What's New...
Origivation Magazine will be moving it's Unplugged Music Series to World Cafe Live starting June 24! Check back for updates and information!
Due to the volume of music we receive, bands will need to print out, fill in and mail a Band Review Form with at least one copy of their latest release. Please note that only Mastered albums will be considered for review. You should also send us a short bio and
a Photo, traditional (8x10) or digital (300dpi). Present your work nicely (don't submit a hand-written CD-R wrapped in a sheet of dirty, ripped old paper). If you can't take your work seriously, neither will we!
We appreciate any help in promoting our magazine. If you would like to show your support for original music and Origivation, please add the banner shown below to your myspace or website by copying and pasting the following code:
We hope we see you at Howler's Coyote Cafe on Liberty Ave. this Wednesday, July 8th, at 8pm when we open for the upcoming touring band from New York, Against The Wall!
Please come out and show your support for local original music! 21+ so bring your ID!
Hey, hope you are well. We’re looking for some helpful feedback. On
iTunes, Chemistar’s “Virtual Girl” is their most downloaded song.
“Ocean Eyes” is a close second but the songs are WILDLY different from
each other. Which one do you like better and why?! You can hear both
songs on our page. Drop us a comment and thanks for the opinion. Cheers*
So... diggs it, whenever you get time... there's a blog here [entitled "Well well well...] that could use your checkin' out and input. even if that input is your middle finger. if its some sort of mold, then i'm skeptical, but middle fingers are ok. tell your frineds. and their middle fingers.
So for anyone that is close enough to make it out, we're playing this Thursday the 28th at Andy's Bar in Denton, Tx around 9pm and would love to see you out there!
It should be an awesome show, doors open at 9 and 18+ are welcome to come hang out as we tear that place to the ground!!
If you need directions or anything just hit me up with a message on here and I'll get them to you asap; really hope to see you there!!
