Fab Indie 148. More TEA Artist interviews and features in the coming weeks and months.
SRN REGIONAL VIEW - Since many indie artists don't have the time and/or resources to film their own music videos, we decided that it would fit the bill if we tried using TEA artists for an "indie local music video" series. Each video will feature a TEA artist's music, and views of York Region in interesting times (like spending a morning in Woodbridge's most dangerous 4-way intersection). We will be releasing more videos throughout the year and will continue if viewer response is positive.
SRN Film and Video Production - SRN will be working on a trailer for a video series they would like to produce in the far future: It's called "Unit 148" and this will feature TEA artists music; we will choose what's appropriate shortly before post-production.
Indietalent & SRN Mediaworks are interested in conducting radio interviews for TEA volume 10, 11 & 12 artists. This is a great opportunity to get interviewed and reviewed. It would involve radio airplay for a few of your songs along with a phone interview. Contact TEA South if interested.
