After the success of the first ever FULL METAL TEXAS this past March in Austin, we are coming back bigger and better for 2010. BMC and Yeah! Management will be throwing Full Metal Texas 2010 on Thursday, March 18th for a day party at Emo's. And by Emo's we are talking the mainstage, Emo's Jr and possibly a third stage as well! Check out more information and photos from 2009 here: http://www.fullmetaltexas.com/
After spending 2009 touring the world and sharing the stage with bands like Nine Inch Nails, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN have entered the studio with Steve Evetts to record their next record, Option Paralysis. The record will be coming out in Spring 2010 on their own Party Smasher Inc label in conjunction with Season Of Mist Records. BMC is spearheading the campaign, so please reach out to get involved in one of the most anticipated metal albums of 2010. http://www.myspace.com/dillingerescapeplan
This November (the 10th in the US and the 2nd rest of the world) brings the new record from KATATONIA entitled Night Is The New Day. BMC will be handling online and digital marketing for the release setting up contests, exclusives and more. A continuation of the heaviness, depth & atmosphere of their previous album, ‘Night Is the New Day’ is also a more multi-dimensional effort - waltzing between prog moments, doom, folk & the classic melodic anthems that are the staple of Katatonia’s uncompromising sound, completed by the haunting tones of Jonas Renkse’s vocal journeys of urban & emotional decay. Check out http://www.katatonia.com for more for the latest news and tour information. And look for the launch of the album microsite next week!
BMC is working with BLUEHAZE to bring your bands a great marketing opportunity - FREE IPHONE APPS. BlueHaze has put together a great program where the App is built for free in exchange for sharing of revenue from advertising or sales of the App. It is the best mobile marketing tool to connect your fans to the latest tour dates, album releases, news and more.

One of the best music organizations for the independent music world is A2IM, the American Association Of Independent Music. Whether it is lobbying for the rights of the independent artist, or throwing events at CMJ and MIDEM that gives people the opportunity to reach thousands of execs at once. If you are interested in getting involved as a partner in their events or even becoming an associate member, please contact me and check out http://www.a2im.org
Only in it's second year of existence, ROYAL FAMILY CLOTHING is already being seen on bands such as Coheed And Cambria, A Day To Remember and VersaEmerge. Whether it is their limited-edition band shirts, or their amazing line of clothing, RFC is showing up at music and fashion events everywhere. Please hit me up if you are interested in finding out more about their clothing and events (including a BIG holiday show this December in South Florida). http://www.areyouroyalty.com
BMC was recently featured on MUSICIANCOACHING.COM, a new venture from music industry exec, Rick Goetz. We talked all things marketing, touring and how to reach out to your fans. Check out the interview here: http://tinyurl.com/mbtgoh
For all the brands and agencies out there, BMC is focused on putting together the best partnerships and sponsorships for music tours, events and releases. After attending the Billboard Music & Advertising Conference back in June, we noticed that the world of rock and heavy metal is not being utilized as a source for great long-term partnerships. Our goal in 2010 is to be that source for brands and agencies, so keep BMC in the front of your mind if you are looking to target various demos with some of the most loyal fans around.
