Dear MySpace,
As our debut album nears completion (I swear son!) and things are starting to fall in place, we're looking to develop a Spit Syndicate Street Team – a group of dedicated, passionate Spit Syndicate/Aussie Hip-Hop fans and supporters across Australia who want to help us spread our music and message (message? wankers.), in return for a number of exclusive giveaways and opportunities. Being part of the Spit Syndicate Street Team means that you help promote Spit Syndicate in a number of ways, for example:
- Decorating your neighbourhood/school/etc with various Spit Syndicate posters and stickers (which we will mail to you).
- Handing out fliers in your local area for Spit Syndicate shows and releases.
- Requesting (repeatedly, hopefully) Spit Syndicate music and videos on both local and national radio stations and video channels.
- Decking out your MySpace/Facebook with Spit Syndicate music/pics/videos.
There are others, but that is the general gist. It involves a little bit of effort on your part, although it's nothing too exhausting, to help us spread our music as widely as possible. In return for their efforts, Spit Syndicate Street Team members will receive a whole heap of free and exclusive music, merchandise and opportunities – that are only available for the street team. A number of examples are:
- Signed CD and Poster giveaways.
- Access to Exclusive music long before the general public hears them.
- Free Spit Syndicate merchandise (t-shirts, hoodies, hats, etc)
- Free entry to Spit Syndicate shows in your city.
Again, there are stacks of other opportunities and giveaways for Street Team members – this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Basically, this is a call out to anyone out there that considers themselves a dedicated Spit Syndicate/Australian Hip-Hop/Music fan. It's an opportunity to connect with Spit Syndicate on a level that others can't. We're at the very beginning of pushing our music and definitely have a long way to go, and becoming part of the Spit Syndicate Street Team is a dope opportunity to become involved from the very beginning.
Your help would be very much appreciated, and it will most definitely not go unrewarded.
If any of this interests you, or you have any questions or anything like that, please send an email to spitsyndicatestreetteam@hotmail.com . If you would like to become part of the Spit Syndicate Street Team, please send an email with your full name, your city/town and a little rundown on why you'd like to be a member of the Spit Syndicate Street Team.
In other news, we've posted a new track of ours, taken off the Ground Up Mixtape - "Throw Some Deez" done in true Ashfield style. You already know. We recently appeared on MTV's "The Lair" - footage is in the process of being uploaded; stay tuned for that shit. We recently went down to Melbourne for a show and to hear how some of our songs are sounding - we had a ball, Melbourne is one of the illest cities I've ever been too. Big shout outs to everyone that looked after us down there: Steve Duck (roll it, son), Flago, M-Phazes, Jase, Illy (check him out, he BEEN doing his thing and is on some shit), Justice & Kaos (sickcunts) and all the rest.
We've also been nominated for the Unsigned Artist Award at the Urban Music Awards, which is decided by a closed industry vote. That goes down on August 14th.
These blogs somehow turn into fucking essays everytime I go to write one.
Until next time, stay bossy. Towards the Light coming soon.
Nick
