Zannel Music Celebrates Followpalooza!
Zannel, the award winning micro blogging service, will join up with The Bottom of the Hill, Scissors For Lefty, and Miss Derringer on May 15, 2009 to award Bears!Bears!Bears! and Amarye two dream packages for independent artists for their success in Followpalooza.
The Followpalooza music contest (www.zannel.com/followpalooza) challenged emerging musicians to gather the most followers by posting pictures and short video posts with Zannel.com. Followpalooza enabled artists to connect with fans, grow awareness through social media, and have a chance at some great prizing.
The first place prize included a two day recording session with Grammy award winning producer, Warren Riker, at Broken Wave Studios, a support slot with Scissors For Lefty at The Bottom of the Hill, a Zannel featured interview, a flip camera, and a mentor session with the newly popular Authentik Artists. The second place prize included a five-song studio session at Apollo Studios in San Francisco, the opening spot for Scissors For Lefty at The Bottom of the Hill, a flip camera, a Zannel featured interview, and a mentor session with Tricycle Records. Throughout the contest Zannel awarded weekly prizes to the top bands of the week and selected participants were featured on Warren Riker’s Broken Wave Studios radio program. The contest officially started March 1, 2009 and ended May 1, 2009.
Zannel will launch the second round of Followpalooza on June 1, 2009 for all past participants and new artists looking for innovative ways to build their audiences and win cool prizes. First place prize includes a Gig Merchandise Package from www.discmakers.com, a one-year Sonic Bids membership, two special quest management mentor sessions, and a Flip camera.
