Are my services still needed as it looks to have already been sent to JJJ, RRR and PBS are already on board courtesy of Alex Beatski ????

I guess not then ????

Post by **breaksRbest** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 7:00 pm

just send the information to anyone you can anyway, it won't hurt them to receive it twice.

There's no listing of beat.aid up on here yet. Just checked and wondered if anyone ended up emailing The Age? If not, happy to do so.

knock yourself out witty

Post by **breaksRbest** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 9:52 am

If anyone has any contacts anywhere, they should just send the press release anyway.

just in case they didn't receive it. and it can't hurt for them to receive it more than once.

:wink:

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:37 am

if someone could email me the media release and maybe a PDF (not that i even know what that is :oops:

) that'd be superb. cheers!

This CD will cost $10 and will only be available for purchase at beat.aid, with all money going towards the appeal, so donâ€™t miss out.

http://theage.com.au/news/Asia-tsunami/ ... 15378.html

we're on! no mention of who's playing though

looks like there's another thing on the same night at club evolution...

Music benefit
Club Evolution at 138 Commercial Road Prahran is hosting a benefit on Friday, January 14 that will include performances of some Melbourne DJs including Arlen De Silva, CraigG, Petere Mac, Damo and more. Live performance by Cheyne Coates playing tracks from her new album. The $20 door charge and 30 per cent of the bar take will go directly to Oxfam Community Aid Abroad.

mkultra · Post by **mkultra** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:05 pm

fucken....

Dance event
A collective of dance dj's/acts, promoters and the wider Melbourne dance music community have joined forces to stage an event called beat.aid on January 14 at the Prince of Wales Bandroom from 9pm. An exclusive beat.aid CD will be available for $10 and entry will cost $20.

quite shitty about it actually...no mention of who the money's going to, dj's etc. sent them the press release...looks like they had a jolly old time editting the main bits of info from it.

oh well...bit of exposure i guess.

shepherd · Post by **shepherd** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:19 pm

i don't think you can get shitty at FREE editorial witty ...

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:23 pm

not shitty as such shepherd...just more disappointed in that the piece for club evolution has a lot more detail. just wouldhave thought the same would apply.

but like i did say in my earlier post...it's all about exposure.

shepherd · Post by **shepherd** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 1:28 pm

evolution may be advertising generally or may have advertised in the past.

remember tho - an event like that one isn't going to get any specialist press like itm/RRR etc etc

mkultra · Post by **mkultra** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 3:54 pm

just got word from Cyclone @ HWT....

"Hey dude

We're definitely running something for this. I am chasing up a pic as I
write. We'll make it the feature item. It's been gratifying to see the dance
community rally behind something."

wickid stuff....

eskay · Post by **eskay** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 3:58 pm
