DMUSIC has a booth at the Bonnaroo Festival this year, June 11-14 a festival with over 100,000 fans and great acts like Dave Matthews, the Dead, String Cheese Incident, Government Mule, Burning Spear and lots more!

We have

1. 10x10 tent in the Sonic Village, which is where all of the music related activities go on. DMusic is right by the “music sharing village” where people burn their own samplers onsite and also by XM radio and the interview stage. The stage is where artists do “meet and greets”, interviews with XM which the crowd watches and acoustic set.

2. We have some tracks from our artists into the menu available for burning at the music sharing village.

3. We are selling DMusic compilation CD's Volume 1 and 2, as well as CD'S from other DMusic artists ( We just got them pressed, so all you artists who contributed tracks, we will be sending you 20 CD's each next week). The compilations will also be for sale on Dmusic after the festival.

4. We will be distributing some free DMUSIC sampler CD's from the artists who authorized their tracks on our first compilations, and other items.


5. We are also giving away a $1500 Gibson Heritage Folk guitar, made in 1994, to a lucky winner who purchased a CD or T-shirt.


SEE YOU THERE!

Heheh. Don't have an economic inferiority complex! Bob Dylan did Ok. And Castro was lawyer.

yes Castro was and I think is still a lawyer and still swims a lot.
" economic inferiority complex", thats a good one. Just want to pay rent and keep alive,lol.

Me too.

Hey I'll throw in a hundred bucks, fly out and work the booth.

Cool! I will confirm the details as soon as I hear back from Bonnaroo about tickets.

I can't travel or assist in person, but I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Got a special PayPal account or other repository for donations earmarked just for this?

leflaw, Code, email me at: zippythechipmunk "at" hotmail "dot" com with details. I'll toss in at least $100.

Zippy - You the man (or the monk, that is.) The donate button on the dmusic home page should be working again ( we are consolidating a couple accounts into one paypal account, which was the reason for the recent snafu).

Thanks, man, and keep bugging me for free t-shirts or Cd's or featured artists spot or something.

leflaw ill express post you 50 canadian dollars...hell it aint much...cause its canadian...but im a student...actually ill probably throw in a 100...with donations from people around me...so expect it soon...ill get it to you asap.

10 grand for a booth? Hell, I can't even afford tickets. And Bonnaroo is held in my back yard!

I will be VERY interested in knowing how receptive the Bonnaroo promoters will be to any boycott-riaa material, or even IF it will be permitted.

(Please print up and sell a bunch of anti-riaa stuff from cafe press along with free info.)

If I were to come up with tickets somehow, I would certainly donate time to help out with the booth as long as we are spreading the word while there.

...but 10 grand is pretty damn steep! Do they expect anybody paying that much for a booth to get back a profit? A hot-dog booth (for example) would have to sell 10 thousand hot dogs at $3-5 a piece to just break even.

WE are waiting for word on anti- riaa stuff....

What!? Clear Channel's allowing it? Awesome!

Allow it? If they allow any political speech they have to allow it?

I'm just saying that because I didn't think Clear Channel events would allow anything relatig to artiss that they didn't 'create'...

Wow... typos... damn keyboard...

'Create' meaning the ones they had playing at their venues that the bands were brought up playing in...

In a festival this big, that kind of price is kind of in the ball park. The way I look at it it's kind of like a poker game. If you want to play with the big guys, then you have to throw in the chips.
The way I like to do it is more grassroots way. Another words... I personal don't go after the big festival where it is very hard to get in but the smale festivals where it is easy to get in. To try to get into Newport Festival and other big ones is like getting in line (you should see the line).
At other times its nice when they contact you. Thats a whole different thing.
But when you have to go to big festival like this it cost them money and anyone that wants to (like getting a tent for dmusic) it cost you in getting in, simple.
Here we do a festival, www.floydfest.com and this will be the 3rd year. Last year we had about 12,000 people and its growing. But at a festival this small, it cost, and cost a lot. Maybe contact them? If so, tell'em I say hello. Wish I could play there again but have a date already set for a gig.

Way cool! I so wish I could make it out there. As much as I love driving, that's a bit far.

is anyone going to bonnaroo this year? should we set up a dmusic member meet-and-greet at the booth?

Done!

Well, Tracy and Djatari, and crew are down there right now setting up for tomorrow. Tracy@dmusic.com . Looks like a great show. We will be sending reports here.

Someone better tell us what the hell is going on. If you are NOT allowed to promote the boycott-riaa site nor related topics I want to know why dmusic even bothers to attend. If dmusic merely wants to join with the RIAA instead of being something supportive of the independent artists, they can do without us.

I know I am only going by what I am hearing on the grapevine/rumor-mill at this moment... but we deserve an explaination on what the heck is going on.

It BETTER NOT be an "mp3.com" situation all over again.

leflaw?

hey everyone!
back from bonnaroo-- to sum things up, everyone was really receptive of the site and it looks like we got a hell of a lot of people to check us out and upload their songs----- don't worry, dmusic is not going to become another mp3.com-- we just wanted to get the word out about the site and what better place to do it than a crowd of over 100,000 music enthusiasts? i was actually surprised with how interested people were, to the point where we had dmusic groupies that would hang out at our tent just to talk about the future of music---

if you're driving in the south, hopefully you'll see some dmusic bumper stickers as we were giving them out to the crowd---

-tracy

hey you gusy want to post the track listing for the compilations?

Dmusic musicians want access to distribution and promotion. Mainstream festivals feature RIAA artists. If we diss them at the front door, they won't let us in.

Bonnaroo said they would let Dmusic have a booth, but not boycott-riaa. Sounds reasonable. Its their festival.
