HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Apr. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A&R Select, the music industry’s benchmark in independent promotion and marketing, is currently hosting an online Battle of the Bands competition held at BB King’s Bar and Grille, located at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, Calif. Over 80 local and regional bands will perform for an industry panel of well-known record labels, music supervisors, managers, music directors, and publishers. A cash prize of $2,500 awaits the winner along with local airplay on KROQ-FM (“K-Rock”), L.A.’s top modern rock radio station.
The Battle of the Bands competition, performed every Monday night for the next twelve (12) weeks, is viewable via web stream on A&R Select’s MySpace page: www.myspace.com/arselect. The runners-up will receive a free one-year membership to A&R Select (a $500 value), where their music will be considered for licensing deals for film, television, video games, commercials, and record labels. Members also receive a bio, image consultation, and the popular A&R artist store (their version of iTunes) where artists can upload and sell their music online.
A&R Select has been quite visible of late, having staged overwhelmingly successful events at the Sundance Film Festival, South by Southwest Festival, and most recently, the Winter Music Conference in Miami Beach, all designed to fully promote A&R Select and its talented roster of artists. This latest event can be viewed “live” every Monday night for the next 12 weeks.
