Hello Talkbassists, I'm posting this in hopes that you can help us out. My band, The Ilk, is entered into a contest here in Detroit to open for The Barenaked Ladies in early August. We are one of 37 bands that were accepted into the contest, and the winner is chosen by popular vote. We have entered and original tune by our guitarist/vocalist called "Ann Arbor Girl". While most of our stuff tends to lean toward the rock side of pop, we chose this song because it has a bit of a folksy feel, which we figured BnL fans might like, while still being basically a pop tune. So I asked Major if it would be appropriate to post this and which forum would be best, and he suggested here. The link to the voting page is below, and you can listen to the song there. It will ask you for an e-mail address and password to submit a vote, but I have been assured that they don't retain this info beyond the contest, and it won't be used for solicitation of any kind (the contest is sponsored by our local FOX affiliate, FOX2 Detroit). Please help us out guys, we're all really fired up about this!!! (and if you're feeling REALLY ambitious, you can vote as often as once per hour). Thanks in advance for any support you can give!
