Well, it's been quite a year since last years guinness book of records for the most bands playing in New Mexico in a two day period at Hyperfest last year. 230 bands. As hetic as it was, it was a lot of fun. Since then, a lot of bands have found some success, the biggest story the Flobots who got signed to Universal, and all over the radio with their hit Handlebars. Tickle Me Pink got signed to Wind-up Records. The Maine got signed to Fearless, The Attorneys turned into Flying Machines and got signed to Yahoo Records, which kicked off at the fest, Green River Ordinance got signed to Capitol Records, Dusty Rhodes And The River Band to Side One Dummy, Girl In A Coma to Blackheart Records and touring like mad with Tegan And Sara, and of course our own BrokenNcyde, Getting 5000 hits a day on Myspace and on TRL this Thursday, go boys. If I am forgetting any other success stories let us know. Hyperfest is happening Aug 21-23, it will be smaller this year due to losing venues, but the bands will still rock with a big showing for NM bands, and the panels will be top notch with speakers from MTV, Warner, Red Gorilla, SESAC, Sony, Fox Films, Vervelife, Gogirls and many more. VIP party at the Launchpad this year Aug 21, stay tuned for more.
