Filed in: Indie Advice

I had a conversation with someone this morning about how to create successful viral vidoes for your band, so I figured I might as well share my thougths with everyone on The Bleeder Blog since it's something that most artists can improve upon.
In a world of expensive marketing and promotion campaigns, creating online video content for your band is a no brainer. It's inexpensive, quick and easy, and more often than not it leads to a source of discovery for new fans.

Filed in: Featured Artist

Black Hat Villain have just posted seven new live performance videos from their recent show at Sugar Nightclub in Victoria, BC on Scott Valentine's Vimeo site.
You can check out the videos at this location:
http://vimeo.com/scottvalentine/videos
...or view the videos below, after the jump.
Black Hat Villain are currently in the studio recording their debut EP with new vocalist Scott Valentine. Yes, that's the same Scott Valentine who we talk about frequently on this site, the singer/songwriter who has released the epic 5-disc masterpiece, Seasons. Valentine's solo project differs considerably from his work with Black Hat Villain, they showcase two very different sides to a diverse musical mind.
The MySpace site for Black Hat Villain currently features recordings with their former vocalist, so for the time being these new videos are the only place where you can get a taste of what's to come from this exciting five piece.

Video: Death of The Rock Critic?
Jun1809:33 AM
Filed in: Opinion

This is a must-see, hilarious video taken from the 140 Characters Conference of speaker Christopher R. Weingarten, music critic for Rolling Stone and Idolator. His topic is how music blogs and Twitter have killed the music critic, and in its wake, 'good' music itself. This is an incredibly witty and insightful presentation that I'm sure everyone will get a kick out of, and hopefully create some conversation on this blog in the process.
Christopher R. Weingarten has also launched a new Twitter profile @1000TimesYes, where he's doing 1000 micro-music reviews in one year. He's currently at #408, it's a cool concept.
