TACO BELL® FEED THE BEAT™ READY TO ROCK & ROLL WITH 100 OF THE NATION’S HOTTEST UP-AND-COMING ROCK BANDS


Taco Bell Feeding Bands Free Fourthmeal While Out on the Road


IRVINE,CALIF., November 18, 2009 – Taco Bell® continues to Feed the Beat™ for up-and-coming rock acts and announced today the 100 bands that made the 2009 Feed the Beat lineup. Celebrating its fourth year, Feed the Beat provides free food and marketing support to America’s up-and-coming rock acts. This year, touring bands from across the nation, including The All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Forever The Sickest Kids, We The Kings, Atreyu, Owl City, Dr. Dog and more, will receive $500 in Taco Bell Bucks for free Fourthmeal, the late night meal between dinner and breakfast. More than just free food, bands also receive important marketing support for their music.


Music fans will be able to discover each Feed the Beat band on Taco Bell’s Virtual Music Festival Web site (www.feedthebeat.com) which showcases their music and exclusive content created for the site. Once there, fans can listen to bands they know or discover new tunes as they stream music via the Feed the Beat Music Player. If they discover a band they like and want to purchase music, they are directed to the band’s Web site where they can purchase the song.


Feed the Beat began as a simple way to show how much we love and support independent music, but it’s grown to become a benchmark for how Taco Bell supports bands and artists,” said David Ovens, Chief Marketing Officer, Taco Bell Corp. “Our Feed the Beat bands have been showcased via our partnerships with MTV and ESPN, as we work hard to highlight their talent and music. Whether helping to extend the spotlight on their nominations for Video Music Awards, getting them to play at the VMAs, or creating live concerts and soundtrack opportunities during the X Games, the work never stops in support of our bands. We want to help our 2009 lineup to realize at least the same type of success and hopefully more.”

2nd Annual Music Photography Seminar and Workshop with Jeremy Saffer to take place August 29th and 30th – Featuring Vanna and Antilove



Photographer Jeremy Saffer is set to run the 2nd annual music photography seminar in Western Mass on August 29th and 30th.



This will be a two day event, covering all aspects of the music photography business, concert photography, in studio, and on location band photo shoots, endorsement photos, lighting options, post production, as well as interactive and hands on photo shoots with both bands.



Special guest bands are Epitaph recording artists Vanna, and Western Massachusetts’ own AntiLove.



More information is available at www.jeremysaffer.com/workshop



The first seminar was one day, and took place in September 08 and featured Shai Hulud and Thy Will Be Done.



Photographer Jeremy Saffer released his first book of photography in April, Entitled 'Bring The Noise', the 120 page hardcover collection features 156 full color band images, all taken from Saffer's extensive career, shooting music's best and brightest. 'Bring The Noise' gathers a broad selection of artists, representing the varied spectrum of both the metal and hardcore scenes. Lacuna Coil, Bleeding Through, All That Remains, Dimmu Borgir, Bring Me The Horizon, Norma Jean, Earth Crisis, Behemoth and many more all make appearances within the pages of 'Bring The Noise', which also contain a number of never-before-seen images, exclusive to the book. “The word "talented" absolutely belongs to Mr. Saffer,” says Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil.

Jeremy Saffer is a longtime contributor to Outburn Magazine, Saffer is also the house photographer for the esteemed Worcester Palladium, as well as the official photographer of the venue's annual New England Metal And Hardcore Festival. The photographer has also worked with many respected underground record labels, including Century Media Records, Nuclear Blast, Victory Records, Trustkill, and Prosthetic Records, as well as ESP guitars, Draven shoes, and Peavey Electronics…all of whom have been impressed with Saffer's hard work, dedication, and talent.



"A lot of us take pictures, but Jeremy takes photographs,” enthuses David Ellefson, formerly of Megadeth. ” Even though his subjects are some of the biggest icons of rock who are worthy of a thousand words to tell their story, Jeremy says it all in one snap of shutter."
