E-TEAM 11/7

2008-11-07T17:26:00.001-05:00

Last week's tasks for Cradle of Filth and Killswitch Engage are still going strong.

CRADLE OF FILTH, HALLOWEEN TASK:

So as you all know, this past Tuesday, October 28th, Cradle of Filth's new album "Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder" started destroying shelves near you. Coincidentally (or not) the album release was just in time for All Hallow's Eve so we need you to do what you do best and promote the hell out of this, using Halloween discussions/sites as a tool!

Create a buzz/hype using lines such as: "Hosting or attending a Halloween party? Bring this CD along with you to add to the horrific adventures of the night."

Please edit the description below using your own terminology.

About this album: The album is conceptual and is based on the well-documented, true-life fall from grace of a shadowy historical figure named Gilles de Rais, a wealthy French nobleman who was one of Joan of Arc's brothers-in-arms. He was best known, however, as a prolific serial killer who mixed prayers with his nightly murders as well as an aspiring alchemist. He was accused of a panoply of crimes, among them heresy, demonology and kidnapping. There's even an extreme fringe sect of historians who question de Rais' true status, with some convinced he was framed.

Please also link to the album on Roadrunner's site here.

Target Band List:

Dimmu Borgir*Moonspell*Satyricon*Moonspell*Therion*Chthonic*Eternal Tears of Sorrow*Immortal*Naglfar*Dark Funeral*Children of Bodom*Nightwish*Within Temptation*Epica*Carpathian Forest*Amorphis*Behemoth*Old Man's Child

There is a league-wide initiative to celebrate the 100th anniversary of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Soliciting artists to record their own version to video to place at www.mlb.com/babyruth. Also looking to cut together a line each from a few artists in one video for display on stadium Jumbotrons. Ends June 30th. Some current participants include Jimmy Buffet, Train, REO Speedwagon.

Their in-studio recording program is scheduling 2 big acts a month now. Also launching a similar Hot Prospects section at www.mlb.com/entertainment to focus on breaking bands. Doing 2 per month, more with label underwriting. Am looking to include The Parlor Mob, Theory, and Airbourne if possible.

New, quick program for MLB.com Highlights. Will combine music with highlight reels on site, which are also syndicated to and often picked up by television. Would require a very short form promotional license. Am positing TPM up front for this one as well as other on-going acts. This can be a rolling promo between us.

The Parlor Mob - First Week Digital Sales News

2008-03-21T15:41:00.004-04:00

Another Roadrunner first.

We released our first album digitally prior to a physical release with The Parlor Mob's AND YOU WERE A CROW with great initial success. Although on the surface this number may seem low what is incredible is that this band is literally starting from ground zero. No previous touring, no previous releases, no real fan base outside of Red Bank, NJ and we sold over 600 albums in their first week of release.

Check out some quotes from iTunes where the average rating was "5 Stars":

"I saw this band twice at SXSW and this is by far the best band I have seen live. That's a BIG statement, as I have seen thousands of band's live - but this band plays twice as good live as they do on the album - and they sound great on this album. I'd rate this album with 6 stars if I could"

"This album blindsided me because I had never heard of them. Just think Wolfmother but instead of 4 good songs, the entire album is awesome"

"Could Easily be mistaken for a new White Stripes CD" -

"WOW, This band right here gives me confirmation I needed that everything in the rock genre won't just be pop rock or punk rock and can actually be good! Definitely buying this"

Theory - Airbourne Take NEW! By Storm

2008-03-21T10:46:00.001-04:00

As we noted earlier in the month, Theory of a Deadman and Airbourne were both accepted into the ClearChannel NEW! program for March and were noted as "Artists to Watch." The program supports radio stations and their web campaigns with rich media and marketing.

I am pleased to report that Theory of a Deadman's "So Happy" is the #2 rock song this month so far, with labelmates Airbourne rounding out the top 10 at #10.
