davio Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've never solicited votes before...but my band, Booty Vortex, just entered the Foxwoods Resort and Casino "Be the Wonder" contest to rewrite their jingle. They just posted the track and we despirately need votes! This was also my first chance to record my beloved Dingwall. http://bethewonder.com/artist_profile.aspx?id=55e8736e-b32a-4029-8b96-2a1cc1c2ffa8 Please take a listen and give us a thumbs up if you like it!

davio Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks J! We only have to be in the top 50 judged by the number of "thumbs ups." The "thumbs downs" are only considered in the event of a tie. If we make the top 50 the judges will take over and pick a top 10 to perform @ Foxwoods for the finals. As of this moment, the current #50 has 118 thumbs ups. I hope it won't be a difficult task to surpass such a seemingly low number. Also, please feel free to critique! My playing, tone or anything else in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddiePlaysBass Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 i don't know if i can vote, it asks for a cell phone number to registre and i obviously have no US phone number to give. if it were postal codes (zip codes) i could use 90210 since EVERYONE my age used to watch the series "Beverly Hills 90210" and that's the one US zip code we know by heart :grin: "I'm a work in progress."

Brocko777 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Liked it, voted..... Liked the rock tune too... The Big Band will probably win for demographics I would guess. Good luck!!!

Danzilla Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Good playing there, Davio. you're a tight group. Only complaint? In headphones, it's very lopsided to the left; the right side is a bit light; probably due to the keys being on the left and they fill a lot of space. Not a deal killer, especially for an advert. Hope it all turns out well for you. "Am I enough of a freak to be worth paying to see?"- Separated Out (Marillion) NEW band Old band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davio Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 The winner will rerecord to their brodcast standards. Thanks for the kind words everybody. It's very encouraging. My thoughts on the big band, jazz, lounge singer and acapella versions: you can't top the original versions in their own styles. They were awesome!

davio Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Well, boyos...we made it into the top 50 in the online voting so it went to the judges to pick the top 10 and we just got the call tonight that we've made it to the finals! We'll be performing live with the other top 9 at Foxwoods at the end of the month and they'll decide who will be the new voice of Foxwoods! Saturday, 2/27...I'll be there with my beautiful purple AB1 layin' it down thick and funky. If you're anywhere in the area it might be a good excuse to hit the casino for the weekend!
