check out what is going on this summer in NYC and do your part to check the pretentious hipsters!
Technology is changing the game for promoters, too. Some festivals are communicating with ticket holders via text message, both at the event and beforehand, to announce secret shows, run contests and share schedule updates. The booking process has also evolved. Kevin Lyman, who created and continues to run the Vans Warped Tour, has found that artists who seemed obscure when he booked them often amass a sizable, Internet-based following by the time the tour kicks off. But because blog buzz can instantly rocket a band to the kind of fame that once required years of courting A&R reps and touring tirelessly to build up a fan base, it's also increased the pressure to find the next big thing and discard the last one. Now, promoters must be able to judge the staying power of the acts they choose, knowing that a band that's popular in the winter, when booking decisions are made, may be passé by summer. "Sometimes the buzz on the Internet is so big that it dies out by the time the festival hits," says Pitchfork Music Festival organizer Mike Reed. "Certain acts are pitched to us that would have made sense at the time, but that we didn't think had a shelf life until July."
This summer, as well as banking on bands' staying power, festival organizers must also contend with the recent economic downturn. And though conventional wisdom holds that entertainment and other luxury industries are the first to take a hit during a recession, promoters claim that ticket sales are as robust as ever. Over six weeks before the festival, Pitchfork has sold out of three-day passes, and fans of My Bloody Valentine snapped up the first round of All Tomorrowís Parties tickets (which bear the hefty price tag of $225) mere hours after they went on sale.
Check out the top live 7 performances of all time, and genius improvisations.

Volunteering Info.
In this internet age, the term "grass roots organizing" has taken on a much more of a powerful and cutting edge meaning. Through the internet as well as the effort of large numbers of like minded people, a tremendous amount can be accomplished. We have this in grass roots campaign organizing and Shimon Presents uses this toward creating a successful marketing strategy in the fast paced business of music. Shimon Presents uses the allure of the music industry as well as some free perks and incentives to motivate there massive database of dedicated fans. These fans put up posters, hand out flyers and inevitably complete successful marketing campaigns which has grown Shimon Presents client roster throughout the years. All through valuable "feet on the street" marketing with little cost to the company. The "street team" as they are reffed are fans of music who work diligently to promote these bands and document their efforts through photographing their work as they go along, Thus earning rewards ranging from CDS to passes to expensive week long festivals. In turn, Shimon Presents shows these pictures to clients as proof of their effectiveness. I have watched over the years as so many band sand event that Shimon Presents has been affiliated with has turned to gold and realize it is through their propper use of grass roots organizing as well as creative use of tools such as the internet, that they were able to accomplish so much. Shimon Presents has an extensive database where it tracks its volunteers, logs their work and also sends email update. Virtually all communication is done via email and through their online forms which allows them to manage large numbers of grass roots organizers and lightens the work load on the Shimon Presents office, by having the volunteers do much of the data entry themselves. In a world when innovative solutions are needed to adapt to the changing times Shimon Presents is a model of a successful marketing practice, that implements, grass roots organizing and internet web 2.0 technology.Line ups for Shimon Presents events include just about every major band popular right now, REM, The Beastie Boys, 311, The Roots, Snoop Dogg, MSTRKRFT, WideSpread Panic, Dave Mathews Band, Tori Amos ect. in addition to living legends such as James Brown, The Wailers and Taj Mahal.

2009 marks the 10th anniversary of Clean Vibes as its own company! As we celebrate a decade of event recycling, we have already been very busy gearing up for what appears to be the busiest Clean Vibes season to date. Lots of new festivals are making a commitment to reduce their footprint and want to work with us to ensure that they are walking the sustainable walk, not just talking the talk.
Some very exciting news for our 10th year as well – we have just launched our brand new and long overdue website!!! The site has been completely redesigned and has a long overdue update to all of the content of the site. So head on over to cleanvibes.com and check it out! Clean Vibes has come a long way in the last 10 years, and it is pretty amazing to see just how many events we have worked, and what an enormous impact our recycling efforts at all of these events have had on the Earth. Every single one of you that has worked or volunteered with us before should take great pride in all that the website, and the company as a whole, represents. We can’t wait to continue to help keep the scene clean and spread the clean vibe in 2009!
All that being said, we are now accepting applications for the 2009 season. The new applications can be downloaded from our website at:
http://cleanvibes.com/vibes_
Please be sure to read the descriptions of the positions carefully. Also, as always, all applicants have the option of submitting an audio version of the narrative section of the application in case you feel more comfortable speaking your answers than writing them.
