Everyone, try and email bands about RBN...

[chris.cyre]

OK I admit I'm a noob to this but what is RBN exactly? I don't get the getting real bands involved part. I thought it would be people getting together and making tracks provided they had the know how in how to take an mp3 or music track and add the notes for each instrument etc.

Thanks

Thanks. Anxiously awaiting reply...

Me too, I hope they respond at least.. This local band I messaged read it but didnt respond =( Also AAF hasnt been on Myspace for a couple days according to their profile so it might be a while before they respond(if at all)

Oh no, it's much more than that. Bands take their master tracks and chart them using software Harmonix will provide as long as the bands pay the XNA Creators club fee of $99 a year. Then bands can upload their songs for approval. After approval, their songs then get released upon the RBN marketplace.

I got an email back from Oliver Wakeman. He said he'd tell Yes's management about it. Hooray

I posted a message on RaFans.com, Ra's Fansite. I didn't get a reply from a band member, but a member of their street team did say
"Just have that feeling that anything is possible. haha "

If you haven't heard them before, check 'em out. Lots of good stuff.

I'm going to contacting Paul Revere and the Raiders, the bass player is a friend of mine and we talk music all the time. I think they will be open to this but maybe I should have them contact HMX direct they have some classic hit songs

Ha, that is funny, my cousin's husband sings w/ them off and on. I should drop him a line.

Oh man, Elephant Six Collective being interested is great news. Everything that comes from them is pure gold.

I've contacted the band Johnny Foreigner. I know they're a UK band, but the person I contacted works for them in the States, so hopefully they can work something out if interested.

My re-post from another thread:

I recently contacted ZO2 (from IFC's show "Z Rock") & showed them the RBN & they replied & expressed interest saying they already signed up & will be posting songs as soon as it's ready.

If you haven't seen that show or heard their music, go check out both, fantastic heh.
