Our good friends over My Daily Thread were kind to post about our new project ‘B-Sides’. Check out the post below and be sure to head over to their site.

Industry innovators RethinkPopMusic are at it again. Known for putting artists first, the most recent project, B-Sides Live, answers the overwhelming need for NYC artists to debut new material, play acoustic sets or unveil side projects.

The weekly event will turn The Village Lantern into the artists’ playground, allowing independent artists to have full administrative control. In fact, participating artists can choose to play their entire album acoustically, collaborate or just play favorite covers for an hour. The only catch? This event isn’t intended for acoustic singer/songwriter sorts but rather artists already in a band with no intention of going solo.

B-Sides Live is scheduled to launch at The Village Lantern on February 4 and run every Thursday thereafter (excluding Feb. 18 when RethinkPopMusic will be holding its showcase at Santos Party House and March 18 when SXSW will be taking over everyone’s attention). Share the love grassroots style through word of mouth in the independent artist community. There will be no cover charge, no fliers and very little public promotion. Think of B-Sides Live as a living room jam session with friends…just a few more of them.
