Nashville, Tennessee—October 12th, 2006—Slanted Records recording artist DecembeRadio will soon take their signature, guitar-driven rock sounds to the races as they are scheduled to perform on October 29th, in Hampton, Ga., at NASCAR’s Bass Pro Shops 500 race. The band will perform the national anthem as well as a complete set of songs prior to the starting time of the race. Around 180,000 attendees are expected to gather to watch the nationally televised and highly publicized event.
DecembeRadio’s current single, “Drifter,” continues to bound up the charts, currently at #14 and climbing (CHR radio) and is making its way up the Top 40 on the adult contemporary charts, according to R&R and CRW Magazine.
On October 27th, the band will join Atlanta’s J93.3 radio station and its Revolve Tour Rock Paper Scissors Tournament from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at Arbor Place Mall's food court where the band will perform and sign CDs. Tickets will be given away to attend the Revolve Tour on December 1st and 2nd in the Atlanta area.
Named an artist to watch for 2006 by BILLBOARD Magazine, DecembeRadio left the crowd on its feet recently when it opened for Kid Rock at the Anderson District Managers Conference in Dallas, Texas, and the group continues to receive glowing reviews from major industry and consumer media nationwide and abroad. The band has been a highlight of this year’s national SHOUTFEST tour and enjoyed prime time positioning at AtlantaFest, Rock the Universe and other summer festivals.
DecembeRadio has been featured on the eyeplay/earplay in-store promotion in over 3,000 general market stores in addition to their exposure through iTunes’ Discovery Download program as well as key positioning in around 400 Wal-Mart stores. Their self-titled debut remained in the Top 10 inspirational downloads on iTunes for weeks following the album’s street date.
