NAMM Report From ALTITUDE Posted Online

January 27, 2009

Altitude has uploaded a three-minute feature on this year's NAMM show, which was held January 15-18, 2009 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. The report includes interviews with MASTODON, STATIC-X, Dino Cazares (DIVINE HERESY, ex-FEAR FACTORY),Mick Fleetwood, and Rob "Blasko" Nicholson (OZZY OSBOURNE).

The NAMM show is one of the largest music products trade show in the world, its only major competition being the Musikmesse in Frankfurt. It is held every January in Anaheim, California at the Anaheim Convention Center. The January 2008 show had 1,560 exhibitors and a record-breaking 88,100 attendees.

The NAMM show is not open to the general public, only to members of the music trade.

The acronym NAMM originally stood for the National Association of Music Merchants, but has evolved from a national entity representing the interests of music products retailers to an international association including both commercial, retail members and affiliates. Therefore, the long form of the name is no longer used, and it is simply known as NAMM.
