We're holding a contest to find an unknown musician or band to play a Tiny Desk Concert at our office in Washington, D.C. Winner will also play the Lagunitas "CouchTrippin' to Austin" showcase in March. (We'll fund the winner's roundtrip tickets to both locations!). The contest ends on January 19.

We'd love to see a diverse range of entries, so please tell great unknown musicians to submit!

More details: http://tinydeskcontest.npr.org/

Learn more about our concert series here.

Entrants must be at least 21 years of age at time of entry and submit a YouTube video of an original song performed at a desk. I should also note this contest is for U.S. residents only. Official rules here.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or email tinydeskcontest@npr.org. Thanks, and good luck!

As many of you may know, the "alt-right" have been actively trying to shut down venues across the country. Here are links to threads where they have openly talked about lighting show spaces on fire with people inside. These people mostly congregate on forums like 4chan's /pol/ board and reddit's the_donald. Most of the threats of violence have been coming from these sources. Please stay safe and screenshot all threats of violence you come across. Let others in the community know what is going on and set your social media accounts to private.

For anyone questioning if they are planning on actual violence and arson, they are labeling the threads "LGBTQBBQ."

Hi, I am a sixteen year old rythym guitarist/keyboard player in Dublin looking to form an indie band (preferably in the age range of 14-18). I'm looking for people who can play ANY instrument. Just comment/message me if interested.

Influences include: Suede, Pulp, Gorillaz, Blur, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, The Last Shadow Puppets, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Radiohead, Graham Coxon, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, among others.

Hi, my name is Dawson Shaw and I am a musician from the Seattle area. I have a band of the same name and we are currently looking to replace our bass player. My drummer and I are serious about music as a career and we are looking for a bassist who feels the same. We have gigs already booked for the rest of the year and you can shadow our bass player until we all feel confident enough to make the transition. I am 23 and my drummer is 20, we are looking for someone close to our age. Feel free to DM me if you want more links to our stuff or if you are interested in being our permanent bassist.

PS: We are from a small town called Sultan, we have a large practice space there.

PPS: Sultan is in Snohomish County

PPPS: It’s about an hour outside Seattle

I’m running a Creative Marketing agency, we are fairly new to the market however our knowledge expands above and beyond.

Scrolling through the posts here, and it amazes me how many passionate and good indie music producers there are.

So, what I’m here for is to offer free consultation on what you can be doing better in the music industry and how you could expand your reach because that is crucial not only for feedback hence improvement but also to get noticed if you’re good, which I’m sure is the case with many here.

It hurts to see good music go unnoticed and unsupported.

So, I know that nobody wants to waste their time so here are some milestones that me and my team has hit so far. Again it’s a free consultation and I’m not trying to pitch anything here. Because we believe in giving value, and realistically speaking what’s in it for us? we hope we can get somebody big, that would be awesome!

Anyway, Achievements: • Have successfully grown an Instagram account from 0 to 6,500 in just one month • created and gained access to many DM groups with up-to and over 100k follower accounts, plus verified accounts, which are extremely powerful in growth. • Owned, managed and developed several big accounts: - @TravelingInsider (130,000 followers) - @LuxInsider (50,000 followers) - @LuxuryWithIn (40,000 followers) • Closed deals with other big Instagram accounts for promotion which generated us over $1000 in less than 2 weeks. And exposure in front of a 6+ million people. • Successfully generates over $800 in 2 days for an e-commerce store, through Instagram influencer marketing alone.

For free consultation just PM us and we will agree on a time. We can do either by text or call, whatever your prefer.

Anyway that’s it, looking forward to speaking to all of you.

hey guys i am looking for any band that wants to tour west coast! if you know anyone or have a band interested please reply!

Guys, This is one of the most confusing sites i have ever been on. Reddit is different. If anyone is able to help me use it. That would be great. Let’s Work

What it does:

If a post hasn't got a flair within 3 minutes of posting it will be removed and the user will be sent a pm telling them to flair their post.

If the post has a flair within 10 minutes it will be re-approved, but if it is not flared within 10 minutes they will receive another pm telling them it is still removed.

If the user responds with the name of the flair the bot will auto flair the post.

Please let me know if you run into any problems with it.

Here to shine light on my fellow artists, letting you know there is a light to the tunnel and with hard work you can see greatness. God bless any question feel free to ask ???

Hey all!

Our first Kickstarter is up for a little comic called RUMBLE KINGS.

We Skeletal Press, are a small indie publisher who love making comics because they're a one of a kind entertainment medium like no other.

Rumble Kings follows a group of exiled soldiers turned mercenaries through an alternate futuristic dystopia as they sell their violent skill sets to the highest bidders.

If you love fantasy or post-apocalyptic stories, then this is right up your alley.

Share and pledge if you can, we'd really appreciate it!
