Indie Music Festival 2009 Announced

indieThe Indie music scene has flourished in recent years and people have been looking forward to much of the music industry for relief this year when the recession is biting hard and taking toll on majority of society. Music as it seems is unaffected by the recession and as testament to this, the music festival planned for the South by Southwest festival and conference scheduled this coming march, will prove testament to this. The music industry as a whole is reeling from loss of album sales on traditional music but with respect to electronic or internet based music purchases, it seems to be going fine. may it be free or for promotional reasons, the internet has allowed people access to some of their favorite songs the world over. For a few dollars, they can get hold of their favorite tunes and download them straight to their iPods and many other digital music players allowing them to take it anywhere.
The industry may be faltering and the economy too but it seems music is a simple way of letting the tunes take us away from the stresses of daily life. The music industry has suffered greatly due to the de-regulation of music and with many albums out on the net without proper content control measures, they are shared and enjoyed without bounds. The industry as a whole may be spiraling down but music will forever be part of our daily lives as we listen and let the tunes sweep us far from this troubled times.

Independent Music Awards

The industry has announced that the finalists have been announced and the event is supposed to give credence and due respect to these people of extreme talent. Being independent isn’t easy for unlike talents with big business fueling their music, just getting your music out and to get it out the most is challenge enough. The winners of the process would benefit from being promoted by eMusic this coming 2009 getting them the much needed exposure they desire. The aim is to get independent musicians linked with fans and industry people who can help them get their music out.
The music industry has had its ups and downs but this is all harder for all those talented indie artists for they have little cash and only their fans to rely on. We will bring these people out of the shadows and hopefully intot he spotlight for their moment of glory, even for a glance of the industry.

MayFire


Image Source: bp0.blogger.com

May Fire is one band of particular interest in the Bay Area music scene. The group was formed in Los Angeles before going to the North a few years back. And they have recently released their EP which is called, The List. It is the third part of an interesting musical concept released in a span of two years. The first was Right and Wrong CD in 2006. Lead singer and guitarist Catty Tasso acts as the musical focus of the band, it seems. But when you get to listen to them for a few more times. You’ll realize that the band members play the same role as with Tasso. The divergent background of the members of The MayFire infuses the edginess subtle in their music. The EP as it is, serves, but does not overdo it. It is a great album. Every track has something for you to remember. The MayFire consist of Catty Tasso, vocals and guitars, El Pipe on drums, Rob Gwin on bass/piano and Miguel Insignares as second guitars.,
