Hey Everyone!!

We’ve already had 2 awesome PartyLines this week, and we have more to come!!

Monday we had crazy metal band, Antagonist, rockin’ out and playing their awesome music! Last night we had The Access, a Christian Rock band that has been topping our charts for months. They streamed their new album, which released yesterday on Itunes! So congratulations to them!

Thanks to everyone who came out and please check the PartyLine Central Profile to see our upcoming PartyLines…. http://www.ourstage.com/profile/partylinecentral

Tonight we have an awesome band, Holiday Parade, who just did a show with us in Chicago! This one should be big, so don’t miss out!! They’ll be giving tour updates and sharing some new video footage. check them out at http://www.ourstage.com/fanclub/holidayparade

Tomorrow, at 1pm EST, we have one crazy cool band that I first saw when I went to see Toby Lightman in concert last summer. They are called Sons of William, and they were opening for Toby that night! I loved them so much, I bought both of their EP’s! They have a new album out now, and are actually in NYC TONIGHT playing a show. They are new to ourstage, so come show your support by hanging out with them and hearing their new tunes :) http://www.ourstage.com/fanclub/sonsofwilliam

Finally, on Friday, we have a great band called The Scenic! You can find them in the Alt. Rock and Indie Rock channels this month, so if you see them, give them your vote! Personally, I’m excited, because I don’t really know their music yet, so it will be fun to hear it for the first time WHILE chatting with them!!! Could we OurStagers get any luckier? I feel cool just THINKING about discovering new music, let alone hearing them in real time and meeting the band! http://www.ourstage.com/fanclub/thescenic

So show your support this week guys! Crash our PartyLines :)

I just sent my 1,000th official OurStage email as an employee of OurStage.com! I’m not usually one to brag, but for some reason I noticed as I was sending it, and I see nothing wrong with a small celebration (maybe a few “hip hip hoorays” or something!)

Now that’s a lot of emails…

BUT WE WEREN’T!!

Well, we THOUGHT we were, but we experienced some craziness during PartyLine Palooza yesterday!! When NeverShoutNever! signed on at 4pm EST to chat with his fans and share some exclusive music, PARTYLINE ACTUALLY CRASHED. We had over 2,000 fans waiting for PartyLine to load, but it was so overwhelmed with traffic that some fans couldn’t get on, fans that could get on couldn’t send messages, and Christofer Drew was lost somewhere in cyber space! Luckily everyone could hear the music though :)

It was a semi-disaster at the office, but we decided to take advantage of the situation, and we are creating shirts that say “I Crashed NeverShoutNever!’s OurStage PartyLine!” for the first 1,000 fans that send us an email. A bit hilarious…

So that’s the big news at OS this week, but PartyLine Palooza is not over!!!

There is still more coming…

Don’t forget tonight we have our first METAL LISTENING PARTY! Personally, I am excited to rock out tonight at 8pm in my PJ’s – so please come because this band (Divination!) is great, and they will be so much fun!! And tomorrow we’ve got The Northstar Session at 8pm EST, and they will be playing some new music and topping off our PartyLine Palooza!! Will also be a blast :)

So come support our last 2 bands, and thank you for everyone who has participated in the PartyLines this week – it has definitely been a wild ride!!

You should probably check out NeverShoutNever at http://www.ourstage.com/fanclub/nevershoutnever

…Clearly he’s got somethin’ goin’ on!

Love you, OurStage fam!!

peace, love, rock n roll
