(X)Cross-Pollination
Across the Nation Tour™
***2005 Dates and Venues will be updated soon!**
Tour Background
Starting this year, DEMO will
select seven very diverse independent recording acts to be a part of its annual
(X)Cross-Pollination Across the Nation Tour™. The (X)Cross-Pollination
Across the Nation Tour™ is an annual college tour that travels to the Top 30
drinking and partying college towns in America. The tour, which kicks off in
early September each year, promises to be one of the most fun-filled traveling
road shows in the annals of rock and roll that would upstage even the Rolling
Stones. For acts wanting to be considered for the tour, please mail a
professional press kit to us postmarked no later than 04.30.03. The acts
selected for the tour will be contacted by DEMO representatives by 06.15.03. Here are the
following genres that will be represented in the tour:
Folk
Rockabilly
Black Rock
Punk Rock
Reggae
Latino
All-female Alternative Rock
Tour Criteria
All selections will be made by
DEMO and are final. Below are the criteria that prospective acts must meet to
be considered for the annual tour:
 |
The recording act(s) must be signed to an
independent label. The independent label doesn’t need to be a major
distributor or even have national distribution. Local or self-distribution is
fine. |
|
The act(s) must record and perform original
copyrighted music. Adding other people’s music to your repertoire is OK, but
the majority of your performance material must be original. |
|
The act(s) must have at least one record (or single)
in current release. |
|
Act(s) must own their professional
musical instruments. |
|
Access to van or other form of transportation for
transporting artists and their equipment. DEMO will provide gas, expenses,
and a salary for all touring acts. |
|
Must show proof of musical group ownership or at
least a DBA from the act(s) home state. |
|
Professional press kits. |
|
All acts must have contact numbers where they can be
reached 24-hours per day. |
|
All
acts must have an e-mail address. |
