The Disco Biscuits

Break out the sunscreen, glow sticks and canteen because you’re about to go on a magical electronic journey to upstate New York for Camp Bisco 8! Yes, it’s that time of year when electrorock pioneers, The Disco Biscuits, headline each night of their annual three day flagship festival. This summer, Camp Bisco is set to take place July 16th-18th, and will feature a diverse lineup including Damien Marley, Nas, STS9, Chromeo, Kid Cudi, Asher Roth, Flying Lotus, Pretty Lights, and fellow Philadelphians Dr. Dog. DJ’s from DFA records, such as members of LCD Soundsystem, will have your feet stomping the grounds of the Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville, NY long after the sun goes down.

The Disco Biscuits—with some help from OurStage—want to reward their biggest fan with a pair of tickets to Camp Bisco 8 along with an exclusive meet and greet with the band at the festival! No matter what crazy act of fandom you’ve committed in the name of The Disco Biscuits — attending each and every rock opera performance in person, blinding yourself while recreating their famous light show in your living room, walking half way across the country barefoot to attend Bisco Inferno—you now have the chance to let the band know you’re number one. If you think you’ve got what it takes to to win the title, follow these two, easy steps:

1. Register and fill out an OurStage fan profile, if you don’t already have one, by clicking here

2. Once you are registered, leave a comment for The Disco Biscuits on their OurStage page explaining why you’re their biggest fan. When your post is up, you’ll be automatically entered into the contest.

Please note multiple comments do not increase your chances of winning. So play nice and only post one time. The deadline to enter is July 3rd, 11:59 PM EST —all posts made after the deadline are ineligible. The winners will be selected by The Disco Biscuits and announced on July 6th. The winner will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the event.

Stay tuned to the OurStage Blog around festival time for exclusive Camp Bisco coverage!

Scissors For Lefty To Play Noise Pop 2009

Congratulations to Scissors for Lefty, the first band chosen to play Noise Pop 2009.

OurStage and Noise Pop have teamed up to give OurStage artists a chance to play at the 2009 Noise
Pop Festival. After quickly rising to the top of the Noise Pop channel, Scissors for Lefty were the first official act chosen by the Noise Pop programmers to play this years festival.

Scissors For Lefty

Scissors For Lefty

The San Francisco based quintet began in its earliest form in 2000 when brothers, Peter and James Krimmel joined up with Bryan Garza while attending college in San Luis Obispo, CA. In 2002 the band made the move from San Luis Obispo to San Francisco and added Bryan’s uncle Robby Garza into the mix. It wasn’t until 2006, when the band continued their family affair by adding Bryan’s brother Stevie on Bass, that the band reached it’s current form.

Their unique brand of Indie pop sounds something like if The Replacements got into Hot Fuss by The Killers. Not to sell them short, with influences ranging from Ace Freely to David Bowie, and from The
Beatles to Bjork there really is not telling where they’re drawing their inspiration from. Though one thing is for sure, whatever they are doing is working. Since cementing their line-up in 2006 the band
has taken off, playing shows with huge acts, including Panic at the Disco and The Arctic Monkeys, and as the first act announced to play Noise Pop 2009 the band shows no signs of slowing down.

If you’re an up-and-coming Hip-Hop or R&B artist looking for a big break, OurStage is bringing you the opportunity of a lifetime:  We’re giving one OurStage artist a recording session with Grammy winning, Platinum artist T-Pain.

That’s right.  T-Pain.

The man who serves up hits with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Ludacris with ease. The man releasing a new album, Thr33 Rings, next week.  The man capable of changing the direction of your career if you’re an aspiring Hip-Hop or R&B star.

In addition to the recording session, you’ll get a recording contract with Nappy Boy Digital to release the song.  And considering it’ll feature you and T-Pain, you know it’ll be a hit.

What do you have to do?  Just record yourself rapping or singing over the instrumental verses of his song Everybody Else (you can download that here).  Upload your version to the T-Pain channel.  Then, get your fans and friends to judge your song to the top.

It’s that easy.  So what are you waiting for.  Go to www.ourstage.com/go/tpain and get started!
