OZZY OSBOURNE Bassist BLASKO To Emcee 'Indie Music Assault' Competition

January 13, 2009

OZZY OSBOURNE/ex-ROB ZOMBIE bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson will emcee the Indie Music Assault, a unique competition/showcase which will be presented through an elaborate multimedia marketing campaign.

For more than months, event organizers will be inviting ALL independent rock acts to register for Indie Music Assault. This campaign will be promoted virally through the use of a "Vote for our band Widget." All entries to the Indie Music Assault will be voted on by fans and the general public using a widget each band entrant will receive upon registration completion. As a contestant, you will use this widget to place on your web site, blogs, forums and social networks as a way to collect fan votes. Fans can use this widget to easily click and vote for your favorite band in this competition. The final decisions as reviewed by Black Mountain Productions A&R Department, will be made, based first upon the votes from fans and the general public as well as: originality, vocal talent, appearance and other professional ethics. They will then pick the Top 10 bands that have entered, based on the previously stated criteria. And those chosen Top 10 bands will be paid a gig fee for their performance in the competition.

A group of select celebrity and/or music industry judges will then select the winners out of the Top 10 at Paramount Studios on May 9, 2009. This event is also a showcase and there will be music industry professionals in the audience to review band performance and possibly offer additional career opportunities. The campaign will also include full-page ads in Skinnie entertainment magazine, e-blasts, MySpace promotions, street teaming, flyers, editorial and more. Advertisers/sponsors will be given the opportunity to brand their company/product throughout a multimedia campaign and on stage at the final battle showdown.
