Re: INDEPENDENT MUSIC PROJECT - JOIN NOW!!!!!!
Hi,
My name is Claudia and I have my own radio music program at a local
station in my hometown (62 miles south of Amsterdam).
I am an enthusiastic music  fanatic and very much interested in the
independent music scene. I try to promote independent music when and
where I can.
In 1995 I, together with some radio friends, founded a small label to
be able to release some independent music.
RockRose was created for one reason only: to give real and honest
independent musicians the opportunity to put their music out there and
to let people enjoy this music. We focus on guitar orientated music:
folk,  (hard)rock, pop (punk), blues, acoustic etc). Good music needs
to be heard!  
Our new project is the IMP (INDEPENDENT MUSIC PROJECT). We are trying
to get other European radio stations and music lovers interested in
our project and participate. This is all non-profit and the more radio
stations join the cheaper the IMP cd wil be for everyone. Radio
stations that and others who have joined can also submit new
independent music for the next album. 
We want to have an album out every month with about 10-15 new
bands/artists, provided of course we have enough funding (members).
It will cost us about US$8500 to make 1000 cds (all in). Please
contact us if you know a company that can do it cheaper.
Independent musicians deserve more airplay and more publicity!!!!!
They don't deserve to be snowed under by musicians on the major labels
just because these major companies have more money!!!!!And the more
exposure independent musicians will get, the more people will get a
change to hear them and make their own decision about what to listen
to.
To introduce our project we have a sample copy (a double album)
available in June (see the track list at the end of this letter). For
US$10.00  it is yours (we have to ask this to cover our costs, this
includes cd-manufacturing, artwork and post & package).
Getting sample copy does not automatically mean you have joined our
project, you can decide later.  
The album is also available for anyone who wants it at cost price (as
long as stocks last).
If you want to join now, have questions/suggestions, or comments 
E-mail me at rockro 
s...@worldaccess.nl
Of course we hope many stations and music lovers will join our
INDEPENDENT MUSIC PROJECT and participate in promoting independent
music.
Peace,
Claudia Vaessen
