RockMe. Online Music Festival Connects Bands and Fans in Real-Time

First Real-Time Online Mosh Pit

What: RockMe. (http://rockme.dium.com/) is a five-day online music
festival that brings rock bands and industry gurus together to
meet and interact with their fans in a unique online social
setting.

During the five-day virtual festival, bands, artists and music
mavens will lead fans on tours of various Web destinations,
debut new music and unique content and lead discussions on
various music topics.

Why: Music is an inherently social experience. Up until now, there
has been no way to socialize around music online. Me.dium
brings all the social and contextual value you get in the real
world into your online world for the first time.

"With the Me.dium software you can actually hang out with people
in a digital environment," he said. "It's just like hanging out.
That's what I like doing anyway."
- Jake Sproul, Rose Hill Drive

Who: Rose Hill Drive -- A Boulder, CO-based rock band recently chosen
by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the "Ten Artists to Watch in
2007" will be world premiering the new music video for their
song "Reptilian Blues." In addition, the band will close the
five-day festival with a live streaming Web cast of their
concert on 9/22.
