Like Nick Drake and My Bloody Valentine with a Beatles twist.” High praise indeed.

Believe the (minimal) hype–this is a mysterious, elusive band.

the black watch play LIT LOUNGE on WEDSNEDAY OCT 21 @ 8 pm sharp. 93 2nd Ave in the East Village.

Will Kevans plays CMJ 09 Wed 21st Oct @ 269 Local os 9-10pm E Houston st Ave & Essex St New York NY 10002 rsvp Be great to C U there

“Rhinestone spangled Nashville-style country pop with smooth and engaging boy-next-door delivery.”
CMJ 2009

“Quite possibly the finest home grown singer songwriter of recent times reared in these fair isles”
http://www.losingtoday.com

The names associated with his debut solo album ‘Everything You Do (due for release early in 2010) speak for themselves. He is currently working with producers Ian Grimble (Travis, Manic Street Preachers and The Enemy) Gavin Monaghan (The Editors, Ryan Adams, The Twang) and Andy Hughes (The Orb, Basement Jaxx).
He has recently returned from 2 showcases for this year’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto where he also recorded 2 new tracks for the album with Tom McKay at Canterbury Studios. The new tracks were mixed by Bowie/Prince producer Mark Plati in New York. The album has now been mastered at Abbey Road studios.

His unique Nashville-influenced brand of hooky songs have given this performer quite a reputation on the live circuit, where he’s a regular at venues such as The Water Rats, The Borderline and The Fly. He was described by one critic as being ‘Ian McNabb meets Squeeze’

The next single is due for release in February and The Album in January 2010 on Stunt Dog Records. With a UK TOUR Starting at The Royal Yacht Squadron Isle of Wight in November and ending in Glasgow 3 weeks later. Will is also happy to announce a Gibson Guitar endorsement for the tour and has been chosen to play at this year’s prestigious CMJ Music Festival in New York
On October 21st.

‘Promising up and coming songsmith/performer, Kevans purveys his stylish and accomplished, rootsy, pop influenced rock. His sensitive and mature talent’

‘Catchy debut single’
