Harmony Festival Preview: Cake with the Kennedy’s (Playlist Included!)

Friday, June 5th, 2009

By Adam Rabinovitz

harmonyfestival Harmony Festival Preview: Cake with the Kennedys (Playlist Included!)As summer arrives the eagerly anticipated outdoor music festival season is upon us. One of the festivals which I’m planning to attend this year is the Harmony Festival which takes place next week in Santa Rosa, CA from June 12 – June 14th.

The Harmony Festival is one of the longest running outdoor music festivals – now entering its 31st year.  Starting out with only 500 participants, attendance for this event has reached 25,000 and now includes camping, vendors, speakers, and performers from all over the world. I attended last year for artists including Damian Marley, The Devil Makes Three, George Clinton and Heavyweight Dub Champion; it was fantastic.

Artists performing this year include India.Irie, The Dead Kennedy’s, CAKE, The Orb, Bad Brains, Michael Franti, and many more!  There is also a nightly party/dance event called Techno Tribal which is a great way to end the evening.  As a bonus, this year they have also added an Eco Cup skateboarding competition as well as a Tattoo parlor. Check out a full line up here.

You can also check them out on Twitter or on Facebook.

Here are some tracks from Artists performing this year to tide you over till the 12th:

 Happy 420 Playlist

Okay, maybe that last song has nothing to do with smoking, reggae or  420,  but if you’ve been “celebrating” enough all day, “Sni Bong” starts to sound like “That’s My Bong” and what true stoner wouldn’t love putting a Dengue Fever tune about their bong on repeat?

If  you’d prefer just to rock out to reggae and dub, check out last summer’s IODAcast Reggae Spotlight here.

IODA does not encourage the use of illegal substances. We do, however, encourage the enjoyment of heady rock, rap and reggae.

Happy 420!

iTunes Indie Spotlight Page- Exciting New Opportunity for Independent Artists

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

By: Jillian Putnam-Smith

We are really excited that iTunes launched this program and for the opportunity to work with them to spotlight even more amazing independent artists.  It’s lovely to see one of the largest online retailers giving the indies some love!

Hypebot explains:

“iTunes has added an Indie Spotlight page that provides a home for bands and fans who prefer music created outside of the major label machine.  The unofficial soft launch includes an indie podcast, playlists and label samplers alongside featured artists, though more features may be in the pipeline.”

Here’s a peek at the new page below.  Features include the already established Hip-Hop, Rock/Alt, Singer-Songwriter and Dance & Electronic Spotlights that rotate each week and have an accompanying podcast, new release features, playlists, podcast gems, label samplers and more.

IndieSpotlightPage iTunes Indie Spotlight Page  Exciting New Opportunity for Independent Artists

Visit www.itunes.com/indiespotlight to discover the page for yourself!

Congrats to IODA-distributed artists who made it onto the page’s debut: Ultre, Faunts, The Love Language, In Flagranti, Here We Go Magic, Deep Rooted, Now, Now Every Children, Woodpigeon, Joker, 2000F & J Kamata, The Coast and Boy in Static!

F.A.Q. Who?- An Introduction to the F.A.Q.U. Section

Monday, December 8th, 2008

As self-proclaimed “Marketeers” our job is to present our products in the most effective and illuminating way. That being said . . . we’ve gotten rather bored of the conventional use of F.A.Q. and have decided to use the newly coined term: F.A.Q.U. This could mean “F.A.Q. University” (the politically correct version) or… “F.A.Q. YOU, you old, static Frequently Asked Questions sections!” (not as PC). We’ll just say our intention was the university thing to stay on the safe side.

On a more serious note . . . we have SO many marketing conversations and debates here at IODA on a day to day basis that we thought best to start sharing some more of these discussions in an open forum with YOU – our beloved Rightsholders.

What you should expect to find here is day to day examples of life in the digital fast lane. Where we blur the lines between marketing and promotion, and focus on RESULTS – the kind that generate REVENUE. From “Why should I price down releases at Amazon?” to “My band has a viral YouTube hit- How do I make money off of this?” – you’ll get answers to all of those questions.

What are the key ingredients needed to generate real revenue? Good music and a good marketing strategy.

Did we say we LOVE music? Well, we all do! Please make sure to check out each of our playlists and read the Meet the Team section in the case you want to know more on who is behind the F.A.Q.U. posts and what they are listening to.
