USN2K12 UP & COMING ARTISTS!

One of the coolest things about doing Unsilent Night has always been reuniting acts that I love to play one last show. Terminal and As Cities Burn reunions were literally priceless to me. The other cool thing about Unsilent Night though, is and always will be, introducing brand new bands to the music scene. In the past we have brought bands to Texas for the first time like Breathe Carolina, The Medic Droid, The Word Alive, and tons more. That being said, we are starting our 2012 promotion for Unsilent Night a little backwards. We want to put a heavy focus on up and coming artists that deserve some extra love. These are not necessarily brand new artists, but they are definitely “Up & Coming” artists that deserve more attention. Today at 5pm we announced the first few artists for Unsilent Night 2012. Below is a list and a little bit of information about them. Please check out these artists, get familiar, and hold yourself over with some new music before we get to the headliners :)

The “6000” Contest

All of my Twitter followers in the past have had the chance to win concert tickets and other cool stuff. They’ve always gotten the word out and increased my follower count. As I am approaching 6,000 followers, I want to do a bigger contest. Sort of a “thanks” to everyone that follows me and finds me even remotely interesting.

The contest is simple, however you have too, get me to 6,000 followers on Twitter.

If you post on Twitter, you get a point. If you post on Facebook, you get another point. If you post on MySpace, you get another point. If you post on Tumblr, you get another point. If you post on YouTube, you get 2 more points (videos aren’t easy to make).

That means you can get entered up to SIX times.

All you have to do is creatively convince your friends to follow me.

When I get to 6,000 followers I will pick a winner from all entries to receive a $100 iTunes gift card and 2 tickets to Unsilent Night. So even if you don’t care for Unsilent Night, you still have $100 to spend on your favorite iTunes movies or music.

This is not a scam. Get me to 6,000 followers and I’ll pick a winner.

Once you enter, send me links to your Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, and/or Tumblr to show proof! Mike@mikeziemer.com
