Earlier this month, Last.fm launched its own HD radio stations in four different cities. Now, the CBS-owned company’s plan to expand beyond online music programming includes video too.
According to Music Week, the company will launch Last.TV to online and offline airwaves starting in January and will initially include content from music festivals in Europe, “either through building bespoke events or partnering with existing festivals.”
Im sure that Last.tv will be music orientated programming, maybe even in a similar way to what MTV used to be! Last.fm has already got a very strong position in the online music space and this added with CBS will easily allow Last.tv to get the content deals required.
Spotify seems to always be in the press and this was very surprising at the start because they have actually spent less than £5000 so far on marketing in the UK. However, Spotify has now just released their first TV advertisement which is currently airing on Kanal 5 in Sweden.
If RouteNote artists haven’t already noticed we have partnered with Spotify, so if you want to get your music into this fast rising service then head to your user control panel.
Coke first previewed a new album during Midem in January which collaborates members from Gnarls Barkley, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco and Gym Class Heroes. Now Coke has properly debuted tracks in TV ads, while also being heavily promoted online and sold through iTunes.
Andrew Bate can’t bear being compared to Jeff Buckley. It’s a huge endorsement of his musical, lyrical and performing abilities that he hears the reference so often, but the work, talent and feeling that go into his songs and shows are borrowed from no-one.
Andy is currently working in the theatre, writing and arranging dramatic scores at the same time as developing his career as a performing artist. Hopefully he’ll treat us all to an album soon, but until then you can find more of his music on his myspace page or through iTunes.
Here at RouteNote we are trying to help artists get noticed in the big wide world that is music on the internet. Currently, the state of music online is a little all over the place. There are music stores appearing everyday and even more music communities opening up. Here at RouteNote we want to help our artists standout and we have started RouteNote TV to do this. RouteNote TV will be showcasing a live performance every month from one of our artists and placing their recordings onto our site.
The first artists on RouteNote TV is Ryan Jones. If you would like to be featured on RNTV and you are already using RouteNote, then please drop us an email with details about yourself or band, as well as your RouteNote username.
