DMB 2005 Summer Tour Opening Acts Summary

[Rob]

Project: Write up information on the opening acts for the 2005 tour.
Deadline: Saturday, April 9th.
Eligibility: Must have 25 posts to participate.

The info needs to be styled similar to how we did it previously. Have a look at last year's opening act pages (1, 2).

What you can do:

• Write up a summary of the band i.e.

Galactic is Robert Mercurio, Jeff Raines, Stanton Moore, Ben Ellman, Rich Vogel and Theryl "Houseman" DeClouet. A self-proclaimed jazz-funk-rock fusion, the band has now released six studio albums since the early 90's and toured extensively throughout... (see full summary)

Summaries must be your own origional writing and can not be copy-pasted from somewhere else.

• Pick an image image or two to go with the summary.
• Collect a few mp3 clips (must be 10 seconds or less, unless the band has full songs up for download)
• Any other information / media you think fans would want to know about the opener for their show

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Please post which opening acts you are interested in covering in this thread (two per person max) Don't post your email address, we'll PM you.
2. You will be given a password to a "Projects In Progress" forum where you can work on your summary, upload your images and your mp3's and interact with other writers on this project.
