Can a Car Company like Mazda Predict that Floor Thirteen Will be the Next Big Rock Band to Break out of the North by Northeast Music Festival?
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) June 1, 2007 -- What does Mazda know that the record labels will soon find out? Can Mazda predict the next big band to come out of the NXNE New Music Festival? Mazda knows marketing and Mazda chose Floor Thirteen for their Campus Joyride video game. Floor Thirteen blasted out of virtual college car radios across the U.S. and Canada and Floor Thirteen will be the next band to make it big out of the NXNE festival.
In 2007, Mazda released a hot new video game and a truly amazing rock band to go with it. The sound blasted through the windows of virtual cars while young, itune-buying, video-game playing, social networking college students went on a campus joyride. The statement: College students demand excellence in everything: cars, music, and education.
Mazda wrote that Floor Thirteen is "a musical phenomenon that is changing the way the world hears rock music one fan at a time." Mazda's judges included Spin Magazine and Gillett Entertainment Group. Take a joyride with Floor Thirteen and check out their song Night Train at Mazda's www.campusjoyride.ca or check out Floor Thirteen live at Powerball on youtube.com.
Mazda is not alone in the growing number of venues seeking great independent music. Floor Thirteen's single "Bright Light Rockin'City" was picked up by the Sci-Fi network for the movie Grizzly Rage which is currently in production to be aired to millions this summer. In addition, Every Barnes and Noble store across the U.S., 800 stores in 50 states, carried Floor Thirteen's "Call Me What You Will" which was featured in No Cover Magazine and CD Compilation.
Sylvie Harris, President of Alpha Music Group, an Artist Development and Management Firm on Broadway, states that Mazda and Floor Thirteen are part of a trend sweeping the U.S. "With so many choices on the internet, independent bands are breaking out by connecting with corporate marketing teams and record labels are getting left behind. Companies looking to promote new products to young audiences don't have to look further than a hot new independent rock band. The synergy can be seen with Ford and American Idol and it won't stop anytime soon. Nothing turns heads and ears like a hot new rock band. An independent rock band can save corporations from the astronomical fees of established bands and the hassle of dealing with complicated contracts. An independent band can sell a product to -a young audience better than anyone. All it takes is a talented band with a great song and sex appeal. It's a win-win for everyone."
