SAN FRANCISCO - The annual Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo has renewed its longstanding commitment to promoting independent music by partnering with SonicBids and offering three prime-time, full-paying gigs exclusively to independent artists, organizers of the 29th annual celebration of flesh, fetish and fantasy announced.
"This is a natural collaboration," said Exotic Erotic Ball founder Perry Mann. "The Ball is visible, and virtually any band with a sexy lead singer or provocative lyrics feels they are a great fit with the show."
David Ellis, event sponsor for Sonicbids, said that there is "so much creative musical talent among today's independent and unsigned bands."
"When a long-running event like the Exotic Erotic Ball acknowledges this by actively looking to the indies to discover the right talent for their event - and then gives that talent VIP treatment and the chance to play before an audience size usually reserved for signed acts - this is something we can get behind. We heard great things from the bands they selected last year, and look forward to offering up our platform again for them to discover 3 new bands in 2008."
Over 30,000 are expected to attend this year's two-day Ball, set for October 24 and 25.
To be considered for gigs at "The World's No. 1 Wildest and Sexiest Party," as dubbed by E! Entertainment TV, bands must request consideration by submitting their "electronic press kit" through Sonicbids on or before September 5 by clicking here.
