Music by THE SLIGHTLYS “Mask of Lies”
This fairy is “sky high” (wings help!) after the warm reception by our readers
for the inaugural June Issue—only to be surpassed by the ripple made in the
publishing pond by our July edition. Thank you to our growing readership and
the talented artists we have featured that make our articles so compelling.
Our featured band for August is ANOTHER LOST YEAR. ION Indie Magazine’s
own JP RAWK (JERE PERRY) hits us between the eyes with his in depth
interview with ALY’s CLINTON CUNANAN. I’m confident you’ll find it both
informative and entertaining!
ION was on hand to join in the festivities at the TEMPE CENTER FOR THE ARTS for the EPIC MUSIC STORE
ANNIVERSARY SHOW. Managing Editor/Photojournalist JB BRIDGES and I took in the “Epic Music Store
Anniversary Show”…and what a night it was! Four talented
Metal/Rock bands (DEATH AWAITS, JERRY ROBISON PROJECT,
TRICUS and ST. MADNESS) took the stage and treated us to a party
in our ears! Two music students of our host GEORGE CONTRERAS
were also given their moment to shine while joining the band
TRICUS on stage. I am pictured at left with 12 year old LIZETTE
BLANCAS--a young shredder on the rise! Read all about this EPIC
extravaganza in this issue!
We are delighted to report that many of the artists we have featured
are now receiving airplay after being added to the rotations of our
broadcast affiliates worldwide! This is especially rewarding—as it
is in keeping with our vision to get Indie music both read about and
HEARD! A big FRM “Thank you!” and “two wings up” to our
broadcast affiliates for making dreams come true for our artists!
And, as always…kudos to our amazingly talented writers, without
whom, none of this would be possible!
We are grateful to our promotional partners that support our initiative, and we are proud to welcome some
new members of the ION family: TBAIMS, THE FYRE AND ICE SHOW and LOCAL TALENT CONNECT. Also, we
are now promotionally partnered with an obscure little entity by the name of REVERBNATION! ReverbNation
artists can now submit for consideration to ION Indie Magazine through the RN site. Each month, one RN
artist will be selected for valuable media coverage in our publication. Thank you to LOU PLAIA for the
opportunity…we look forward to working together supporting independent artists worldwide!
