Company Press Release
Ladies and Gentlemen, The E-Mail Please: ARTISTdirect Network
Announces the First Annual ARTISTdirect Online Music Awards
Oct. 7 Event to Honor Bands, Musicians and Web sites Selected by
ARTISTdirect.com Users
ENCINO, Calif.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Aug. 18, 1999-- ARTISTdirect
Wednesday announced the First Annual ARTISTdirect Online Music Awards.
Set to take place Oct. 7 at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, the
ARTISTdirect Online Music Awards will offer recognition to artists,
bands and Web sites based entirely on fan input.
``ARTISTdirect has always been about connecting the fans directly to
their favorite artists, so we approached The ARTISTdirect Online Music
Awards from that perspective,'' said Steve Rennie, president of
UBL.com, a part of the ARTISTdirect Network (www.artistdirect.com).
``We wanted our fans to select the nominees and winners, and we wanted
the Awards to reflect the collective spirit of our audience.''
The nominees in each category were chosen from the UBL Top 100, weekly
calculation of the most visited sites on UBL.com, a leader in the
music space. Awards will be handed out in 15 categories, from Best Hip
Hop Fansite to Favorite Classic Rock Artist, in addition to
performances by several multiplatinum artists to celebrate the event,
The ARTISTdirect Online Music Awards will feature performances by the
five winners of the ``Born On The World Wide Web'' contest, the
Internet's first multigenre virtual talent search. Since its launch in
July, more than 1,200 artists have submitted their music to the
contest. The finalists from ``Born On The World Wide Web,'' who were
initially selected by a panel of industry tastemakers, will move on to
the last round of the competition. Again, it's up to the fans: the
final voting will be undertaken entirely by users of the ARTISTdirect
Network.
