Your Band’s Big Break

This seven-part package has everything you need to leap from your bedroom to the big stage—studio time, gigs, a guitar, legal consultation, a photo shoot, styling, and a promise from Sub Pop to listen to your demo. Behold: It starts with a beautiful white Epiphone G-310 guitar; eight hours in the studio at Electrokitty Recording (previous clients include Maktub, Mastodon, and U2); mastering by Sound Media (12 songs or up 74 minutes of music); a photo shoot with Stranger and Rolling Stone photographer Justin Renney; styling for the shoot by Christine Cherbonnier of VAIN; an hour of legal consultation with entertainment lawyer Wade Neal, esquire; four gigs at Sunset Tavern; and, of course, the star-makers at Sub Pop will listen to your demo. Priceless!

Have no musical talent but still want to feel like a rockstar? Then you can be 2008’s Block Party Big Shot!

Be the envy of your friends and enemies at Capitol Hill’s premier music bacchanalia, with VIP passes for all days, refreshments, a King of Block Party T-shirt, and your own key to a private, padlocked porta-potty. Plus a dozen cupcakes from Cupcake Royale.
