Country Town Collective is a collective of musicians based in Darwin, Australia, with band members based in both Darwin and Adelaide.

Plugged as everything from alt-folk and country to roots music, old school rock and roll, Beatles-esque and a lot in between the band has become a fixture in the local music scene in Darwin and plays regularly at local venues in Darwin and community events.

Along with other Darwin bands Country Town Collective coordinated Long Way To The Top End for the 2009 Adelaide Fringe, where 12 of Darwin's original bands took over the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Thebarton for 5 nights.

Country Town Collective's debut release 'Houses' was launched in 2009 and is getting airplay on community radio around the country, RRR, PBS and Plenty Valley FM in Melb, 4ZzZ in Brissie, FBi in Sydney, Radio Adelaide and Three D in Adelaide, Radio National plus our own ABC Darwin - AWESOME!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!!!!!

Country Town Collective's 'Houses' EP is available now!

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.

Here are some things you can do:



Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.



Publish artist interviews in English to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazineInterviewsEnglish , interviews in French to http://groups.myspace.com/InterviewsAvecCountryMusicStars and interviews in German to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryMusikInterviews . All these groups on MySpace are part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine.



Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka



Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.



If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Alice, it was pretty special walking into my favourite Adelaide pub and finding some of my dearest Darwin muso mates! I enjoyed the evening, particularly good to hear some of your songs again.
Sorry i only just found your comment, as i don't log into MySpace everyday! I will be approaching the Festival again to indicate my interest in returning, hope you get a gig, maybe we need more Music NT / Happy Yess nights on the main stage, wherever that may be!
love and hugs,
