Cmj music marathon, ny oct 18,07

well, everything is possible, at first i thought why not submit, i did, than came the positive answer.
now we have a problem, how are we going to make it work.
you have to find yourself a club that participates that will accept your band,
you have to find a concert promoter to work all small details. Cmj are not providing this service.
after you need the money to support aitfares, accomodation, bacline rental and more.

looks like missiojn impossible.
than you meet with the angels, people who care for artists for taking the road of being an artist.
Joey Low of Israel at Heart provided accomodation and big part of the airfares, the israeli consulate in NYC, the cultural attache Yoram Morad contributed another part for the airfares.
Brice Rosenblum took the role of concert promoter that will earn zero dollars for his work.
michael Dorf provided a date with Tea Packs with a fee to cover the reminder of the expenses.
the rest we can really manage and pay ourselves.
what can i say...no words..wonderful people allow wonderful music to gain momentum.
Izabo won the CMJ Spotlight by Soncbids and CMJ, they also won the price for international band.

showcase was wonderful with some very important people including Cheryl Waters of KEXP and legendary producer Mike Hedges,
