: I have been notified that promotional materials (cards) are ready for DB & the NFU. If you would be interested in distributing them at any of the following, please let me know at [email protected] and I'll see if I can get them to you. This is what is known as working a competitive show. Competitive shows is a term used to describe performances and shows that are not by the artist that you are working, but are by an artist who could have a potential fan base similar to the band that you are working...

I think the world of your idea of getting The NFU all the exposure as possible. I live in Vancouver,Canada and I've been calling and e-mailing radio station playlist directors from here to Portland,OR. to spread the word about the mini tour and new CD.I'm afraid I disagree with you about Ticketmaster buying Sheryl Crow fans as a conduit to David. She in my opinion is now purely another corporate pawn with each of her releases getting more commercial."Soak Up The Sun"
is absolute radio fodder. At one time Ms.Crow didn't fit this description,but her artistic muse seems to be waning since "The Globe Sessions"

The other artists you mention,Ben Folds, Chris Isaak,and Elvis Costello seem to fit the role much better (even if Ticketmaster is involved)I will gladly support the cause as I will be attending the Chris Isaak shows in Seattle, and just saw Elvis Costello 2 weeks ago. Feel free to e-mail me (If I haven't pissed you off ;) and I'll try to get the info to the masses in the Pacific Northwest.
