Hi you’re at HotHothouse Studio TV…I’m your host Richard Morales and welcome to New Music Monday.  We caught up with the emerging rock band As Is while they were being interviewed on the national syndicated internet radio show “Live with Billy Moses. 

This is an interview Billy will never forget and is definitely in the top ten. Billy has a national internet radio show that he let us in on.  Thanks to Billy, Robin and the band members of As Is: Daniel – vocals, Kirk – bass/vocals, Gravey – guitar/vocals and Richard – drums.

Rehearsal studios are happening places especially at Hothouse Studios. There is always something unsual going on here at the rehearsal studio. As Is rehearses at Hothouse Studios and we are honored to call them our friends. Learn more about As Is here.

It’s a story about some rogue ice cream bunnies scouring the streets and back alleys of the city searching for ice cream lovers to victimize, while Ronny’s new single “Tomorrow is Burning” is churning up the street. Enjoy.

Submissions are free, and the new show is causing a sensation because it is the first talent show to offer artists and bands everywhere an equal chance to win the fame of national TV exposure, a potential record contract, and a $10,000 grand prize. 

Make A Star TV is the first web-to-TV talent show of its kind. It launched as a syndicated program on Fuse TV in December 2008. The 30-minute show is broadcast on Saturdays at 10.30am (EST and PST). The 13 part series concludes in March, when the grand prize winner will be announced.

All the artists and bands using Hothouse Studios are encouraged to enter.  Just shoot a video of yourselves (or have a friend do it), and upload it from any computer.  If you don’t have a computer, you can ask for help at your public library, school or Hothouse Studios. Hothouse Rehearsal Studios is entering into the swing of things, because we want to help local talent make it onto a national stage.

>>> IMPORTANT INFORMATION <<<

Even those without a video camera can participate, because MakeAStar.com also offers the opportunity to sing from a webcam directly into site-based software.

The Original Music Contest’s Audition Phase, allows artists and bands anywhere in the US to get their work exposed on MakeAStar.com, and potentially on TV. The Audition Phase winners will advance to a 4 week face-off (the Hollywood Phase) from which the final winner of the Original Music Contest will emerge on March 14.

“The unique equal chance opportunity of MakeAStar.com and the Make A Star TV show is that an artist or band can upload a video at the beginning of a week at no cost, and at the end of the week find that same video featured on a national TV show because their work impressed the judges and the public” said Dr. Iman Foroutan, inventor of the Make A Star contest platform.

Make A Star’s online contest system is a patented process whereby thousands of videos can be pitted against each other in a bracketed tournament system. All music genres are featured.  In each round, videos getting the most votes each week advance to the next bracket round until the most popular videos emerge to be included in the TV show. The system prevents multiple votes for a single contestant by the same user and provides flexible vote weighting for both fans and industry judges, so contestants get the fairest possible consideration.

BAND BIO: GETTING STARTED ON THE RIGHT FOOT (PART-1)
The old saying “The more things change, the more they remain the same,” is as true today as it ever was. Even though we see rapid technology developments in the production side of the recording industry, as well as the legal and marketing side (thanks to innovations and new marketing opportunities that abound on the Internet), the “old fashioned” idea of getting down into the trenches and working to promote your own music is more important than ever before; it will always be the foundation that entrepreneurial musicians use to build their success, no matter what technological advances are made in the future.

And one of the very first and foremost necessities in taking those initial successful steps is of course the development of a great bio amplifying your band’s musical caliber. Read the entire article here.
