Sylvan Lane

Hello Everybody! This is just a quick announcement about my upcoming radio program on Missouri State University's student-run Internet radion station, The Growl (http://thegrowl.missouristate.edu/contact.html). It is one of the older Internet radio stations in the region, founded in '98-'99. Derek Haff, who engineered most of the demos you've heard on this site, runs the station. One thing, I'm not a student there, so I guess it's student-run, but not completely studuent programed. But I'm off track... I have already asked a few members of USBW if they were interested in submitting their material, and am now posting a general message to all of you to direct me to your profile, if you are interested! I'll be covering almost all genres and signed and unsignedbands alike. as signed bands go, I'm seeking those that are on the fringe or have made a major impact on modern music; from unsigned bands I'm looking for bands that are future pioneers and have something unique to contribute. If you think that you fill that description, then submit your material. You can do this two ways: 1. Just contact me from this profile and your message will come to the band address (brandon@sylvanlane.com). I will get back to you as soon as I can. 2. The show already has an email address and will soon have a mayspace presence for listeners to check out. The show's email address is: thefamousbitingguy@gmail.com Another perk about the show is that it will also be available for download, so fans of your band will have the chance to either catch the broadcast, and/or grab it off the net and have it forever. Plus, lets face it, the more publicity, the better! Before I go, I would encourage all of you to submit you material to The Growl. you can visit them at their website, http://thegrowl.missouristate.edu/contact.html, and use the contact page to contact them regarding unsigned artist submission. You can also just try submitting your material by posting it to: The Growl c/o Derek Haff - (or Terra Haff or Ben Craig, it will find it's way) 901 S National Springfield, MO 65804 This will give your material a chance to be included in the regular rotation. Hope that some of you will take me up on this offer. And let me stress again that I'm looking for ALL KINDS of music. I won't promise that everything submitted will make it on the program, but there is a good chance of it. Hope someone reads this. Take care and I'm looking forward to working with you.

hi everyone who's not reading, and maybe a few of you that are. anyhow, first of all we would like to start off by apologizing about this whole gorgatron bit. we were using it for another purpose on this site and now everytime we post something, it uses the name. we know it's rather daft, considering the kind of music we make. we just upgraded our account due to the amount of streams and downloads we've had in the short time we've been here. i think it's been about 2 months now. so, thanks to all of you who have been listening! with this upgrade we're hoping to get on some of the radio stations and once in a while be one of the highlighted artists. we hope that is done randomly. :-) really, in short, we did it for the extra exposure and have been surprised by the amount of activity on this site. no one we know has a clue we're on here, or at least not at the moment. so this means that all the activity has been from members of the site and those who come here to listen to the good music that is available here at unsignedbandweb.net. we were recently interviewed on the Missouri State University student-run internet radio station called the Growl (http://thegrowl.missouristate.edu/) on the weekly show, Epiphone. it will later be posted on www.ourmedia.org. once it is, we'll post the URL to the interview for those of you who are interested. the Growl also plays mostly independent and unsigned music. i would encourage all of you to send in your music (no press kits or other glossy promotional stuff is needed, just music and a bit of info), as they play much of what they get. they have been playing our material in their rotation since it was recorded last year. that about wraps it up. thanks again to all of you who have been listening and please tell anyone who you think might also be interested in our material about it. also, feel free to distribute it as much as you want. we'd love to hear from you, either by signing our guestbook, leaving a song comment, or just by sending us a quick email to let us know what you think. we'll be doing a better job keeping this site up-to-date on any and all activities. take care! brandon www.sylvanlane.com

Well, I must recant a few statements I made in my previous message regarding a lack of activity. I've noticed over the last month or so that htere is actuall more activity here than on myspace or other sites where we have our music posted. The interesting thing here is that I've never told any friends that our music is posted here. It is not mentioned on our website. This means that all the activity - streams, downloads, etc... - have come from other unsignedbandweb.net users! This is most encouraging. I'd still like to hear more from those of you who listen and download our material. It's very encouraging, and we're most grateful that so many have listened and downloaded our music. To many, it won't appear that there has been all that much activity, but consider that this account has only been active for a little more than a month. I'm really shocked that there has been this much activity. So, If you are reading this and you are listening, please send us a quick note, or maybe even sign our guestbook. We love to hear comments from listeners, regardless of what there is to say. We're just wanting to know what you think. Again, thanks to all of you who are listening and downloading. We really appreciate it and hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as we like making it. With our style of music, we have been a bit skeptical as to whether people would take to it or not. the fact that there has been this amount of activity in this short of time, is very encouraging and helps keep us motivated to make more. We're hoping to add a few more self-recorded tunes soon. Take care everyone, and keep on listening. Brandon www.sylvanlane.com
