Hello again to all our members and fans.Indielink is very lucky to have taletn of all kinds come to us.Some of our old artists Like Star Off Machine,Snew,KyotoKandy,Starla, Mojave,Quartered and the list could go on and on.They are joined by equally tallented artists like Mind Ur Head,Johm Maun,Isle Of Thieves,Kolman,Stage Hands,and again this list could go on and on,
If we all took the time to mention one other band you heard from indielink,on say your facebook or myspace page.....Imagine the buzz we could create for all of us.It takes but a few minutes to write a blog and mention another act.So if you stop and think about this we all help each other.Kinda like paying it forward.I personaly believe there is still good in all of us,and although this industry is as cut throat as it comes.Man we dont have to be like that.Look at history and how the bands i grew up with are all still friends,as by evidence by some of the old timers doing shows with old acts.
lol...guess that makes me old,but indielink is built on the trust of helping all of you,by never charging you a penny.So say something good about an act you know it might just catch on.Maybe i should take my head out of the clouds.....Indielink will not stop promoting each and everyone of you....nor shall you pay for memberships or being heard on the radio....pass that along my friends

Hello to all our Indielink Members!Let me start by saying we are causing some bigger sites to really take notice of what we are doing.Yes there have been a couple of emails come our way offering things that we are not going to give up and that is all of you!!!!
November again has been a record setting month for us.Numbers continue to climb around the world and the daily hits and listeners are also on the rise.It is great to see things like this happen.We gave our email team almost 2 weeks off and the site continued to grow.Which means that all of you are getting heard,by more and more people every day.What else could indielink ask for?
We have also been helped by a site called mary4music.com.They are a very established site and have been around for yrs.They deal with Indie artists and Blues artists,So if you get a chance check out the site.They are flying the Indielink banner on there site,which by the way all of you can also.Just ask we will be happy to send it to you.
So as the month draws to a close Carl is working hard at bringing some changes to the site .Including our picks of the month that will be posted on the site and you can vote for the band you like the best,Winners will get an interview and a spotlightshow done just for them....Kinda cool and just another great way to get some great exposure.Remember Todays Indie Stars are in FactTomorrows Headliners!Every good artist knows that exposure is a key and thats what we give you.So rock on and work hard,we are working for all of you!!!!

Current mood:
numb and with heavy hearts Category: Music We are numb. The world has lost one of the Great Ones, Haydain Neale who passed away Sunday November 22 2009.
Haydain Neale was our producer/manager/teacher/mentor when we started out as Dame, until his motor vehicle accident in Aug 2007. He passed away from lung cancer on Sunday. That man didn't smoke a day in his life. Was so 'into' his health. He was the most awesome human being ever. Even if he didn't know you he would make you feel special. A great loss, a lot of grieving right now. Check out his new song, Lonesome Highway. He finally overcame the 3 month coma and rehabilitation from his injuries from Aug 2007. His 1st album since the accident is set to be released Dec 1 2009. The song is about the accident and his journey. Haydain is the single soul who took us as very young musicians and taught us songwriting and about the industry for 2 years. He was the President of The Songwriters Association of Canada at the time of his accident and a multi Juno Award winner. Our hearts go out to his dedicated and beautiful wife Michaela and his darling daughter, the pride of his eye, Yas His struggle is over. We are at a loss. Crushed.

When I turned on the news today, I found I had to just turn away
it's all too much, just too much
people dying in the streets, children screaming "Help us, please".
and I, can't stop the pictures streaming into my mind
and they never, ever go away
no they never, ever go away
I see no reason to believe, tomorrow turns out differently
it's all too much, Just too much
So I'll cry myself to sleep tonight, chilled by dreams of deaths delight
