OOC: It has already begun, please join in the festivities (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7842785).

In order to display the significance of musical culture to the world, and to improve our image as a peaceful, friendly nation, Jarridia has decided to open its borders and have a music festival. This party will be located in Kiakor, Jarridia and will be centered starting at the JIAMG (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=6754509#post6754509) (Jarridian International Art and Music Gallery) and will spread through the streets of the city itself. There will be many stages open to all forms of music.

In total, there are around 160 sound stages, and over 200 groups have been booked to play at this festival. Most of these are from Jarridia or other WWA nations, but there is plenty of room for foreign groups that wish to join in. This is a perfect opportunity for groups wishing to break into the international scene, because there will be prestigious record label representatives allocated at many of the sound stages.

This event will last a total of 5 days, and there is no cost for general admission, and even the price for entrance to the gallery has been scapped for this special occassion. We do however ask that you make a small donation to our cause to bring further culture into the world.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible.

This thread is just a sign-up, not the actual festival. Thank you.

shit, you took my idea!






It was mine, you just happened to read my mind somehow, so you did in fact steal it.

What varieties of music are we looking at here? Or is it just any type of music?

Sir/Madam,

We are incredibly enthusiastic about your upcoming event at the JIAMG. Several Slaytaniccan bands have expressed great interest of playing this event.

Festering Hate, a political rap-metal band with influences including Stuck Mojo and One Minute Silence
Flamethrower, a particularly brutal death metal/grindcore outfit
Helgaar's Reign, a Viking thrash/power band
Crack Factory, and insane blend of speed metal, gabba and industrial
Amorphous Tendrils, a rock/electronicca outfit heavy on the arpegiators

We enclose demo tapes of these excellent bands, current or classic favourites in Slaytanicca. We shall also happily offer you a donation of two million USD, and five million worth of booze towards the festival. Expect a hairy horde of Slaytaniccans to be there!

Regards,
Kathy "Pusmarrow" Woodbyne, Deputy Foreign Minister, Slaytanicca

There are a number of Nordrreicher groups that are interested in attending.

Das Konigstadt Kabarett- An innovative group combining the best in electronic music, metal and burlesque cabaret. Suggested only for an 18+ stage.

Valkyrie- A group that does symphony metal renditions of Wagnerian opera, complete with opera vocals.

Dieses Verfluchte Volksband- A comedy group that performs authentic Bavarian folk music complete with witty and incisive lyrics.

More have expressed interest. Is there room at your music festival for classical musicians?

Canis Lupus- Callisdrun's most acclaimed symphonic black metal band, is currently playing Sliponia's Rockstock festival (OOC: if it ever get's started) but would like to take part in this event as well, after their prior performance, of course. They're known for someone... macabre... stage shows

The People of Hiroshiko are also interested in this Music fest. Hundreds of them are yearning to flock over to Jarridia for such an event. There are two of our bands that wish to perform at the Fest:

The Punk d' Rockers - A famous Alternative Rock band in Hiroshiko, Woot!!!

Aoji Kazuhiro - A pop rocker teen, very popular in our nation.

We too will send money to aid in the sucession of the festivals. In best regards,

- Prime Minister Wolfwood

What varieties of music are we looking at here? Or is it just any type of music?

It is any type of music. The JIAMG is a gallery that holds all types of music, from Rap to classical and folk. If you have something you would like to add, please feel free to do so.


shit, you took my idea!

It was mine, you just happened to read my mind somehow, so you did in fact steal it.

Haha. I live in Austin, Texas....so I love live music...its my passion.

More have expressed interest. Is there room at your music festival for classical musicians?

Yes, there will be several theatres available for classical muscians and international symphonies.

As to the rest of you, thank you for displaying your interests in the First Annual Jarridian Music Festival. We hope all of your groups do join in and we wish them the best of luck. The festivities will begin shortly.

Fourteen different schools in ViZion are wanting to attend this. Also, a couple of ViZionarian diplomats plan on attending this.

Various other ViZionarians are making travel plans to attend this grand festival, too.

The ViZionarian Government also wishes to donate a lump sum of $25 million to this. We hope that it goes to make this festival even better! *writes check and sends it to Jarridia*

The Canadian Diplomats within the borders of Jarridia will be joining the festival and a selective few of Canadian Servicemen. Also our very own classic rock band will be reuniting for the last time for this performance, The Ullmans, with a few of their great hit singles to be song. At the moment this is the only group of artist that has been interested in being involved. The Canadian Government will also be willing to put money to the show to decrease the cost of our Jarridian hosts.

The bands Jett and Nirvana, (the former a rock-and-roll, the latter a rock band) both would like to attend and play here.

OOC: Ya, I know they're real bands... they also got real good music imho...

I am certainly proud to see so many groups willing to come to Jarridia and participate in our festivities. It also pleases us to see our allies and new friends contribute to our cause to spread many varieties of culture throughout the world. We can't thank you enough. With your support, this will be an even to remember.

Imported ViZion,

We are extremely confused by a certain recent statement made by your officials. If Nirvana is indeed a ViZionian band, then who is this Slaytaniccan who claims to be Kurt? Who, indeed, are the other twenty three?

As the music event created by the JIAMG draws closer, we wish to offer this one last chance for nations to offer their support for the musical art of any flavor. We hope that many will take this opportunity to come to Jarridia and showcase their work.

The nation of Korinthos is very interested in your music festival, and will gladly send a few musicians as well as a small donation of 156,637,500.00 Kronas ($2,500,000.00 USD).

Puck - A very well rounded rock band whos music features underground rock, punk rock, and a nice blend of urban music (Linkin Park mixed with Incubus and Hoobastank). This group has been topping the charts since the late 90s and is very popular with almost everyone.

Also, the Atlantis Corporation (or Atlantis Records, Atlantis Air, the clothing chain Abercrombie and Atlantis, etc.. Mainly goes by the name "Atlantis") is willing to sponser the festival.

Slaytanicca,

Your statement indeed confuses us, too. This is very interesting indeed. After this festival, we should crack down on this, and ask them, "Will the real Kurt Cobain please stand up?"
