What's going on everyone, wow, what a great festival Maximum Exposure Showcase part III was @ The Waterfront Concert Theater. Over 850 + people came out to the big festival , not to mention all of you Revolutionaries that were able to win free tickets for all of the Revolutionary Entertainment trivia you know. I would like to shout out the 12 person Rev. Staff Crew along with all of the great bands that were able to make this festival as dynamic as it was. Some of the days highlights were having all of the music industry expert panel guests compliment me on how great the bands on the fest were, along with lots of props from all of our media affiliates who were in attendance as well.
We are in the process of planning the next Maximum Exposure Showcase ... I am still up in the air as if it will be a multiple stage event, or a single stage event. Either way I am sure that the bands that will be booked for the next fest, and the fans that will attend will definitley have an exceptional live music experience.
Peace for now, and if you were able to snatch any Maximum Exposure Showcase photos you would like to share please feel free to email them to revguestlist@gmail.com . If your photos are selected you will get photo credit, and a press pass to the next fest.

It's crazy to think that the first Maximum Exposure Showcase was only back in January, and that Part III has already arrived with our strongest band line ups, and greatest venue to host this all day, all ages music festival to date. Looking forward to seeing all of you true Revolutionaries in Full Support and Full effect at this Revolutionary Entertainment festival.

Whats going on everyone, check out our great friends from Moab Films made for us, for all of you that attended the festival, and for everyone that couldn't get in, get there earlier next time, because here is what you missed....
Our Biggest Event To Date!
So it was officially two weeks ago today that Revolutionary Entertainment produced its biggest event to date. When I started Revolutionary Entertainment three years ago in a small club that no longer exists in the valley it had always been a goal of mine to produce a large scale music festival. With 4 food vendors 4 clothing vendors, 115 sound crew/event staff , 47 bands, and over 2,500 happy concert attendees later my goal has been completely accomplished and definitely exceeded my very ambitious expectations. Even though I will never get a chance to thank the 900 + people that bought tickets on line and the 1,600 + people that bought their tickets at the door I would sincerely like to say thank all of you on behalf of myself , and everyone else here at Revolutionary Entertainment. The festival clearly would not have been the great success that it was with out all of your support.
As always, this live music concert experience will continue very soon. We are in the pre-production stages of producing another great live music concert series in my favorite event friendly city of Long Beach , Ca starting in Mid March 2010. So as always make sure to check back here at the official Revolutionary-entertainment.com web site for the official news, and concert updates.
Thanks a million for supporting me , and everyone else that lives, loves, and can't live without the independent music scene !

Breaking news, Dean Guitars officially became the exclusive Guitar Company for Revolutionary Entertainment. So that means that they will be giving away a free Guitar and Bass to one of the prize winning bands at Guitar Center's Rock N Roll Superstars Part VI. They are one of the best guitar companies out on the market right now, and I want everyone that's a part of this music Revolution to check out their website to watch them covering this year's NAMM convention live.
With that being said we have begun accepting band submissions for Guitar Center's Rock N Roll Superstarz Battle of The Bandz Part VI. Bands and friends of bands if you would like to be considered for this once in a lifetime chance to become a Rock N Roll Superstar please email your bands myspace page and direct phone number to submit4rev@revolutionary-entertainment.com . We have kept all the prizes of our last showcase, and have added free recording time at the Hurley Studios who are the exclusive clothing sponsor of Revolutionary Entertainment. They will be giving away free gear through the competition so make sure to ask the box office what we have to give away that night.
Lastly I was invited to attend Guitar Center's Drum Off Finalz this past Saturday at the Music Box and was truly inspired by the overall excellent production they produced to a sold out crowd at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. I had a great conversation with our long time Platinum level sponsors DW and they have once again confirmed giving away a DW drum kit to one of the winning bands for Guitar Center's Rock N Roll Superstarz Battle of The Bandz Part VI!!! I can already tell this is going to be a contest where stars will be born, careers will be launched, and dreams will become realities!!!
