Winners of YouTube Underground Contest Announced
At least a few anxious mothers of indie rockers can now kick their kids out of the garage; the winners of the Cingular-sponsored YouTube Underground contest have been announced, giving four unsigned bands their chance at internet fame and fortune. Most Creative was Ostrich Head's Freak Show Carnival, while Greenland's "The Way It Is" won for best song and Pawnshop Roses took the award for best live performance. The best video, combining animation and live action on a "zero dollar budget" to create an homage to A-Ha's "Take On Me", is Maldroit's "He Said She Said."
The four bands will receive all the goodies they might need to launch themselves into the music industry, including Gibson Guitar equipment, a live gig at a NYC venue, and an appearance on today's Good Morning America. Whether Matt Lauer's approval equals a real shot at a record deal remains to be seen.
I write to propose you I you should like to write a new on your blog about
SWAVE, the first animated virtual band in Latin America before several
medias. (Soon on MTV Latino).
If yes, with pleasure I will send to you the newsletter band and some
images for this.
Best regards,
Juan Carlos Capacho Durán
