RockOn+Team2

Rock and roll started and evolved in the United States of America in the late 1940's and early 1950's, it is a combination of blues, country and gospel. The genre did not get its name until the 1950's when DJ Alan Freed used the phrase 'Rock and Roll' to describe the music he was playing. The rock genre branches out into many different subgenres that either change the sound to a softer more relaxed sound or a hardcore type sound. From the start of rock-n-roll to present day, there have been many bands that have changed the face and sound of music. Beginning with Elvis Presley in the 1950's to The Beatles of the 1960's, and present day bands like Coldplay, Linkin' Park and Green Day, the sound of rock has greatly evolved. There are many ways that rock bands market themselves and in this day of age most bands use websites such as myspace, radio stations, and their own sites to advertise themselves. They also appear on different TV shows, radio programs, and create ads and flyers. A lot of the big bands play at stadiums and arenas infront of big crowds.

Our band name is __Broken Chatter__. The type of music that our band plays is rock and pop rock. The members of our group are Judy Minaj, Dela-Dela, and Ron-Man. Judy Minaj plays the lead guitar, Dela-Dela is the lead singer and plays the bass guitar, and Ron-Man plays the drums. Broken Chatter is yet to release an album, they stepped into the scene with their first single "Take Me Away" in 2009. "Take Me Away" topped the BillBoard charts hitting the #1 spot and keeping it for 5 weeks. The band has been working hard to produce their first and highly anticipated album "Garden of Eden" that is expected to be released September 1, 2010. Our band has a story fit for a movie screen, we began as three average teens just playing instruments in our garage and have now climbed to the top of the music industry. As we began practicing and writing our own songs we signed up for different competitions and gigs around our neighborhood, the people seemed to like our material and we quickly began to get the support of our community. In 2006 we received word of an exhibition contest hosted by PEPSI for amature bands to display their talent, one application and $200 dollars later we were signed up for our first big concert. At the PEPSI exhibition we played "Dream" one of our neighborhoods favorite song and the audience loved it! As soon as we got off stage countless men in business suits approached us and gave us their business cards, during that same week our phone rang off the hook. A man by the name of Tommy Mottola grabbed our attention with his business offers and promises for the future, along with the guidance of our parents and the help of our agent Kyle Johnson we signed with Sony Records within the month. Tommy did not want us working on an album just yet, he sent us on tour with Nickleback in 2007 and we opened for all their shows and slowly but surely our name got out and fans wanted more of us. For all of 2008 we began working on our first album but still performed in different venues.

The ticket price for our shows will remain the same city to city, our cheapest ticket will be $20.00 and our most expensive tickets will be $100.00, it will all depend on how close you would like to be to the stage. Our broad price range was decided upon to make our concerts accesible to everyone, yet if you want to have that V.I.P feeling you can also find that.
