Silverchair Rewards their Fans
(Spinfax)
Some bands like to make sure that their big fans are the ones that get
the tickets to special events -- and silverchair is definitely one of
them. Tonight the Aussie trio will preview their second album, Freak
Show in front of an audience that includes 300 fans who got their
tickets because they're signed up for the silverchair e-mail
newsletter. They were sent a special message informing them of the date
and the location of the show and were able to buy tickets for the
bargain price of $12.50 each. If you're a big silverchair fan, you
should: a) sign up for the newsletter by going to www.chairpage.com,
the band's official website; and b) check out tonight's concert on the
Internet at the same address.
Sure, there have been plenty of concert cybercasts lately. But how many
bands have done a cybercast that previews stuff from their new album
TWO MONTHS before it's even out? Well, tonight you can hear silverchair
doing just that for their new album, Freak Show, due out Feb. 4th.
They'll be broadcasting from The Troubador in West Hollywood, where
they've been billed as "The George Costanza Trio" (George Costanza is
Jason Alexander's character on Seinfeld). You can tune in by going to
www.chairpage.com or www.silverchairnet.com. You'll need RealAudio for
the festivities, which start at 9pm PT. The chairpage address (which is
the band's new, official website) will also have the audio available
later for those who miss the live broadcast.
