New Deal, Fast Turnaround!

Post by daniel481 » Sun Jan 18, 2009 3:04 pm

Hey guys,Woke up this morning to find an offer in my e-mail to sign the two songs I submitted for this listing:ROCK CUES (SONGS AND INSTRUMENTALS) NEEDED for a couple of new reality shows slated to air on the world's largest music cable network. The Music Supervisor for these shows needs to hear a variety of "gritty rock" - styles can range from Rockabilly, Punk, Swamp Rock, Metal, Southern Rock, etc. The pace needs to be fast and the tone should be wacky, high energy, dirty and fun. You can think in the reference range of Black Flag, Hank Williams III, Suicidal Tendencies, Reverend Horton Heat, Social Distortion, Minutemen, etc. Songs with vocals and instrumentals will be considered - be sure the tempos are fast and the vibe is gritty and "down & dirty". There are no lyrical restrictions here, but the tone should match that of the music - instrumentals are okay too. You can also think along the lines of the music behind "Jackass", for more direction and inspiration. Recordings must be Broadcast Quality (great home demos should be okay). Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than December 4, 2008. TAXI #Y081204TVI got the notice that they were forwarded the day before Christmas, so about a 3 week turnaround there. These two will end up being the 8th and 9th cues I've signed as a direct result of TAXI in about a year and a half of membership.Now I'm just hoping for placements! Dan
