SideCho Records
SideCho Records Signs Via Audio
Via Audio is a 4-piece pop/indie/experimental band from the Northeast, and SideCho is very happy to have them as part of our family. Their debut album, Saysomethingsaysomethingsaysomething, will be in stores on September 25, 2007, and was produced by Jim Eno of Spoon (who has also produced Mates of State, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Maria Taylor, and Okkervil River). Deathcab for Cutie's Chris Walla even noted Via Audio as his "new favorite band" according to an article in Under the Radar magazine recently. The band will be playing the Monolith Festival in Colorado with such big names as The Flaming Lips, Spoon, and Turbonegro in September.

Looking for a Summer Internship?
Of course you are, and it's just your luck that we are looking for some summer interns. We are currently interviewing applicants for internships with SideCho Records. Please keep in mind, our offices are located in Signal Hill, CA (in Southern CA) and therefore are only taking resumes from those that live here or are planning to be here for the summer. If you are interested, please email a cover letter and resume to annette@sidecho.com with the subject "SideCho Intern." The cover letter should describe your aspirations in the music industry (AKA what you want to do in the biz) as well as why you'd like to intern for us and why you think you'd be a good intern. If you're not sure what you want to do in the industry, don't worry about it. This internship will actually help you figure that out!

Blinded Black Needs Your Help!
Alternative Press magazine is holding a "Fake Cover Contest" where bands have to create their own fake AP cover and get their fans to post the cover as their default image on Myspace. The band with the most people sporting their fake cover by the middle of June will get the image reprinted in AP with a little Q&A. Cool huh? So here's where YOU come in:

Step 1: Go to Blinded Black's Myspace page (myspace.com/blindedblack) and save their current default picture to your computer.
Step 2: Upload that picture to YOUR Myspace profile and set it as YOUR default picture.
Step 3: Head over to groups.myspace.com/apfakecovercontest and join the group.

That's it! The contest ends June 10th (yeah, that's this Sunday!) so get to it!!

Peachcake

Help Peachcake Create Their Album Artwork!
That's right, you heard it correctly. Peachcake is asking for you to submit images of your own artwork/artistic creations to potentially be included/used within the album artwork for their new album, "What year will you have the World?.." Anything goes, but the band would prefer the art to follow a "World, worldly, or worldview" theme or perspective (hence the album title). Think: Peachcake microcosm or mini-world. There is no limit to how many images you can submit, but they must be original work from your imagination, and they must be submitted via the band's E-mail: Peachcakeimages@gmail.com.
