Some random quotes from the jury about the winning track:
“The guitar riffs are great, reminds of Foals. Nice and tight.”
“A great potential player, I’d say.”
“Spring Break is a remarkably confident, often troubling debut that excels at both forward-thinking and good old-fashioned music.”

Thounds at MIDEM 2010
January 22nd, 2010
Thounds

midem-collage-474

Thounds is only four months old and already showing at MIDEM, our agendas are getting busy with interesting meetings and conferences to follow, and be sure you are going to read lots from us through the next days.

MIDEM is the the largest music convention in Europe (some might say on the Planet) with nearly 10,000 partecipants from 4,000 companies gathered in the Palais de Festivals in Cannes, France from Saturday 23rd to Wednesday 27th January.

Who’s attending the show? Probably everyone in the music industry, record labels, promoters, licensing companies, artists, managers, social networks, content aggregators, music journalists, etc

During the exhibition, not only we will introduce our web platform (and new mobile application) but also we are joining forces with SplitGigs, a new start up that helps bands to swap live slots.

Come and find us all at the OpenSpace pavillion, pod no. 34!

Hallo and happy New Year thounders!

We are back on track and have great news for you: Thounds is attending MIDEM, the European’s leading music show in Cannes (France) and want to showcase the best recordings we have collected so far.

If you like the idea of being played to a potential crowd of label managers, record labels officers, PR people, distributors, etc don’t wait any more and start a thound or collaborate on an existent one.

Tip: make your thound public (go to “library > edit info”) and share its link with a comment below so other users can play along with it.

MIDEM 2010 http://www.midem.com/ Sun 24th to Thurs 28th January 2010
