LABELS BY ED CHRSTMAN AGENDA TEMS As Dug Mrris Prepares T Helm Sny, Urgent Hiring And Organizatinal Decisins Await Outging Universal Music Grup (UMG) chairman Dug Mrris wn't assume the CEO pst at Sny Music Entertainment (SME) until July. But Sny's March annuncement f his widely expected appintment effectively means that the Mrris era is already under way at the secnd -largest majr label in the United States. As Mrris prepares t take the helm f Sny, fur pressing issues surely sit at the tp f his agenda: appinting new leadership at RCA /Jive Label Grup, addressing lingering Sny -BMG integratin issues, revamping Sny's A &R strategy and grwing market share. RCA /Jive chairman /CEO Barry Weiss' departure t head UMG's East Cast peratins creates an executive vacancy that Mrris will need t fill quickly. While the rumr mill has identified plenty f ptential candidates t replace Weiss -including frmer Warner Brs. Recrds chairman Tm Whalley, ex- Virgin Recrds president Jasn Flm and sland Def Jam Music Grup chairman /CEO Antni "L.A." Reid -it remains unclear wh will fill the pst. Once he appints a successr t Weiss, industry bservers believe that Mrris, wh declined t cmment fr this stry, must seize his appintment as an pprtunity t fi- nally d away with the remaining us- against -them mentality that persists between the ld Sny and BMG elements in the cmpany and t mve it t a new structure that leaves its tw -label system behind. "SME has wnderful legacy artists there and has a bunch f great, smart and talented peple wrking here, but it's a really ld -fashined structure and paradigm. Either the smart peple aren't seeing it, r it's nt in their wn best interest t address it," says a lngtime executive at the cmpany wh asked t remain annymus. "Either he has t change the mind -set f the peple here, r he has t change the structure -which will change the mind -set. But he has t get peple t wrk tgether fr a cmmn gal." f Mrris changes the structure f Sny Music, ne f the things he'll need t address is "t get everyne t agree n what's a central service and what's a label service," because there is t much duplicatin as everyne prtects their wn turf, says anther industry executive familiar with the cmpany. Bth Clumbia /Epic and RCA /Jive have grwn market share since 008. The death f Michael Jacksn helped lift the frmer's share f U.S. album and track- equivalent albums (r TEA, where 0 digital tracks equal an album) t.6% in 009 frm 8.8% in the prir n thrugh the ut dr Outging Universal Music Grup chairman DOUG MORRS (right), wh was recently appinted Sny Music CEO. in 009 with nw - departed RCA /Jive Label Grup chairman/ CEO BARRY WESS. year, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. But Jacksn sales weren't the nly factr in the label grup's recent success, with its market share remaining strng at 0.8 %in 00. Clumbia /Epic Label Grup chairman Rb Stringer and Clumbia Recrds chairman Steve Barnett have made event albums a centerpiece f the label grups' grwth strategy. The RCA /Jive Label Grup's share f U.S. album and TEA sales has grwn frm 6% in 008 t 6.% in 009 and t almst 7% last year. But with Weiss' departure, rumrs a- bund that he wants t take.b- sme f his executives with him. But a surce says that key staff, including RCA /Jive COO van Gavin, Jive executive VP /GM Tm Carrabba and RCA executive VP /GM Tm Crsn, have lng -term cntracts, and culd be in the running t helm the label grup, sme insiders say. Despite speculatin that Mrris shuld mve away frm a tw -label system -and perhaps fld Epic int Clumbia - ther executives pint ut that Mrris lves t create multiple A &R centers, and they speculate that he might even cnsider changing the structure frm tw label sils t fur r even mre A &R centers, but withut adding any mre layers f marketing and business staffs. "Dug has always said that the best recrd cmpanies have the best rsters," say an industry executive wh has wrked with Mrris. "And yu d that with great A &R centers. He learned that at [Warner Music Grup] and that's what he did at UMG. When he gets t Sny, he will start thse creative centers right away, and he will plug them int great business centers." As fr grwing market share, Mrris was successful at UMG in spreading verhead by ding third -party distributin deals with such labels as Big Machine, Disney /Hllywd and Cncrd. While Sny has third -party distributin deals with Razr & Tie and Wind -up, it's been years since it has brught a new cmpany int the fld fr its majr - label distributin cmpany. That, amng many ther things, culd change under Mrris. -- MOBLE: Fr /7 news and analysis n yur cell phne r mbile device, g t: mbile.billbard.biz. MARCH, 0

OP NON EDTORALS COMMENTARY LETTERS Being Cunted ndependent Label Market Share s Larger Than Yu Think BY RCH BENGLOFF Members fthe American Assn. f ndependent Music (AM) have a fundamental disagreement with the methdlgy that Billbard and Nielsen SundScan use t calculate label market share. Ownership f master recrdings, nt distributin, shuld be used t calculate market share. We understand that this is a cmplicated issue. But we respectfully request that Billbard and SundScan re- evaluate their current criteria and wrk with the label cmmunity t update the methdlgy s that it prperly represents the independent label cmmunity's place in the music ecnmy. Here's why. f yu use wnership f master recrdings t calculate label market share f bth U.S. album sales and digital track sales in 00, independent labels accunted fr apprximately 30% f each, while they accunted fr apprximately 37% f digital album sales. This puts the indies ahead f all the individual majrs in market share. But Billbard reprts market share based n distributr and as a result, sales frm such independently wned music labels as Curb, Cncrd /Runder, Razr & Tie, VP and Wind -up are embedded within the majr -label market - share ttals. We think this is an unfair way f reprting. n Sund- Scan's 00 album sales market -share reprt, embedded labels alne amunted, in aggregate, t mre than 5% f the market. We believe they shuld have been tallied as part f the independent music labels' sales based n wnership f masters. This isn't a vanity issue. Althugh access has imprved fr the entire creatr cmmunity, the ec- 360 DEGREES OF BLLBOARD BLLBOARD MUSC AWARDS TO BE HELD MAY The 0 Billbard Music Awards will air n ABC live frm the MGM Grand in Las Vegas n May, in partnership with the Las Vegas Cnventin and Visitrs Authrity.

"This shw marks the first f several bradcast platfrms we plan t build arund the Billbard franchise," Beckman says. "We have an incredible netwrk partner and with Dn Mischer, ne f the finest prducers in the wrld. We lk frward t entertaining music fans with Billbard's wn ren- ditin f a televised celebratin f music." The awards will reflect Billbard's chart rankings based n key fan interactins with music, including album, single and digital sales; turing; streaming; and scial interactins n Myspace, Facebk and ther ppular nline destinatins fr music. These measurements are tracked year -rund by Billbard and its data partners. The awards will be based n the reprting perid f Feb. 8, 00, thrugh March, 0.

"Las Vegas is a wrld -class destinatin knwn fr hsting special events," says Rssi Ralenktter, president /CEO f the Las Vegas Cnventin and Vis- nmic rewards have lagged. The music creatr cmmunity has evlved int three tiers: the fur majr labels, DY artists and independent labels. ndie labels prvide artists their services, experience and cntacts and, as a grup, have assumed the music wrking -middle -class tier f the industry, bringing their artists t market fr all t hear.

Why shuld distributin be cnsidered differently than any ther third -party services? The fact that independents chse majr labels t handle their distributin shuldn't affect hw the indie labels' market share is categrized. AM was established six years ag t prtect the rights f the American independent music label cmmunity with a cre missin statement f btaining access and tangible ecnmic gains fr its label members and their artists thrugh advcacy, cmmerce pprtunities, educatin and ther member services.

Whatever creditrs lst when the Cral Springs, Fla. -based whlesaler filed fr Chapter in 997, wuld bet that amunt has been mre than made up by the prfits that suppliers have realized frm the CDs and DVDs sld t the ne -stp in the years since. But if Brders cntinues dwn the path it's been fllwing, the chain culd see its Chapter rerganizatin turn int a Chapter 7 liquidatin. ndustry bservers say the cmpany has dug itself a deep hle thrugh chrnic mismanagement, a revlving dr f CEOs and filing fr Chapter later than it shuld have. t further alienated its suppliers by keeping them in the dark abut the depth f its prblems and then belatedly cming up with cckamamie half -frmed plans, first asking them t cnvert what they are wed int equity in the chain and then requesting that its debt be cnverted int lng -term lans. After securing $505 millin in debtr -inpssessin financing frm GE Capital in February, Brders turned t its suppliers t ask fr credit n prduct while it tries t rerganize. But the chain has yet t prvide enugh financial data and a semblance f a plan t give suppliers enugh cnfidence t extend credit. "They are in a delusinal state," an executive at a large bk publisher says. "Their ineptitude and inability t get their shit tgether is verwhelming. They have yet t shw a plan t the creditrs. There is n expectatin that they will be flated mre credit, nt based n the sketchy infrmatin they have prvided us." Brders spkeswman Mary Davis says that the cmpany is fcused n develping and executing its business plan as part f its rerganizatin. "We lk frward t wrking with ur vendrs with the verarching gal f emerging frm this prcess a strnger and mre vibrant bkseller, t the benefit f ur publishers, readers and all ther Brders stakehlders," she says. S far, trade creditrs appear indifferent t Brders' fate. "f they g dwn, there are plenty f places still arund t sell bks," the bk publishing executive says. "This isn't like the music industry where there aren't hardly any recrd stres left." The head f an independent music distributr adds that "if they g away, it wn't take us dwn." S far, nne f the majr labels is giving Brders any credit fr purchases, and accrding t the bk publishing executive, neither is the bk industry. LESSONS FROM TOWER RECORDS But despite their frustratin with Brders' missteps, bk publishers shuldn't be s blase abut letting the chain cmmit suicide. Yes, bk retailing, like music retailing, is underging a transitin frm physical t digital sales. But as the labels' bitter experience with the Twer Recrds liquidatin demnstrated, letting a physical retailer g under still pses big risks. S far, bk publishers haven't been as heavily reliant n a single digital retailer the way the music industry has been n itunes. And they have managed t sell digital bks that carry digital rights management r cpy prtectin, withut cnsumer uprar. Even thugh physical bks still dminate bk sales, 00 was "a watershed year" fr digital, with Amazn reprting that furth -quarter sales f bks fr its Kindle e- reader utnumbered sales f paperbacks t becme its tp -selling bk frmat fr the first time. The bk industry seems cnvinced that its digital future will remain rsy. "Piracy is nt a factr here and dn't think it will be," the bk industry executive says. "Fr ne, ur main audience is nt teenagers," and the industry has cpy - prtected devices, he adds. What's mre, unlike the music industry, which has seen sales cut in half during the last decade, bk sales have remained fairly steady since 003 when U.S. bk sales ttaled $.3 billin, accrding t estimates frm the Assn. f American Publishers. Sales peaked at nearly $5 billin in 007 befre drpping by.6% in 009 and.8% in 009 t $3.9 billin. (00 data isn't due until April.) But the bk industry is t early in its digital distributin ramp -up t yet have a clear view f hw this will play ut. S my advice t bk publishers wuld be that they think lng and hard abut keeping physical retail strng fr as lng as they can, because they just dn't knw hw their digital hand is ging t wrk ut. As reluctant as publishers are t extend credit t Brders, they might be grateful a decade frm nw, just as labels are still happy t be selling CDs and DVDs t Alliance Entertainment. Nt a week ges by when dn't hear a label sales executive lament the demise f Twer Recrds, the last physical retailer where smaller subgenres culd still find shelf space. "We, all the labels, shuld have reached deep int ur pcket t keep Twer alive," a label sales executive tld me recently. The music industry lst its chance t have a backup plan if digital salvatin cntinued t prve elusive. The bk industry wuld be stupid t thrw away its wn ptential safety net by nt extending a helping hand t Brders. R etail Track ED C HRSTMAN.BFr /7 retail news and analysis, see Z billbard.biz /retail.

8 BLLBOARD Smething Ventured, Smething Gained Rdì, SundClud Amng The Music Startups Drawing Venture Capital nterest Many venture capital investrs have been leery f putting their mney behind digital music startups requiring cstly music licenses. The burden f striking licensing deals, ften thrugh large advances t recrd labels, dissuaded cautius investrs in a tight capital market frm backing new music cmpanies. But during the past year, market cnditins fr VC fundraising have rebunded mdestly. And since the start f 0, a series f deals has illustrated that there's still VC interest in startups that transfrm hw music is experienced. n bth 008 and 009, investment deals were secured by music -related startups, accrding t data tracked by Billbard. n 00, the number f VC deals in music startups drpped t 8, with nly 0 deals annunced in the secnd half f the year. Even thugh the number f investments in music startups has declined, there are signs f imprvement in the brader market. Ttal U.S. VC investments reached $.8 billin in 00, up frm $8.3 billin in 009, althugh well shy f $8. billin in 008, accrding t the Natinal Venture Capital Assn. S far in 0, sme innvative cmpanies have managed t attract VC funding. Clud - based music service Rdi landed $7.5 millin frm Mangrve Capital Partners and earlier investrs. Audi stream- BYTES AND SCRATCHES ing service SundClud raised $0 millin frm Unin Square Ventures and ndex Ventures. RtMusic, which helps artists create rbust Face - bk pages, raised $3. millin frm Mhr Davidw Ventures and ther investrs. And Khush, a maker f music apps, raised an undisclsed amunt frm 500 Startups and thers. Opprtunity cmes in all shapes and sizes as cnsumers experience music in new ways, says Saul Klein, a partner at ndex Ventures, a Lndn -based VC firm that has a lng track recrd f investing in early -stage music startups. "We think there's a lt f innvatin and frmat evlutin that is still happening," Klein says. ndex was an investr in Lis - ten.cm, which later became Rhapsdy, and Last.fm, which was acquired by CBS in 007 fr $80 millin.

"Bth are businesses that are helping fans get access t live music and make sure they never again miss a live music event," Klein says. Walden Venture Capital managing directr Larry Marcus has a similar investing eths. " tend t gravitate tward music services that directly tuch the cnsumer and really add deep value t their experience, where direct licenses with labels are nt necessary fr them t explit their primary business pprtunity," Marcus says. Walden led the first VC rund fr Pandra in 00 and, mre recently, has invested in RtMusic and SundHund. n August 009, when venture capital was drying up, Nashville -based VC firm the Martin Cs. invested in scial cmmerce startup Mntast. "t's fair t say everyne was fairly tentative then," Martin executive Ed Cassady says f the market at the time. "A lt f ther peple were keeping pwder dry as they watched which way the markets were turning." Mntast was helped by early investrs frm the music industry, including cuntry music stars Vince Gill, Brad Paisley and Wynnna Judd, Cassady says. "Over time, we saw that ne f the beauties f this cmpany is it had an pprtunity t expse its services t peple in the industry," he says. "That's valuable fr feedback." Even thugh investr sentiment has imprved, VC firms still shw little interest in funding cmpanies that require direct licenses frm majr labels and publishers. "[Angel investrs] and sme ther peple may d it, but yu're just nt seeing very much activity where VCs are handing their capital t labels fr advances," Marcus says. "That's been ging n a lng time. t's really been diminishing, and it's pretty clear that's nt a gd idea." ndex's Klein says his firm sees "labels as great partners," but adds that "we just think fr early -stage investing pprtunities, at least fr the last five years, the better places t fcus were where the experience f music is being mst directly impacted," such as scial media, search and user - generated cntent. "Smething that cntinues t make us excited abut investing in music is the fact that the ttal cnsumptin f music by fans has nt decreased ver the last 0-5 years," Klein says.

9 : r' BY ED CHRSTMAN CHORDS OF BLAME Britney Spears' `Hld t Against Me' Sparks Rw Over Alleged Similarities With Bellamy Brthers Sng The Bellamy Brthers appear t be facing an uphill battle in their infringement claim against the sngwriters f Britney Spears' "Hld t Against Me," accrding t cpyright experts. That public spat cmes as surces say a settlement is being negtiated in a separate dispute between Katy Perry's "Califrnia Gurls" and Rndr Music, the publisher f the Beach Bys classic "Califrnia Girls." The Bellamys turned t press utlets in January t cmplain abut alleged similarities between their chart -tpping 979 Ht Cuntry Singles hit "f Said Yu Had a Beautiful Bdy Wuld Yu Hld t Against Me" and Spears' recent N. pp hit, which was written by Max Martin, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gttwald, Bnnie McKee and Mathieu Jmphe. The fur sngwriters returned fire in a lawsuit filed March in a U.S. District Curt in Tampa, Fla., accusing the brthers f make defamatry and libelus statements abut them. "n a publicity stunt aimed t increase their recrd sales, prfit frm plaintiffs' successes and t cmbat their dwindling relevance in tday's music industry," the suit states, "the Bellamy Brthers have embarked upn a malicius public campaign in which they have falsely accused plaintiffs f infringing the cpyright in and t the musical cmpsitin `f Said Yu Had a Beautiful Bdy Wuld Yu Hld t Against Me.' " The Bellamys and Spears sngs dn't appear t be similar mu- Name that tune: THE BELLAMY BROTHERS and BRTNEY SPEARS (inset) sically, but the latter's track includes the phrase "f said want yur bdy nw, wuld yu hld it against me," which is similar t the lyrics fund in the chrus f the Bellamys' sng. "f Said Yu Had a Beautiful Bdy Wuld Yu Hld t Against Me" is published by Sny /ATV Music Publishing. Spears' "Hld t Against Me" is published by each f the writers' wn publishing cmpanies thrugh Gttwald's Prescriptin Sngs, with Kbalt Music Grup serving as administratr. The Bellamys, Sny /ATV and Kbalt Music declined t cmment. Gttwald's management didn't respnd t requests fr cmment. After first ging public with their grievances in January, the Bellamys never filed an infringement suit against the fur sngwriters f the Spears sng. But their attrney, Christpher Schmidt, appeared t up the ante by annuncing Feb. that cpyright lawyer Richard Busch, a partner at Nashville law firm King & Ballw, was investigating whether t pursue litigatin. Busch has recently prevailed in high -prfile music cases, including a widely publicized 00 case under which a federal curt fund that Universal Music Grup's sale f Eminem's music at itunes cnstitutes a licensing arrangement, warranting a higher ryalty. Busch als nailed a win in 007 n behalf f Bridgeprt Music and Suthfield, Bridgeprt's sister publisher at ASCAP, when a federal jury fund in favr f the publishers in a cpyright infringement suit against UMG fr Public Annuncement's "D.O.G. in Me," which featured a ne -wrd sample f the wrd "dg" frm the Gerge Clintn sng "Atmic Dg." The ruling was upheld by the U.S. Sixth Circuit Curt f Appeals in Nashville in 009. n its decisin, the Sixth Circuit judges nted that "the cpying f a relatively small but qualitatively imprtant r crucial element can be an apprpriate basis upn which t find substantial similarity." While Busch's "Atmic Dg" win was seen as expanding the scpe f what is prtectable cpyright, a cpyright lawyer wh asked t remain annymus says that was a sampling case while a "diminutive claim" strategy is at the heart f the - Bellamys' argument. f Busch files an infringement suit and manages t avert a summary judgment against the case, it "might be ripe fr a settlement," says a law prfessr specializing in cpyright law wh als requested annymity. "n cpyright law, a shrt phrase in and f itself is nt prtected." Meanwhile, Rndr hasn't filed a cpyright infringement suit ver its claim abut alleged similarities between "Califrnia Girls" and "Califrnia Gurls," which was written by Perry, Martin, Gttwald, McKee, Benjamin "Benny Blanc" Levin and Snp Dgg (wh als appears n the track). But a surce familiar with the situatin says negtiatins are under way fr a settlement that wuld grant 3% f the Perry sng's authrship t the Beach Bys and their publisher Rndr, which is wned by UMG. Anther surce says the talks invlve nly Perry, Snp and Rndr. The sngwriters, Perry and Snp culdn't be reached fr cmment.

10 BLLBOARD MARCH BY DANE COETZER MOVNG UPFELD With New Wrld Cup Venues, Suth Africa Curts Superstar Stadium Shws JOHANNESBURG -Less than six mnths after hsting Africa's first FFA Wrld Cup, Suth Africa is using tw new stadiums and ther infrastructure t psitin itself as a stp -ff fr big internatinal turing acts. U, Bn Jvi, Neil Diamnd and Kings f Len -the latter tw acts appearing in Suth Africa fr the first time -have either perfrmed since the start f the year r are all lining up gigs fr 0, with mre stadium shws set t be annunced in the new year. Capetwn -based Live Natin partner Big Cncerts aims t bring five t six stadium shws per year t Cape Twn Stadium and Jhannesburg's FNB Stadium (knwn as Sccer City during the Wrld Cup) beginning in 0. That's a big increase frm the three stadium cncerts perfrmed by Rd Stewart, Linel Ritchie and Eltn Jhn between 008 and 00. Big Cncerts was cnsulted n the design f Cape Twn Stadium as a multipurpse venue, ensuring it has the flexibility, access and facilities needed t stage smething like U's sld -ut February shw, accrding t Big Cncerts COO Jhn Langfrd. He describes the 70,000- "The Wrld Cup has radically changed the live music landscape." -JOHN LANGFORD, BG CONCERTS capacity stadium and the 00,000- capacity FNB Stadium as being amng the "best in the wrld." n additin t spurring the cnstructin f new facilities, Suth Africa's Wrld Cup preparatins als included imprved health and safety standards and stricter laws prtecting cpyrights, Langfrd says. "The Wrld Cup made Suth Africa very event -friendly," he says. Fan reactin t the new wave f stadium shws -usually scheduled as a stpver either n the way t r way back frm Australian dates -has been psitive. U sld ut its Feb.3 Jhannesburg shw at FNB Stadium, grssing $9. millin n attendance f 9,3, while the band's Feb. 8 cncert in Cape Twn grssed $6. millin n attendance f 7,53, accrding t Billbard Bxscre. Sales have als been strng fr upcming perfrmances by Diamnd and Kings f Len. The latter are scheduled t perfrm at Cape Twn Stadium Oct. 6 and at FNB Stadium n Oct. 9. Bn Jvi has yet t cnfirm its dates but is als expected t generate brisk demand fr tickets. Bn Jvi c- manager Paul Krzilius says -Rlling ut the welcmemat: Cape Twn Stadium the new venues and the ptential fr strng ticket sales persuaded the band t make a return visit t Suth Africa, having played fur cncerts there in 995. But he says shws in the territry will need t make mney in their wn right if Suth Africa is t establish itself n the internatinal turing circuit. "Making mney is gal N., as recrd sales are n lnger a significant revenue stream and merchandise is nly the icing n the cake," Krzilius says. "Yu need the cake first." Langfrd says that Big Cncerts generally needs t sell abut 90% f tickets t break even. The cmpany has been turning t crprate spnsrs t bst the prfitability f shws, with Nkia already nbard fr the Kings f Len dates, and negtiatins are under way with mbile peratrs and financial institutins fr ther turs. But nt everyne is enthusiastic abut the influx f internatinal superstars. Fans in Durban, Prt Elizabeth and ther cities have viced their disgruntlement in nline frums that Jhan- nesburg and Cape Twn are emerging as the nly viable venues fr stadium shws f the scale being bked by Big Cncerts. Smaller venues are als wrried that such large -scale cncerts will draw a greater prprtin f cnsumer entertainment spending. Rb Allan, manager f Bassline, a,00 -capacity club in Jhannesburg that has hsted Feeder, Die Antwrd and Wyclef Jean, says he hasn't yet nticed any reductin in business. But lking ahead, he warns that we can't cmpete with the media partnerships and publicity a [band like] U can cmmand." And Langfrd insists that imprvements brught abut by the Wrld Cup will prvide a bst t the cuntry's verall turing business. "The Wrld Cup has radically changed the live music landscape in Suth Africa," he says. "We can nw participate in the glbal stadium circuit in much the same way that Suth America and Australia des."

Crssing Swrds Hw Tw Multitalented Brits Launched A Multiplatfrm Mini -Empire n Brklyn There's n telling hw many extic -prn seekers have wund up n a YuTube page called "fallnyurswrd69." But any wh d visit are in fr a surprise. The first vide features neither swrds nr suggestive pses, but rather British expats Will Bates and The ndies Phil Mssman acting ut a bizarre spken - wrd piece abut CORTNEY Captain Kirk HARDNG climbing a muntain, while a synth - heavy dance track plays in the backgrund. The vide is an apt representatin fthe intersectin f film, cmpsitin and sheer weirdness that's Fall n Yur Swrd, which is Bates and Mssman's music prductin cmpany and the name the tw musicians use when they play gigs. Dwn the street frm a beer hall and behind an artisanal chclate factry in the Williamsburg sectin f Brklyn, Bates and Mssman lrd ver a studi that is grund zer fr their mini -empire, which includes cmpsing music fr TV ad campaigns and films, as well as their wn electrnic tracks. Mssman, wh spent five J years playing with LCD Sund - system, met Bates when they were bth wrking at Amber Music, a music prductin firm in New Yrk. The pair has wn a Cannes Gld Lin award and a Cli fr their advertising wrk, as well as wrk scring films, including "Anther Earth," which was just signed t Fx Searchlight at the Sundance Film Festival. Bates and Mssman als perfrm their dance tracks live frm time t time, playing gigs at the Museum f the Mving mage in Queens and the New Jersey Museum f Cntemprary Art, as well as mre traditinal venues like Brklyn Bwl and the Came Gallery in Williamsburg. "We were cmmissined t d a viral ad called 'Damn Bts' fr a sccer [she] cmpany called Nmis," Mssman says. "That was the ad that [wn] the Cannes Lin, and it all blew up frm there." Since winning that award, the pair has dne ads fr cmpanies like ESPN, Ggle, Ab- slut and Kraft. But as their film wrk has increased, their advertising wrk has taken a back seat. "We still d a few ads, but we have the ability t really pick and chse," Bates says. "We just did sme spts fr Liptn Brisk ced Tea, fr example." The pair started their film - scring career wrking with indie filmmaker Kita Sakurai n "Aardvark," a mvie abut a jujitsu -fighting blind man that screened at the Vienna Biennale. Since then, the du has wrked n a diverse set f prjects including "Chsin," a dcumentary abut marines during the Chsin reservir campaign in the Krean War; "Yu Wn't Miss Me," which wn the 009 Gtham Award and premiered at Sundance; and a sci -fi mvie called "Play." "One thing the last few years have taught us is hw imprtant music is t a film," Bates says. "When yu see a film withut music r with dummy music, versus the final prduct, it's a whle different experience." Thugh Mssman and Bates culd prbably easily parlay their cnnectins and backgrund int a label deal, they've shied frm ding anything frmal thus far. "We've never lked fr a frmal deal," Bates says. "Fr ne, ur schedules and ther prjects wuld prevent us frm n Yur Swrd's WLL BATES (left) and PHL MOSSMAN ging ut n the rad fr a lng perid f time, and feel like a label wuld clse ff ur ptins. f ne f ur friends wanted t d smething, we might cnsider it, but we're pretty happy and self -sufficient right nw." Bates and Mssman d almst all f their wrk frm their studi -a set f rms with a keen design aesthetic and a mix f cutting -edge and ld- schl equipment. "We d bring in an utside mastering guy, and dn't tuch sund design," Mss - man says, adding, "We keep everything else in the family.

Thrugh their new jint venture Nva - tur, SMG and FPC are seeking t take advantage f Luisiana's Live Perfrmance Tax Credit prgram, which is de- signed t grw the state's live music and entertainment industry much like a similar incentive prgram aims t d fr the state's film industry. Nvatur clients will primarily cmprise artists and managers, but a third -party prmter culd als be the client, depending n hw deals are structured. Thugh SMG's primary gal is t generate business fr its Luisiana venues, a Nvatur client can use a lcatin managed by anther cmpany, SMG senir VP Dug Thrntn says. SMG's venues in the state include the Luisiana Superdme, the New Orleans Arena, Bssier City CenturyTel Arena, Shreveprt Municipal Auditrium, Pntchartrain Center in Kenner and the Batn Ruge RiverCenter. Thrntn, wh runs the Superdme cmplex, spearheaded its recnstructin after Hurricane Katrina and versees SMG's effrts in Nvatur, says the jint venture "will ffer an pprtunity fr the live turing business t lk at Luisiana in a different way." The venture cmbines SMG's expertise and cntacts in live entertainment with FPC's experience in securing sme $00 millin in tax incentive -based financing fr the mtin picture industry since 00. Will French, president f FPC and Nva - tur, says the cncept brings innvatin t an area that needs it: tur financing. "'m nt sure there has been any innvatin in cncert tur finance in decades," French says. "[Turing artists] are accustmed t receiving dllars frm prmters, ticket sales and spnsrs. What we're really ffering t the industry is a whle new revenue pl." T be eligible fr the tax credit, a tur must either riginate r rehearse in Luisiana and spend at least $00,000 in Luisiana n prductin r infrastructure. The value f the credit ranges frm 0% fr expenditures f $00,000- $300,000, 0% fr expenditures f $300,000- $ millin and 5% fr expenditures f mre than $ millin. Turs are als eligible fr ther incentives, such as an additinal 0% tax credit n payrll csts fr Luisiana residents. Nvatur prvides its clients varius tur - related services in the state, such as transprtatin, gear rental and stage design, the csts f which accrue tward the earning f a tax credit. The jint venture als prvides On Thy Rad, WADDERLAY L financing fr artists t launch their turs in the state based n its calculatins f anticipated tur csts and tax credits and handles the paperwrk required t claim a credit.

12 U :«)N LATN Bella talia: SERGO DALMA a Old Sngs, NewSales Sergi Dalma s The Latest Artist T Scre A Hit With A Cvers Album Spain, a cuntry with a lng- standing reverence fr the singer /sngwriter traditin, has made a hit ut f an unlikely album. "Via Dalma" (Universal), Sergi Dalma's cllectin f Spanish - language cver versins f talian standards frm the '70s and '80s, was the cuntry's tp -selling album f 00 -surpassing releases by stars like Shakira and Enrique glesias, despite the fact that it wasn't released until Nvember. "Via Dalma" has sld Latin Ntas LELA COBO 00,000 units in Spain, accrding t recrd prducers assciatin Prmusicae, making it ne f the biggest hits f the veteran Spanish singer's 0 -year career. (The album is scheduled t be released in the United States by Mther's Day.) Why did a set f talian sngs -albeit sung in Spanish- resnate s strngly with music fans in Spain? Much f the success f "Via Dalma" can be traced t the lng lve affair that Latin pp has enjyed with the talian pp traditin, with urner Bradcasting System's Chilevisin pulled ut all the stps t prduce this year's Viña del Mar nternatinal Sng Festival, the mst imprtant Latin American fest dedicated t pp music. Fr the first time, the venerable annual event, which has been held since 960 in the Chilean seaside resrt twn f Viña del Mar, wasn't prduced by Televisin Nacinal de Chile, Megavisin r Canal3. nstead, Chilevisin, the tp -rated netwrk in Chile, utbid its rivals fr the rights t munt the event thrugh 0 and spared n expense fr its debut prductin f the festival, which tk place Feb. -6 at the Quinta Vergara Amphitheatre. The netwrk says it spent nearly $0 millin n the event, including artist and prmtin csts, up frm the $7.5 millin that Canal 3 says it spent last year. Still, Chilevisin GM Mari Cnca says the netwrk expects t turn a prfit n the fes- talian singers like Laura Pausini and Ers Ramaztti cmmanding a large fan base in the Spanish -speaking wrld. The strng sales f "Via Dalma" als underscre the Latin music industry's renewed interest in cver albums, which appeal t lder music fans wh still buy CDs. One f 00's tp - selling Latin albums in the United States was Marc Anthny's "cns," a cllectin f mstly cvers f sngs ppularized by great Latin singers. And this week, Mexican crner Cristian Castr nce again tps Billbard's Tp Latin Albums chart with "Viva el Principe" (Universal Music Latin), his hmage t icnic Mexican singer Jsé Jsé. The album, released in December, enjyed the biggest weekly sales spike f any release by an artist wh perfrmed during Premis L Nuestr n Feb. 7. U.S. sales f "Viva el Principe" surged 56% t,000 units during the week ended Feb. 0, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Unlike Anthny, neither Dalma nr Castr had a single wrked heavily t radi. nstead, the fcus f bth prmtins was the entire album, and was geared t a mre adult cnsumer. n Spain, fr example, Dalma had a campaign with radi netwrk Cadena Dial, which featured snippets f different tracks n the album. Dalma's set is "made fr the 0 -plus generatin," Universal Music Latin America VP f Latin artists marketing Angel Kaminsky says. "t's a cnsumer that still cnsumes physical albums." Universal Music Spain president Fabrice Benit became receptive t Dalma's lng- standing idea f recrding cvers f talian standards after "Trece," anther album released by the singer in 00, went gld (fr 30,000 units sld) within fur mnths. Given the increasingly shrter shelf life f new albums in Spain, the majr was interested in preparing anther Dalma release t tie in with his planned tur f Spanish theaters, Benit says. Because Dalma's recrding deal als includes a percentage f turing, the ntin was particularly attractive t the label. Dalma kicked ff his Spanish tur in February, rughly cinciding with Universal's Valentine's Day release f his album in Mexic, Clmbia and Argentina. Benit acknwledges that he never expected "Via Dalma" t enjy this degree f success. "Sergió s last tw albums did very well," he says. "But 00,000 cpies is extremely rare, given the state the market is in.".b Sngs by the sea: CHAYANNE perfrming at this year's Viña del Mar festival.

13 . 3_J3() HARMONX MUSC SYSTEMS FOUNDER/ CEO Alex Rigpul s The music game pineer talks abut what's ahead fr "Rck Band" and why he's still ptimistic abut the future. Given hw music videgame sales have tanked during the last tw years, being the face f the genre may nt carry the same bragging rights it nce did. But it's a badge Harmnix Music Systems c- funder /CEO Alex Rigpuls wears with pride. Rigpuls has been at the helm f Harmnix at every stage f evlutin in the music - game market, frm its creatin f the pineering "Guitar Her" franchise in 005 t the launch f "Rck Band" and "Dance Central" fllwing MTV's 007 acquisitin f the cmpany and Harmnix's subsequent sale t a grup f private investrs last year. n that time, music videgames have gne frm being a ht new surce f revenue grwth fr recrd labels t a rapidly shrinking business hampered by a glut f titles and a lack f innvatin (Billbard, Feb. 9). That precipitus drp in frtunes culminated in February with Activisin's annuncement that it is shuttering its "Guitar Her" business unit. Nw Harmnix has cme full circle -back t being an independent videgame develper with smething t prve. But nne f this fazes Rigpuls, wh studied music at the Massachusetts nstitute f Technlgy and remains an avid drummer and gamer. n his first interview since MTV sld Harmnix, he talks t Billbard abut what's ahead fr "Rck Band" and "Dance Central," whether the recrding industry played a rle in the dwnfall f music games and why he remains bullish n the categry's prspects. Are music games dead? N, f curse nt. Band games are a very specific subgenre f music games. Many peple pint t the explsive expansin f band games and precipitus cntractin that happened ver the last tw r three years. They say because band games have shrunk, music games are dead. Music games as a categry is much, much mre diverse than that. Dance games are an example f that. There's tns f additinal creative terrain under the umbrella f interactive music that have nthing t d with band perfrmance simulatin. [Band games are] a much smaller business than they used t be. At the right scale, it's a healthy business that can be cultivated ver the lng term prfitably, and it's Harmnix's intentin t d s. What accunts fr the rapid rise and fall f band games? n the big swell f band games in , it was a very new experience that was particularly appealing t peple wh didn't cnsider themselves garners. There are cre gamers that were and cntinue t be passin- ate devtees f the game. But the swell came frm casual and nn - gamers that were drawn int that wrld. While they arrived very precipitusly, it's just as easy fr them t mve n t new things that attracted their attentin just as quickly. Did the music industry kill the glden gse by charging t much fr music licenses? The recrded -music business has its business interests t attend t and videgame develpers and publishers have their business interests t attend t. Smetimes thse interests can be in ppsitin t ne anther in determining hw t divide the prceeds. But that's a natural business tensin that exists in any business where there's cllabrative cntributin f intellectual prperty t an entertainment prduct. dn't think it's fair t say the recrded -music industry cntributed t the cntractin f this business. Frankly, they, like we, have had t adapt t that change. Harmnix was the riginal develper f "Guitar Her" befre Activisin acquired the franchise. Hw d yu feel abut it being shut dwn? T see a franchise we played a rle in creating either shuttered r put int hibernatin... certainly there's a pang f lss there. But hnestly, we're nt really that preccupied with the past. Our attentin and energy is mre fcused n the future. Our first reactin t that news was ne f sympathizing with a lt f excellent peple at Activisin and the participating studis that were put ut f wrk as a result f that mve. Mre than anything else, we viewed it as a bellwether fr the demand fr evlutin and reinventin in the categry. That demand excites us n a pretty prfund level. t's a sign f the times and a sign f the evlutin where we're called upn t d smething new and big. What's the future f the "Rck Band" and "Game Central" franchises? There are shrt-term cnsideratins and lng -term cnsideratins. n the shrt term, "Rck Band 3" cntinues t have quite a lt f unreal- ized pprtunity. t's a huge prduct with a huge feature set and we're ging t cntinue t nurture that title fr sme time, bth in the frm f expansin cntent- meaning there's still incredible music cntent that has nt yet made its way nt the "Rck Band" platfrm and we'll cntinue t bring new cmpelling cntent there -and the ptential fr the Pr feature set, [which] has nt at all been fully realized yet. n the lnger term, what's clear given the way the wrld has evlved is that the marketplace is demanding reinventin, and that's a demand we welcme gladly and we're excited abut. Obviusly there's nt much can say abut that at this stage. But we remain very much cmmitted t this franchise. What abut "Dance Central "? That's at a very different place. t's at the beginning f its life cycle. t's dne very well at retail. We think there's a, lt f creative pprtunity left unexplred in that franchise and a large addressable market we've nt yet reached as the Kinect just launched. We think there's a great pprtunity t get millins f millins f peple dancing that we're pretty fired up abut. With MTV n lnger leading the licensing negtiatins fr yur music games, hw is that prcess wrking nw? A lt f that respnsibility has nw shifted t Harmnix. f yu rewind the clck five years r s, MTV played an abslutely invaluable rle in laying the fundatin fr partnerships with the recrded -music industry that didn't exist in the videgame business prir t that. But at this stage, videgames have blssmed int a material prfit center fr the music business. Whereas five years ag it was hard t get the recrd cmpanies t return ur phne calls, we're at a pint nw where the music cmpanies recgnize the imprtance f videgames as a prfit surce. S Harmnix certainly has the standing t cllabrate with ur music partners with ur new prjects ging frward. We're in the prcess f reaching ut t ur music partners and establishing new relatinships right nw. What's the future fr music games? T the degree that we can cntinue t create experiences that deepen peple's cnnectin t the music they lve, there will always be tns f creative and business pprtunities fr music games. That said, there's als a demand fr cnstant evlutin and inventin. That's a big part f ur reasn fr being and we'll cntinue t rise t that challenge. One immediate representatin f that is "Dance Central." What yu'll see frm us ver the cming years is a cntinuing interpretatin f what music games mean. Yu'll see music games will be a permanent fixture in interactive entertainment ging frward. dn't think it's fair t say the recrded -music industry cntributed t the cntractin f this business. They, like we, have had t adapt t change. MARCH, 0 3

16 BLLBOARD FHER OLVERA, LEAD SNGER OF MEXCAN ROCK quartet Maná, lived with the music fr weeks. Then a stry came t him: A medieval nun clistered behind cnvent walls falls deeply in lve with a priest. Her passin is finally punished with death. " can't say exactly where gt the idea t write a sng abut this," Olvera says. "But 'd read a while ag a passage by Sr Juana nes de la Cruz, the pet nun wh cut her hair and wh fell prfundly in lve. And als saw a mvie where the nun and the priest fall in lve and they're sht t death. t's very magical hw the music just leads yu in different directins." Music may lead Maná int smetimes surreal subject matter -but the essence f the Latin rck band made up f Olvera, drummer Alex Gnzalez, guitarist Sergi Vallin and bassist Juan Dieg Callers has remained cnstant fr the past 0 years. N ther Spanish -language recrding act sells albums with the vlume and cnsistency f Maná. There is n bigger- selling r -turing Latin rck act in the wrld. Maná has sld mre than 5 millin Spanish -language albums in 0 cuntries, accrding t Warner, with 5 millin f thse in the United States and Puert Ric, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Every single studi album, beginning with the act's 99 breakthrugh " Dnde Jugaran ls Niñs," which sld 770,000 cpies, has sld mre than half a millin units in the United States and Puert Ric (save fr 995's "Cuand ls Angeles Llran," which sld 303,000). At the heart f Maná's success is its sund -lyrical, eminently meldic lines anchred by Olvera's signature high, raspy tenr and the frequent use f Caribbean beats intertwined with pwer drums and guitars. Often set t rmantic lyrics, Maná's sngs have struck a universal chrd. On the grup's new studi album "Drama y Luz," slated fr release April n Warner Music, Maná finds itself pushing bundaries. An exquisite track that brings tgether Olvera's lyrics with the evcative music f Vallin, "Sr Maria" marries guitars and drums with lush, dramatic strings arranged by cellist Suzie Katayama, cnductr f the Ls Angeles Philharmnic. "What a band, eh?" asks Katayama, wh has als wrked with k.d. lang and Beck and has tured with Eric Claptn. "They crss ver all genres. They're a cmbinatin f ld rck and what think rck and pp is mving up t: great music with great beats and heart." The L.A. Phil is featured n fur tracks. "Drama y Luz" is the first studi album in nearly five years frm the quartet, which hails frm Guadalajara, Mexic. The set tk mre than a year t create; by the time Maná entered the studi last May, it had already recrded plished dems and pretty much charted the musical map fr f the 3 sngs that wuld eventually make the album. But the intensely fine - hned recrding and lyrical prcesses -dcumented in a "making f" DVD that's part f a deluxe editin f the album -were painstakingly minute, t the pint that the release date was mved frm fall t December and finally, t April. The band members annunced the date change themselves n their web - site, Mana.cm.mx. " `Drama y Luz' wn't be ready fr the annunced date," a letter signed by all fur members read. "t's like taking a cake ut f the ven befre it's fully dne. Our traditin has always been t fully ck ur albums and with this philsphy we've prevailed ver managers and recrd labels." "t was a hell f a deadline," says Olvera, a tall man with curly hair and a calm, Zen -like demeanr. "The cmpany wanted the album ut fr Christmas. But we were wise nt t sign a delivery clause. n the end, the cmpany understd that Maná wasn't lazy, r getting drunk in the Bahamas. t's just that we... didn't think it was finished." "The last album catapulted Maná t anther level," says veteran manager Angel Medina, wh's been wrking with the grup's team since the band's last album. "t's such an imprtant career and ne f s many hits that being able t reinvent and attract new fans and a bigger audience than befre -as we did last time -is truly a challenge." Maná's previus studi set, 006's "Amar Es Cmbatir," sld 63,000 cpies in the United States, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. The 007 Amar Es Cmbatir tur grssed $35 millin, accrding t Billbard Bxscre, setting the recrd Maná members strike a pse (frm left): JUAN DEGO CALLEROS, FHER OLVERA, SERGO VALLN and AL NZALEZ(fregrund) fr the highest -grssing Nrth American tur by a Latin act since Bxscre began tracking data in 99. "They're... crisis- prf," Warner Music Latin America chairman ñig Zabala says. "t's a situatin unique in this marketplace." T'S A SECRET While it's hard t pinpint just what makes Maná tick fr s many, everyne agrees the secret -trite as it may sund -lies in the music. " had the privilege f hearing a few sngs frm the new album and afterward was thinking, `Why are they s gd?' " Live Natin senir VP f turing Kate Rams says. "And realized it. They always sund 'Maná.' They still manage t explre with music and t develp... but the basics f Maná are always present. t's like Cca -Cla. Whether it's diet r cherry r whatever, it's always Cke." But peple still get things wrng. "Everything n Wikipedia, Maná WEBSTES: Mana.cm.mx, Facebk.cm /mana 0',8 NAGEMENT: Angel Medina, Angel Medina Grup; Ulises Callers, Chaman Music PK..

Althugh each member f Maná is a star in the Latin wrld, nne f them has his wn Twitter accunt. ndeed, in a Latin music industry dminated by sl acts, Maná is nt nly a rare grup but als ne that has managed t remain chesive after nearly 0 years. Althugh Olvera and Gnzalez tend t act as the band's spkesmen, all Maná media and appearances feature the entire grup, and all artistic and business decisins are subject t cnsultatin with and apprval f all fur members. nitially created by Olvera in the late '70s, Maná's early lineup included bassist Juan Dieg Callers and his brther Ulises n guitar, and in 986 added Gnzalez -a dynam drummer f Cuban and Clmbian heritage -fr the grup's self -titled debut n PlyGram. By the time f the band's sphmre album, 989's "Falta Amr," its first with Warner, Gnzalez and Olvera had taken ver as the grup's sle prducers and writers. A year later, Ulises Callers stepped dwn t becme the grup's manager -a pst he still hlds -and Sergi Vallin, a virtus with a backgrund in classical music and rck, stepped in. Tday, the grup's easy familiarity is apparent during a listening sessin held in a suite at Miami's Epic Htel that begins with a viewing f the DVD. The 0- minute mvie was directed by Mexican filmmakers van Lpez Barba and Ruben Bañuels, wh installed hidden cameras in the studis where the band recrded, in Ls Angeles, Miami, Brazil, Mexic City, Guadalajara and the grup's wn studi in Puert Val - larta.

"We even used analg tape n 'Lluvia al Crazn' and'clandestinó [the last tw tracks recrded], and yu hear the difference," Gnzalez says. "We wanted t d it, and hw cl that we can d it if we feel like it. We have n ne cntrlling either ur artistic visin r ur budgets." Since 995's "Cuand ls Angeles Llran" Maná has paid its wn recrding csts.

Grups like Chile's La Ley and Mexic's Mltv and Cafe Tacvba were able t nt nly fill stadiums but als tlfl.reds f th0t..s'' rds. The advent f MTV Latin America nly seemed t further slidify a mvement that went beynd a trend. Tday, hwever? La Ley has disbanded, Cafe Tacvba recrds and perfrms nly intermittently, and upand- cming grups like Zé and Panda have made few inrads utside f Mexic. Maná, meanwhile, has utsld and utlasted mst f its cmpetitrs during its tw -decade span. "They entertain the masses under the banner f rck," says Flavi Mrales, senir VP f prgramming fr bilingual TV channel mun. "They knw wh they are and have stayed true t their rts while appealing t all ages." Maná has sld an average f 500,000 units in the United States, accrding t Nielsen SundScan, fr each album it has released since the early '90s. The grup has als cnsistently sld mre than five times the number f albums cmpared with well -knwn acts like Cafe Tacvba, Mltv and El Tri by fstering relatinships with its audiences them," Olvera says. "Many artists dn't d it that way because they dn't want t spend the mney, but we want t make it as gd as we can. That's why we pay fr it, nt the crn - pany. We dn't even buy Evian. We dn't drive Ferraris. We spend all ur dugh in the best studis and n the best guitars. The industry is dwn, but still, this album is csting 30 %- 0% mre than the last ne." And Warner thinks it's ging t sell as many cpies f "Drama y Luz" as it did f Maná's last album - "Amar Es Cmbatir" sld. millin cpies wrldwide, accrding t the label, at a time when music sales in mst Latin cuntries had fallen t all -time lws. Nw, sme f thse markets, including Brazil and Argentina, have seen a rise in music sales. "Drama y Luz" will be released in 0 cuntries, and Maná will prmte it extensively beynd the United States and traditinal Latin markets int Brazil, where it has a strng sales histry, as well as Spain. All sngs n "Drama y Luz" were penned by sme cmbinatin f Olvera and Gnzalez, wh as usual prduced the album, and als by Vallin, wh fr the first time served as c- prducer. rnically, the first single, " Lluvia al Crazn," was the last sng t make it nt the album, recrded nly in January after the band deemed the set nt "cked" enugh. Written by Olvera, it's an uptemp pwer -rck track that will premiere n pp radi statins arund the wrld -mre than 500 at press time -at a precise, yet- unannunced hur n March. The track, which the grup will perfrm live during the Billbard Latin Music Awards n April 8, is a departure frm the midtemp rck that has defined many f Maná's biggest hits. "We felt it was the strngest, mst impactful track," Warner Music Latin America VP f marketing Gabriella Martinez says. "And we felt it reflected the evlutin f Maná but with the same magic that's characterized the grup." A SURGE As strng as Maná's sales and turing have been fr the past tw decades, the grup gained new impetus and radi supprt with "Amar Es Cmbatir," which aside frm its tur numbers, yielded three N. ls- "Labis Cmpartids," "Ben - dita Tu Luz" and " Manda Una Señal " -n Billbard's Ht Latin Sngs chart. Prir t that, the grup had scred seven tp los n the tally, but nly ne chart -tpper (003's "Maripsa Traicinera"). The surge can be attributed at least in part t the additin f Medina (wh frmerly wrked with Ricky Martin), a veteran manager and cncert prmter, t "As sn as Maná gt t a certain level they were able t gain mmentum by aggressively setting up tu dates and taking advantage f spnsrships that helped them get t a new place in music," says Mariluz Gnzalez, c -hst f "Travel Tips f Aztlan," a Ls Angeles -based wrld - music radi shw that regularly features Latin sngs. "Having a healthy turing schedule makes all the difference, and nt a lt f rck band have this pprtunity." n rugh ecnmic times, Maná'SJ lngevity has been an asset. As they music industry cntinues t struggle,) Gnzalez says, labels can lk t the grup fr slid sales in a shaky ecn -i my while it verlks mre experimental bands. "The industry is s segmented nw," Gnzalez says. "n the United States we make music fr segments f thej ppulatin. n ther cuntries they make music fr the wrld. That's why Juanes and Shakira are ppular." Maná's management team. This time, aside frm the single push, Maná will hld album signings and give acustic perfrmances in Ls Angeles, New Yrk, Miami and Puert Ric the week f release, with each event backed by a different radi netwrk, including Univisin Radi, Spanish Bradcasting System and Superestrella. Warner is als running an extensive ad campaign that will air n Univisin and Telemund as well as n ESPN. itunes will release "Drama y Luz" as an itunes LP with tw bnus tracks, and Warner is negtiating with a mass merchant fr anther exclusive versin. The label is als designing an nline Maná game and interactive features that will allw fans t perfrm n the band's tracks nline. Spnsrship deals haven't yet been annunced, but Medina is currently negtiating the band's tur and its spnsrships, bth in the United States and abrad. Maná typically plays 0-0 shws per seasn, mst f them in arenas and stadiums. The grup kicks ff the Drama y Luz tur June - at Mexic's Auditri Nacinal befre launching its first U.S. leg that will include 5 arena shws. As was the case with the Amar Es Cmbatir tur, Medina him - selfbks the shws, which in turn are presented in different territries by different prmters. n the States, Maná is wrking with Live Natin and AEG as well as with independent prmters Henry Cardenas f Cardenas Marketing Netwrk and Ari Kaduri, bth f whm have wrked with Maná fr many years. The grup then travels thrugh Latin America and Spain befre returning t the United States and Mexic. Band members have asked that ticket prices remain the same as n the last tur, and in what has becme a Maná traditin -and in sharp departure frm any ther majr Latin act -nt a single ticket will cst mre than $00. " sund like a brken recrd abut ticket prices but yes, think it has everything t d with [their success]," AEG Live/ Gldenvice VP f Latin talent Rebeca Len says. "They knw their fans' threshld fr tickets and they never g beynd that. This creates fan lyalty because they feel appreciated by the artist. als think ne f the main reasns they are s successful is because they have always seemed t see their career as a marathn, nt a sprint. They take their time with things in rder t make sure they are ding it right. That sends a message f cnfidence, which in turn makes peple believe in them even mre." One f the sngs that Maná will likely perfrm n the tur is "Latinamerican," an anthemic track penned by Gnzalez -the nly U.S. citizen in the grup -that is a call t actin against racism and discriminatin and the nly vertly scial r plitical sng n the new album. Maná is ne f the pineers f scial cnscience in Latin music. The grup's Selva Negra Fundatin, created in 995, wrks specifically with envirnmental effrts, including refrestatin thrughut Latin America, the upkeep f tw turtle habitats in Mexic (mre than millin f the creatures have been released t the sea), cnstructin f lw- incme husing and wrk with multiple native ndian cmmunities. Nw, Maná is in the midst f its mst ambitius envirnmental campaign, wrking with the Mexican gvernment t create mandatry envirnmental and ethics classes in elementary schl curriculum. While Maná's message is subtly fund in many f its sngs, there's nthing nuanced abut " Latinamerican," which Gnzalez began writing in 009. t dvetails with the grup's vcal supprt f the United States' DREAM Act (Develpment, Relief and Educatin fr Alien Minrs), which wuld prvide a path t citizenship fr undcumented cllege students. "We dn't really talk abut [U.S.] plitics because we're Mexican," Olvera says, nting that the band has nevertheless met with pliticians like Secretary f State Hillary Rdham Clintn n the matter. "But human rights are universal. And this is smething we supprt. We're very cnnected t the Latins wh are wrking here, wh have left their families behind fr a dream. We believe Maná has influence in this cuntry, and can mve its cnscience a little bit." Fr a track -by -track preview f "Drama y Luz" in Maná's wn wrds, g t Billbard. crn. MARCH, 0 7

18 BLLBOARD MARCH A i PP THEY DON'T HAVE HT RECORDS. THEY AREN'T SGNED TO A LABEL. THEY JUST SOLD OUT TWO SHOWS AT BOSTON'S TD GARDEN. SOME SAY DSPATCH S THE GRATEFUL DEAD, OR PHSH, ALL OVER AGAN. BUT FOR THS BAND T'S ABOUT HARDCORE FANS AND "DESTNATON DATES" -LESS S MORE. BY CORTNEY HARDNG and RAY WADDELL f yu attended cllege in the Nrtheast in the late '90s r early 'OOs, yu have prbably seen a Dispatch shw. Even if yu didn't make an effrt t see the band play a frat party, r a benefit, r just a Friday night gig in the basement f sme drm, yu walked by them when they played Spring Fling, r at the very least, saw ne f their stickers plastered n a tll bth n the Massachusetts Turnpike. But if yu spent thse years in the traditinal music business, yu might have fainted when a band yu'd never heard f -a band whse best -selling album, "Gut the Van," has mved 03,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan -sld ut three nights at New Yrk's Madisn Square Garden in 007. And nw, fur years later, Dispatch is back again, selling ut dates acrss the cuntry as it gears up fr a summer tur. The act has remained unsigned fr its entire career, althugh the grup eventually struck sme distributin deals, first with Kch /DCN in 00, then with Universal Music Grup Distributin in 00, thrugh an imprint deal with band manager Steve Bursky's Fundatins Recrds. Dispatch is a party band -rtsy rck with hints f ska, funk and reggae -that manages t pull ff gd, explicitly plitical sngs as well. The perfect cllege -gig band has becme the ultimate destinatin -date turing phenmenn. Dispatch's stry is as ld as the Grateful Dead -tur like crazy, build a base, cnnect with fans n a persnal level and make accessible music. But its stry is als intensely mdernbecause unlike many artists, the members f Dispatch think Napster was the best thing that ever happened t them. BASEMENT TAPES Frm the mment the band gt rlling, Dispatch seemed t have a desire t defy expectatins. Rather than hire an experienced manager t guide its career, the band partnered with Burskynw knwn as the head f Fundatins Management and the man behind Owl City. But back then he was a student at the University f Pennsylvania, withut any industry experience. Bursky first met the band when it played a fd bank benefit that he rganized as a high schl student. " didn't have a desire at the time t be in the music business," he says. "But was s in lve with the band, and bsessed with the energy just felt like being invlved in... a really exciting prject." Bursky started cld -calling venues and secured a spt pening fr the Samples in 000 at New Yrk's rving Plaza. But he realized that playing the standard club circuit wasn't ging t be enugh t mve the band frward. Dispatch recrded and pressed CDs t sell at shws, but it didn't have a frmal distributin netwrk. "They played pretty much every cllege in the Bstn area. n 000, 00, they were n the rad a cuple hundred days a year. And they als paid a lt f attentin t the prep schl circuit. Thse kids fell in lve with the band, and then wuld scatter themselves arund the cuntry, and tell their friends abut it." Prep schl chatter spread nly s far, thugh. n 00, the band started turing utside the Nrtheast market and drew upwards f,000 kids at shws in places like Chicag and Min- neaplis, despite having almst n physical distributin in thse cities. "Kids [wh'd seen them in the Nrtheast] wuld call up their friends in San Francisc, and Denver, and Austin, wherever, and tell them abut Dispatch, this band that they just saw, and tell them t g check them ut n Napster," Bursky says. " was literally sitting in my drm and kids frm all ver the cuntry were telling me abut the band - was already invlved with them." Dispatch frntman Pete Francis credits Napster with getting his band's music ut t the masses -and in 00, he even accmpanied Napster funder Shawn Fanning t Washingtn, D.C., t testify n the file- sharing netwrk's behalf. But, he admits, "nt a lt f bands had the same success with Napster that we had." The band's Napster traffic was equivalent t having its CDs in every market in the cuntry-but withut having t push students t actually purchase the recrds. That's what happened with Rss Martin, a 9- year -ld Denver fan wh runs a Dispatch fan blg (dispatch0.blgspt.cm). During his freshman year at Clrad University, he and his friends discvered Napster and began dwnlading music, including the Dispatch track "The General." "We knew almst nthing abut the band," Martin says. "But that sng never gt ld. We wuld have 50 peple in a rm dancing and singing alng." Martin lst track f the band fr a bit, but never frget the sng, and he was thrilled t rediscver Dispatch n Pandra. "n 007 heard a recrding f their MSG shw n a lcal HD statin and became a really big fan again," he says. " went ut and bught all f their music at that pint." Francis nw lks mre like a cl dad (and technically is ne, with an infant sn at hme) than a rcker. "N ne wants t have their wrk stlen," Francis says. But he maintains that Napster caused mre gd than harm, at least in his band's case. "We went t play in Pmna, Calif., and kids were singing alng and knew every wrd. Fr a band like urs, the nly way t get that kind f expsure was Napster." Fr the remainder f the early part f the 000s, Dispatch cntinued t tur, but in 00 decided t split, due t internal DSPATCH WEBSTES: DispatchMusic.cm, Facebk.cm /Dispatch, Dispatch t.

The grup had been mving up n the turing circuit, ging frm playing parties t gyms and sme festivals. Thugh the members' careers were grwing steadily, Bursky says they were willing t sacrifice making mney t save their relatinship. They'd already been n smething f a hiatus since 00, when they played a free shw at New Yrk's Central Park Sum - merstage (with a capacity f abut 5,000), with a little -knwn flkie named Jack Jhnsn pening fr them. Many fans, after the breakup was annunced, assumed it was Dispatch's last New Yrk shw ever. THE LGHTS OF THE GARDEN n 007, Bwery Presents partner Jim Glancy had a lunch meeting with Bursky, wh was managing Stephen Kellgg & the Sixers and Zx at the time, and Dispatch came up. Thugh the band hadn't played live since 00, and hadn't played New Yrk since 00, Glancy believed there was pent -up demand fr the grup. He knew the shws wuld be "destinatin" gigs, and with the idea that a fan flying in fr ne night wuld likely stay fr tw, apprached the Garden with the idea f a dubleheader. Dates at the 0,000 -seat Garden are bviusly valuable and multiples are very much cveted, but Glancy and Bwery tk a leap f faith bking tw shws fr a risky venture like Dispatch. t was summertime, after all, when the venue's primary sprts tenants are inactive and pen nights are a bit easier t cme by. The Garden was initially hesitant, but the building held the nights. The risk paid ff: The shws went n sale in January f that z á 8, 0

(Demand was s verwhelming that a third night was added.) The three shws grssed $,78,79 with attendance f 55,83, accrding t Billbard Bxscre. "The dates were histric," MSG Entertainment COO Melissa Ormnd says. "Dispatch became the first -ever unsigned band t play a sld -ut shw at the wrld's mst famus arena." "The MSG shws pened everybdy's eyes," says Dave Marsden, lead prmter fr Live Natin's Bstn ffice. " distinctly remember Jim Glancy had made an ffer fr Madisn Square Garden fr Dispatch, and the reactin here was like, 'That's ballsy. What makes him think they can sell ut a real arena at a real ticket price in New Yrk City?' " Glancy's cnfidence hadn't simply cme ut f thin air - Dispatch's last shw, held at the Hatch Shell at the Bstn Esplanade, had drawn a huge crwd, but the shw was free, held n the band's stmping grunds and billed as "the last Dispatch." Many fans thught they'd never see the grup again. "A big crwd at the Esplanade is 0,000 r 30,000, and this thing drew ver 00,000," Marsden says. " dn't care if it's free r yu pay peple t g, 00,000 peple is smething." And then, just as sn as it had cnquered the Garden, the band disappeared again -until Nvember 00, when the grup launched Dispatch t!, a special feature n its website, Dispatch - Music.cm. Dispatch t! enabled fans t uplad phts and vides f their favrite Dispatch mments thrugh the years. Then, n Jan., the band members annunced they wuld give away their entire studi album catalg t any fan wh fllwed a few steps -including friending Dispatch n Facebk, fllwing it n Twitter and sending five friends an e -mail abut an upcming tur. Thusands f fans tk advantage f the ffer, made pssible because Dispatch never signed a label deal and wns the digital rights t its album catalg. The prmtin went viral, big -time. " wish culd say it's marketing genius, but it's nt," Bursky says. "t starts with the music and the message. Smething abut what these guys sang abut... what these guys std fr.. their audience, was always s real. Fans felt that because Dispatch always was kind f the anti- crpratin, anti-big establishment, anti- recrd label band... they were lved by their fans. fetl Ìn ummmw fr knwing abut Dispatch." Because Dispatch had s much success with presales fr the 007 Garden shws, selling ut tw f the three nights thrugh presales alne, it decided t d the same thing this time arund. n effect, the Dispatch American Express pre - sale is actually the n -sale. "The stry is really direct marketing," Marsden says. The phenmenn is very back t the future. "The Grateful Dead used t get half the building as an alltment fr their Grateful Dead ticketing peratin t their hardcre fans and travelers and peple that wanted t see all the dates. Yu'd g int a shw with half the huse sld ut befre yu ever brke an ad. This is srt f a thrwback t that, but n a whle new level." The summer dates will be prduced by varius prmters, including AEG Live, and Bwery and Live Natin will take Dispatch back t Bstn, where they have bked three nights at the TD Banknrth Garden -tw f which have already sld ut, while the third is selling briskly. Dispatch c- manager Daltn Sim is based in Bstn. "He came t us and said... Dispatch wanted t d a very limited number f dates ver the summer," Marsden recalls. "Destinatin shws at special places... They wanted t lk at a number f shws in Bstn, nt just a ne -nighter." Of curse, Marsden was tasked with dispatching a bit f band educatin first. "The fun part fr me was calling my friends at the [TD Banknrth] Garden and saying, ' need t hld three days fr Dispatch,' " Marsden says. "Dead silence. chuckled and said... 'Get n Ggle, read the histry, check it ut.' The next day they came back and said, 'Hw can we make this happen?' " Beynd Bstn, ther shws are ding well. n Harrisn, N.J., Glancy and Bwery will prmte the tw inaugural cncerts at the 5,000 -seat Red Bull Arena. Dn Strasburg, VP f AEG Live Rcky Muntains, the band's Denver -area prmter, called Dispatch's American Express presale (fr shws set fr June 3-5 at Red Rcks Amphitheatre in Mrrisn, Cl.) "truly epic," adding that mving 0,000 tickets in a single market thrugh a presale is pretty much unheard f. "t's nce again prf that tday's musicians can perate cmpletely independently and reach the highest pinnacles," Strasburg says. Marsden says Dispatch's develpment ran parallel t what Phish did: "Except Phish kept ging. Dispatch, yu culd prbably list their entire majr shw histry n ne piece f paper. They never tured extensively n a majr level; they just develped this fllwing that shws up in varius places. t's remarkable." And Glancy believes Dispatch can d this srt f thing again and again. "They're a smart bunch f guys, and [agents] Steve Daltn and Frank Riley [at High Rad Turing] are pretty smart guys as well," Glancy says. "The way they're ding this, it desn't versaturate the market. 'm sure they still have 0 r 5 key markets that, if they were t annunce new dates this year, next r whenever, the lcal fans are ging t be berserk waiting fr them. t's a great strategy." "We're the type f band that gets passed dwn," frntman Francis says. Because the band has played s many cllege shws, it will prbably be frever linked with memries f carefree times, and wh wuldn't want t revisit thse days fr a few hurs, and bring sme friends alng? And while plenty f acts play the cllege circuit, Dispatch's ubiquity in certain markets, where yu saw them 0 times if yu saw them at all, makes it an integral part f the experience. Glancy isn't sure what the future hlds fr Dispatch, but he'll be paying attentin. "Yu'll see them d even mre interesting and different things," he says. "They'll fllw their wn path. can't wait t see what it is, but knw it will be cl." MARCH, 0

20 BLLBOARD MARCH SNGER /SONGWRTER SKYLAR GREY (THE FORMER HOLLY BROOK) JONS NCK MNAJ, BRUNO MARS AND KE$HA: ARTSTS WHO SPN GUEST SPOTS NTO GOLD BY GAL MTCHELL The stry reads like a page ut f Cinderella.0. Against all dds, a yung, relatively unknwn artist is chsen t sing the hk she penned fr a track by a high - prfile rapper. Nt nly that, she's als asked t perfrm the single n the industry's biggest music stage: the Grammy Awards. And the singer nails the perfrmance. S much s that she becmes a tp trending tpic n Twitter, and her phne starts ringing ff the hk with mre cllabratin requests. n the meantime, the clck shws n signs f striking midnight as the singer /sngwriter is als busy finally fulfilling a lngtime dream: writing and recrding her wn sl album. That scenari is just what happened t Skylar Grey, wh, alng with Eminem, is featured n Dr. Dre's secnd single frm his lng- awaited "Detx" album, " Need a Dctr." Bwing at N. 5 and simultaneusly nabbing Ht Sht Debut hnrs n the Billbard Ht 00 after the Grammys, the single -c- written by Grey -is N. 0 n the chart fllwing the vide's Feb. premiere n MTV and Vev. Grey als anchrs tw mre slts n the Ht 00: as a featured vcalist /c- writer n Diddy -Dirty Mney's "Cming Hme," which peaked at N., and Lupe Fiasc's "Wrds Never Said," anther Grey c -write that debuted at N. 89. She als wrte T..'s "Castle Walls," featuring Christina Aguilera. An artist being featured n a hk isn't an riginal cncept. But it's a cncept that has claimed mre added value as a career launching pad in the past year, thanks t the slid chart and sales emergence f such newcmers as Nicki Minaj (Usher's "Lil Freak "), Brun Mars (B..B's "Nthin' n Yu") and Ke$ha (Fl Rida's "Right Rund "). And gallping headlng int 0, Grey isn't the nly featured guest eyeing a prmising sl career. There's fellw singer /sngwriter Dev, slated t release her first album this summer after guesting n Far *East Mvement's N. sng "Like a G6." Als in the wings: singers Wynter Grdn, Bridget Kelly and Eva Simns (see stry, right). "t's the trend f 00 and beynd f majr artists giving pprtunities t lesser artists t be featured," says Universal Music Publishing Grup senir VP f creative affairs Jennifer Blakeman, wh signed Grey abut five years ag. "We've seen artists like Nicki Minaj and Brun Mars seemingly crning ut f nwhere int public fcus based n features. And nw it's Skylar ging frm zer t 90 playing n the Gram - mys within six mnths f her nminated sng being released." That nminated sng was Eminem's "Lve the Way Yu Lie," featuring Rihanna; it was up fr bth sng and recrd f the year, as well as best rap sng. t was her first cllabratin with prducer Alex Da Kid, a pairing prpelled by Blakeman's gut instinct last July when Grey visited her in New Yrk with a bunch f new sngs penned during a cabin sjurn in the Oregn wds. " had all this new music and didn't knw what was ging t d with it," says Grey, wh was brn and raised in Wiscnsin. " was getting disillusined [after a previus deal with Warner Brs.] but at the same time knew there was nthing else wanted t d - had n plan B. Then was intrduced t Alex Da Kid via and a week later we were sending music back and frth." Writing since she was and singing since age 6, Grey is n stranger t the Billbard charts. Under the mniker Hlly Brk, she guested n Frt Minr's N. 006 hit, "Where'd Yu G." Thugh sung by Rihanna, it was Grey's penned hk n "Lve the Way Yu Lie" that pened the dr t mre high -prfile cllabratins and her buzzed - abut guest features thrugh Alex Da Kid -wh prduced " Need a Dctr," "Cming Hme" and "Wrds Never Said." She has since becme the nly artist signed t a prductin deal with the prducer. The pair is currently wrking tgether n sngs fr her upcming sl album. "Peple wanting t cver chruses 've written is awesme and has created a platfrm fr me t be an artist," Grey says. And she hasn't altered her technique in any way in the wake f her success.

23 3 SPECAL FEATURE n, \R \V/ Reignitin The Fire LONG A SOURCE OF TALENT FOR THE WORLD, CANADA CONFRONTS SALES CHALLENGES AT HOME BY KAREN BLSS The Canadian music business enjyed a night f pride and jy n Feb. 3 as Arcade Fire culminated a rise frm its rts in Mntreal t a dark -hrse victry at the Grammy Awards, winning album f the year fr "The Suburbs" (Merge Recrds). Fr the band, the acclaim has fllwed years f determined artist develpment. (The grup was tipped as an "act t watch" in Billbard's annual Canada special feature in 005.) Canada cntinues its lng traditin as a wellspring f talent in a range f genres, with Justin Bieber, Drake, Michael Bublé and Nickelback ranking amng Billbard's tp artists f 00. Yet as music executives gather fr Canadian Music Week March 9-3 in Trnt (see stry, page 5), they face a challenging and changing sales envirnment. Dmestic album sales last year were dwn frm 009, based n award certificatins f the Canadian Recrding ndustry Assn. (CRA). Labels are trying t adjust, fcusing mre n digital singles sales, lking at mini -albums as a frmat fr artist debuts and devising mre partnerships t break artists acrss brders. "The sng- driven nature f ur business has never been mre prnunced since the '60s," Universal Music Canada president /CEO Randy Lennx says. "There's a lesser crrelatin between an immense success f digital sng sales and the album sales." The rck genre remains slightly better fr album sales, but it's extremely difficult t break a rck act because it's a pp wrld. Of the 5 tp -selling Canadian acts f 00 dmestically, nly three were rck bands: Arcade Fire, Hedley and Nickelback. Runding ut the tp 5 were Bieber and Jhnny Reid (with three albums apiece), Bublé, Drake, Bbby Bazini, Rch Visine, k.d. lang and Sarah McLachlan. Thirty-ne Canadian acts were certified gld (0,000) last year, 7 platinum and five duble - platinum cmpared with 5 gld, platinum and five duble -platinum in 009. "Album certificatins are trending dwnward significantly frm 009 t 00," CRA VP f cmmunicatins Amy Terrill says. "Digital certificatins are shwing sme gains, reflecting the newness f the market, but there remains a great deal f grund t recver." As fr perfrming rights ryalties cllected n behalf f the mre than 00,000 Canadian cmpsers, authrs and music publishers, the final 00 figure is still being finalized, accrding t rights sciety SOCAN. During 00, SOCAN CEO Eric Baptiste says, "the recessin was still impacting lts f businesses that use music in Canada. S the first quarter was tugh and we've seen an imprvement ver the year." S the trend fr ryalty cllectins may be brighter. Baptiste estimates 00 cllectins will hit apprximately $50,000 Canadian ($5,000), a rise f nearly 8% ver 009. Canada is still playing catch -up with the United States, where the market is split equally between physical and digital sales. n Canada, digital sales made up 0% f the verall market in 009, accrding t the CRA. Figures aren't yet available fr 00. Universal's Lennx has dne his wn infrmal assessment f the sales figures and ffers sme psitive findings. "When yu're bundling digital singles using the equivalency thery -which is every 0 sngs sld equals ne album -we're nt in such bad shape," he says. "Let me give yu an example: Fefe Dbsn's album [ "Jy "], we've nly sld 0,000 [units], whereas previusly we might have sld 50,000. But we've sld 60,000 Breakthrugh: The Grammy Award victry by ARCADE FRE affirmed the pwer 'Stuttering' dwnlads and 80,000 f 'Ghst,' " he says, citing tw f Dbsn's singles. "That's 0,000 dwnlads. [S] using the 0- sngsper -album equivalency, Fefe Dbsn is really at,000 [album units]. Thse numbers are pretty darn gd. t's just cnverted int a different [frmula]." Lennx says that a number f acts, such as Bieber and Dwn With Webster, are als pting t release mini -albums (abut seven sngs) instead f traditinal -length albums. "That mdel is wrking because the attentin span f yuth is far less," he says, adding that "the likelihd f an artist getting seven killer new sngs versus is a great deal mre practical." Jel Carriere is ne indie executive excited by the industry changes. Carriere is president f Dine Alne Recrds in Trnt and his rster includes Canadian acts Alexisnfire, City and Clur, Ht Ht Heat and Tky Plice Club, as well as Australian act Children Cllide and reland's James Vincent McMrrw. "'m watching all the majrs turn int service huses in Canada," says Carriere, whse label is distributed by Universal in Canada. "t just pens up pprtunities fr a smaller indie t maneuver because they're nt able t pay attentin t everything. "'m nt saying it's 'death t the majrs,' " he cntinues. "There's still tns f mney [in thse cmpanies]. But we're able t be a little bit mre strategic n a glbal level and have different alliances with different [independent] labels arund the wrld. We're signing bands in sme different territries where we feel we have gd setups. [Trnt -based indie label] Arts & Crafts is ding similar stuff." Carriere ntes that his label is "ding a deal with Arts & Crafts fr City and Clur in Mexic, s between them and us and different indies, we're able t piece ut different territries and almst a la carte it. t's a less aggressive apprach than a majr signing us t the wrld and [hearing], 'By the way, we can't get yu the wrld s yu're stuck in Canada.'

But many Canadian turing executives are reprting a cmeback in the live entertainment market in spring and summer. "Things are definitely n the upswing and 'm seeing mre hlds frm my tw majr prmters, Live Natin and AEG, than saw at this time last year," says Tm Cnry, VP /executive directr f Sctiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontari.

Her album "Real Fine Place" hit N. n Billbard's Tp Cuntry Albums chart and the single "A Real Fine Place t Start" became her furth N.. n the spring f 006, she wn the Academy f Cuntry Music's tp female vcalist award. rí But that Octber, while Evans was cme. %v peting n ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," `t her 3 -year marriage t plitician Craig Schelske implded. She left the shw and pulled back frm her career t fcus n her three children. "t's like we hit a pause buttn," RCA Recrds Nashville VP f prmtins Keith Gale says. But after the self -impsed hiatus, Evans re- emerges March 8 with her first studi album in six years, aptly titled "Strnger." " can't believe that it's been that lng since 've had a regular studi album. Everything has changed since put ut 'Real Fine Place,' " she says f her previus studi set. "t's a cmpletely new wrld. The iphne wasn't even ut then. Nw lve t use Twitter." "We let her get her family life n track," Gale says. And nw we're picking up where we left ff with a great artist, a great singer and great sngs." He admits it was a "bit f a gamble because ut f sight, ut f mind in ur business [is an issue], but the fact that she decided t fcus her energy n her family as the main pririty is admirable." Evans is nw remarried t frmer University f Alabama quarterback Jay Barker, wh hsts his wn sprts radi shw. Evans and her three children relcated frm Nashville t Birmingham, Ala., where she and Barker's blended family includes his fur kids frm his first marriage. During her hiatus, RCA issued a greatest - hits cllectin and Evans perfrmed select cncert dates. She remained a presence at cuntry radi with such previus hits as "Suds in the Bucket," "Perfect" and "Brn t Fly." "As f," a new sng frm her hits set, peaked at N. n the Ht Cuntry Sngs chart. Nw, "A Little Bit Strnger," a sng Evans persnally intrduced at radi statins, is N. 5 n Ht Cuntry Sngs. "The reintrductin f Sara has been extremely gratifying," Gale says. "Cuntry radi has really welcmed her with pen arms, very much like a friend that yu haven't seen in a while." Evans says she was a little nervus abut taking s lng between studi albums. During her hiatus, she signed with a new manager, Spalding Entertainment's Clarence Spalding, wh has wrked with Brks & Dunn and handles Jasn Aldean. She credits Spalding with helping her keep things in perspective. "He kept saying, 'Dn't make any decisins based n fear,' " she recalls. "He said, 'Yu dn't need t think abut hw lng it's been. Yu just need t wait fr the right sngs, and if yu wait fr the right sngs, it will fall int place. f yu dn't wait fr the right sngs, and yu put ut sngs that yu dn't truly believe in, it's nt ging t happen.' " Evans c -wrte six f the album's 0 tracks, including the uptemp "Desperately," penned with lngtime friend Marcus Hummn, and "Ticket t Ride," written with Leslie Satcher. Evans als c -wrte "What That Drink Cst Me," a haunting ballad abut a wman's husband dying after a night drinking with friends, with her brther Matt and prducer Nathan Chapman. The album als includes tw cvers -a bluegrass update f her N. "Brn t Fly" and a renditin f Rd Stewart's hit "My Heart Can't Tell Yu N," which Nashville sngwriter Dennis Mrgan riginally intended as a cuntry sng when he wrte it with Simn Climie. Chapman, wh als prduces Taylr Swift, steered half the album and veteran Tny Brwn prduced the balance; Ls Angeles -based Marti Frederiksen prduced "Wildfire," a track he and Evans wrte with Kara DiGuardi. Evans will prmte the release with a perfrmance n "Gd Mrning America" n March 9 and is slated t tur this summer with Rascal Flatts. "We were away a little while, and we had sme wrk t d," Gale says f hw things are cming tgether fr Evans. "She was cmmitted t it and she did the wrk. Yu can't replace a great sng and hard wrk. t's a frmula that wrks." MARCH, 0

But Steve Martin's 009 cllectin, "The Crw: New Sngs fr the Five String Banj," earned the veteran actr nt nly a Grammy but the respect f the clse - knit bluegrass cmmunity. On March 5, Martin returns with "Rare Bird Alert," his secnd bluegrass album n Runder Recrds. " came in as an utsider, s didn't knw what the receptin wuld be like, but it was very warm," says Martin, whse "The Crw" netted the best bluegrass album Grammy in 00. "The [nternatinal Bluegrass Music Assn.] treated us very well. The Grammys treated us very well. culdn't have been happier. We reached a lt f bluegrass peple, and think we reached a lt f nn - bluegrass peple t." Runder VP f prmtin Brad Paul says Martin's skill and attitude helped him gain acceptance. "First and fremst the music spke fr itself, and Steve is a very humble fellw," Paul says. "He went t the nternatinal Bluegrass Music Assn. Cnference in Nashville, presented an award and perfrmed n the shw, then spent time afterward just hanging ut and meeting peple. That went a lng way in terms f the cmmunity. He's a genuine fellw and serius abut the music, nt just an interlper." Martin has played the banj fr years, but his fray int bluegrass began when Tny Trischka invited him t play n his 007 album, "Duble Banj Bluegrass Spectacular." Martin cntributed the sng "The Crw," which led t his recrding his debut bluegrass album, prduced by Jhn McEuen. "Rare Bird Alert" features 3 new tracks written by Martin. The Steep Canyn Rangers, wh have tured extensively with Martin, perfrm n the album and c -wrte three sngs. "My wife and her family like t vacatin in Nrth Carlina," he says f discvering the Rangers. The Martins invited them ver fr dinner and during a jam sessin, he became a fan. "[When started tur- ing] we asked them if they wanted t play and it was ne f thse lucky things where it just wrked ut," he says. "They liked ding the humr and they play well. t was just a miracle f a find." Prduced by Trischka, the album indudes a mix fvcal and instrumental tracks and features the Dixie Chicks n "Yu" and Paul McCartney n "Best Lve." " had met him three r fur times and we had mutual friends," Martin says f enlisting McCartney. "He was very " came in as an utsider, s didn't knw what the receptin wuld be like, but it was very warm. We reached a lt f bluegrass peple, and think we reached a lt f nn - bluegrass peple t." -STEVE MARTN gung -h. When we tld him, ' think we gt it,' he wuld say, 'Oh, let me d a few mre.' He was really sweet." "Rare Bird Alert" als features a live versin f "King Tut," Martin's 978 single frm his cmedy album "A Wild and Crazy Guy." "We d that in ur shw and it's a big hit," says Martin, wh established the Steve Martin Prize fr Excellence in Banj and Bluegrass last year t award wrthy pickers. " wanted t have a cuple f live tracks n there t let the audience knw that we d a live shw and it's a lt f fun." Martin, wh's als a nvelist, playwright and children's authr, penned tw sngs (including the instrumental title track) n the Canadian set f "The Big Year," a new cmedy abut bird watching c- starring Jack Black and Owen Wilsn that hits theaters in the fall. His wife suggested "Rare Bird Alert" as a sng title. "t's actually a real term that bird watchers use," Martin says. "They can call in t a ht line and find ut where a rare bird is hanging arund. Everybdy flcks t it." "Rare Bird Alert" is being issued in three frmats: the standard CD, vinyl and a deluxe editin that will include specially created playing cards featuring perfrmers n the album. During street week, Martin and the Steep Canyn Rangers will perfrm n "Late Shw With David Letterman" (March 6), "The View" (March 7) and "The Clbert Reprt" (March ). Martin and the Rangers will als perfrm at New Yrk's Highline Ballrm (March ) and Je's Pub (March 5-7) and the Music Hall f Williamsburg in Brklyn (March 9). n additin t servicing the album t mre than 00 bluegrass radi prgrammers and advertising in Bluegrass Unlimited, Paul says Runder plans t target Martin's film fans. "We will be bking ne f thse natinal ad campaigns in theaters," he says f tying int Martin's frthcming mvie "The Big Year." "We'll prbably fire up that campaign at the end f the summer leading int the film's release. That will be anther kind f secnd -phase pprtunity t [stir] awareness f the recrd." 30, 0

31 3 CU =.S ""ONS with MKE WATT ROCK BY MKAEL WOOD As Fate Wuld Have t Ten Years After Their Seminal Debut, Rival Schls Return With A New Album Walter Schreifels admits that he wuldn't have minded becming hugely famus as a result f "United by Fate," the much -hyped 00 debut by his New Yrk -based mdern -rck act Rival Schls. "That wuld have been great," says the singer /guitarist, wh prir t frming Rival Schls played in a string f influential punk acts, including Grilla Biscuits and Quicksand. "But if can't get that, 'm happy with having cnnected t sme peple with my music -with having the music have sme meaning." He says with a laugh, "The ther ptin is that n ne cares. 've ccasinally had that happen, t, and that's the wrst ne." As Schreifels acknwledges, "United by Fate" wasn't a blckbuster; it has sld 38,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. But thanks t the grup's pst -hardcre pedigree -ther members spent time in such bands as Judge, CV and Yuth f Tday -Rival Schls did accrue a kind f semi -legendary status amng the Vans Warped tur set befre disslving in 003. (The act returned t actin in 008 with a handful f Eurpean festival dates.) That reputatin is partly why it's taken 0 years fr Rival Schls t cmplete its sphmre disc, "Pedals," due March 8 frm Pht Finish /Atlantic. "We'd made this album that had taken n anther life, s the challenge f hw t fllw it up was in the back f ur minds the whle time," Schreifels says. "Yu knw yu can't tp it, s hw d yu write anther chapter?" The answer, it turned ut, was learning t stp wrrying. "Eventually realized it's fr ther peple t figure ut if this ne is better r wrse r whatever," he says. "We enjyed ding the recrd, and feel gd abut it." Pht Finish president Matt Galle shares Schreifels' lw -key thinking. "N ne's trying t get rich ff this prject," he says. "We just want t get the music ut t sme new peple. think that's why Pht Finish was appealing t the band: We reach a yunger audience that they haven't been expsed t yet." Other Pht Finish acts include Circa Survive frntman Anthny Green and Clrad electr -em jesters 30H!3. " grew up listening t all the bands they were in, s 'm hnred t be able t put ut this recrd." Rival Schls drummer Sammy Siegler, wh's currently serving as the grup's manager, says he and his bandmates were attracted t the label's scial- netwrking prwess, as well as t the fact that several executives frm sland Def Jam (which released "United by Fate ") are nw at Pht Finish parent Warner Music Grup. "There's smething nice abut having that cmmunity, even if it means yu have t give up mre," he says in reference t Rival Schls' 360 -style deal. Galle, wh als wrks as a bking agent in Paradigm's New Yrk ffice, says he'd lve t see the grup n tur later this year with a "buzz band" like Cage the Elephant r Manchester Orchestra. But he als pints t merchandise as an imprtant revenue stream fr Rival Schls: "Pedals" is available fr pre - rder at RivalSchls.net in a number f different bundles, including packages with clthing and sneakers. "There's definitely been an interesting shift in the business [since ur first recrd]," Schreifels says. "The financial mdels have changed. But my read frm Pht Finish is that they understand the realities f what's ging n." Mike Watt made indie -rck histry in the '80s with prvcative San Pedr, Calif., art -punk minimalists the Minutemen, ging n t frm alt -rck band Firehse after Minutemen leader D. Bn's death. Fr the last 5 years, Watt has crafted ambitius, eccentric sl albums, and since 003 he's been plugged int the raw pwer f ggy Pp as bassist fr the Stges. Watt's new sl uting, "Hyphenated- Man," is a 30 -sng "rck pera" inspired by the 53- year -ld icnclast's ruminatins n middle age. What d the 30 character sketches - "Funnel- Capped Man," "Muse- Headed Man " -n "Hyphenated -Man" represent? f yu tk a mirrr and brke it up int 30 pieces and put it in my head... that's really where this thing is suppsed t be taking place. The 30 different men are actually inspired by the creatures f this ld Dutch painter, Hiernymus Bsch. They were starting pints fr me t talk abut different perspectives. The big trip abut middle age, kind f gt this frm "The Wizard f Oz," that Drthy is lking at guys and seeing what they d t be guys -Tin Man and Lin and Scarecrw... that's what middle age is all abut- trying t size things up. An album f 30 shrt tracks seems smewhat Minutemen -esque. Was that intentinal? was kind f intrigued with the Minutemen way f making little sngs; listened again when they were making that "We Jam Ecn" dcumentary [abut the grup]. After D. Bn gt killed [Bn died in a van accident in 985], it was hard fr me t listen t that music. Hearing it again, it was like, "This idea f biling dwn sngs int little things was really interesting. Why nt try that again- withut cpying the Minutemen, but use that frmat t tell this big stry?" als wrte the whle thing n D. Bn's guitar. t was kind f an emtinal thing. kind f wish he was in these middle years with me. 3 Hw d yu view the Minutemen's place in suthern Califrnia punk histry? We were part f a scene in a weird way. can't even envisin the Minutemen withut that punk mvement, because befre that, me and D. Bn were in the bedrm cpying Creedence [Clearwater Revival] and Blue Oyster Cult. We never even thught f music as expressin. t was mre like building mdels that kind f lked like the real thing. We didn't knw abut clubs yet. We never thught yu culd play fr peple; we never thught we might want t say smething thrugh music. t was that mve - ment- thught, "These cats are ding it," and it infected us. D yu still embrace the indie DY philsphy? The whle idea f nt having middlemen in the way fyur expressin... 've always tried t live that way. Like if wanted t talk t yu n a pay phne, AT &T's nt the mst indie f cmpanies, but they dn't jump n the line and start telling us what t say. There's always ging t be lame systems, s the ders have gt t take it n themselves a little bit, instead f just blaming the systems. That "Leaves f Grass" thing [Walt] Whitman did -he published that thing himself, and that's 60 years ag. Smebdy nce tld me, "The nly thing new is yu finding ut abut it." s Hw des it feel playing behind ggy Pp? He wrks very hard at a gig. And get s caught up in it -if a big garbage dispsal pened up nstage and he jumped in, 'd prbably jump in after him. t's like Captain Ahab r smething, getting yu all whped up in the trip f it. Once he tld me, "Mike, it's like 'm a shrtrder ck and 've gt t g ut t everybdy ut there and get their rder -'Yu want fries? Yu want a milkshake?' " 6 After making a middle- age -themed album, what's yur utlk n this phase f life? Yu made it that far, s yu're a little bit wiser, maybe. Yu actually knw hw little yu knw, that's what yu learn. Everybdy's gt smething t teach me, if 'm pen- minded enugh, instead f taking the cynical rute and saying yu've already been arund enugh. ain't been arund enugh. MARCH, 0

Fr his fllw -up, Tit was hard pressed t find a frmula that lived up t expectatins and smehw marry pp and urban sensibilities withut cmprmising. "nvencible" attempts t d all this. The album's track listing veers frm trpical t ballads t straight -ahead reggaetón, and it pairs Tit with a varied cast f characters that includes Daddy Yankee and Banda el Recd. Opener "Llueve el Amr," a wistful merengue with a children's chrus that adds a tuch f inncence, clearly fllws in the snic ftsteps f "E Amr."

S Lavigne starts her furth album, "Gdbye Lullaby," with... a plaintive de fr her new fragrance, Black Star. Cnsider it easing int the tpic at hand, which turns ut t be the sngstress' mst intimate and sul- baring set t date. Her usual spunk and sass appear in first single "What the Hell," but the majrity f "Gdbye Lullaby" features Lavigne wading petically int deeper emtinal waters and realizing that "lve hurts whether it's right r wrng." Prducing tw tracks by herself and aided elsewhere by Max Martin, Shellback, guitarist Evan Taubenfeld and ex- husband Deryck Whibley (f Sum ), Lavigne surveys lve lst and fund amid mstly acustic guitars, pian and strings. But it's nt all dur. She's decidedly in lve n several f these tracks, but it will clearly take mre than just anther "Sk8er Bi" t rck her wrld in the future. -GG gaetón beat. The standut here is the evcative bachata "Erams Niñs" (with Gilbert Santa Rsa and Hectr "El Trit" Acsta), which talks abut lst -and fund- inncence. These sngs stand n their wn, but the effrt t bridge every genre is perhaps t cncerted fr cmfrt. Still, Tit delivers an album fr many tastes. -LC THOMPSON SQUARE Thmpsn Square Prducers: varius Stney Creek Recrds Release Date: Feb. 8 When a Nashville cuple gets alng s well -at least n recrd -that they have t write a sng abut frcing themselves t fight, yu knw it's nt Gerge Jnes and Tammy Wynette we're talking abut. Thmpsn Square's Keifer and Shawna Thmpsn, wh've been married years, are in lveydvey nirvana n their self -titled debut -smetimes t hkey extremes, as heard n tracks " Gt Yu" and "Getaway Car." And even when there are rare hints f discrd n "f t Takes All Night" and " Dn't Want t Miss Yu," they're tempered by a reslve t make things right -quickly. The harmny als extends t the music n "Thmpsn Square," a peppy -track set that smthly straddles the pp- cuntry line with such uptemp fare as "My Kind f Crazy," "Let's Fight," "As Bad As t Gets" and "One f Thse Days." Elsewhere, "Are Yu Gnna Kiss Me r Nt" and "Wh Lves Wh Mre" fllw a twangier path. Maybe ne day these tw will really fire sme "bullets... aimed straight fr the heart." But fr nw, Thmpsn Square is happily and unaplgetically heart -shaped. -GG ROCK MOGWA Hardcre Will Never Die, but Yu Will Prducer: Paul Savage Sub Pp Recrds Release Date: Feb. 5 These trash -talking Scts have dne their quiet -lud niserck thing s cnsistently in the last decade -and -change that Mgwai's reunin here with its riginal prducer hardly makes a recgnizable impact. S why mentin it? Because, like the half -dzen lng- players that preceded it, "Hardcre Will Never Die, but Yu Will" finds the fivesme in reliably epic pseud- sundtrack mde, waxing their glacial pst -rck riffs until they gleam with equal parts menace and melanchly. A cuple f tracks feature liberally prcessed vcals, but the singing acts less as a meldic agent than as ne mre surce f instrumental texture. (That "Hardcre" marks Mgwai's fresh pact with Sub Pp fllwing a lng stint with Matadr appears t have affected the band's music abut as much as prducer Paul Savage's invlvement.) All that said, standuts d exist amng these 0 tracks, mst ntably the grgeusly fuzzy "Ran Pan" and "Letters t the Metr," a languid, pian -led slw jam. But if yu knw Mgwai, yu already knw "Hardcre."-MW MARTHA'S TROUBLE Anchr Tatt Prducers: Chris Rsser, Martha's Truble Aisling Recrds Release Date: Feb. With its 0th album, "Anchr Tatt," the Alabama -based husband -and -wife du Martha's Truble cntinues t intensify the mystery as t why it remains a hidden gem.

Here, she eschews the cnstrictive pian basis f her last release, 007's "White Chalk," fr warmer, mre varied sunds. The set was recrded live in a 9th - century church in her native Drset, England, with lngtime cllabratrs Jhn Parish, Mick Harvey and prducer Fld. While the sund is lser with strummed acustic guitar, sax, autharp and brushed drums, it cntrasts sharply with Harvey's thematic adherence t war, guns, bldshed and bleak landscapes. But that desn't mean yu wn't stmp yur feet t chants f "evil land" and "evil children." There's heady sampling including bits f "Reveille," a wman's Arabic chants n the sng "England" and the repeated Eddie Cchran line frm "Summertime Blues" ("'m gnna take my prblems t the United Natins ") that suddenly takes n gencidal implicatins. The standut mment, amng many, is the warbling track "Written n the Frehead" with a heavily prcessed psychedelic swirl dvetailing seamlessly with Niney the Observer's reggae classic "Bld and Fire." Warfare has never sunded better. -AG plished pp sund, evke cmparisns t 0,000 Maniacs' best wrk. Ultimately, the pair's uncmmn talent fr cntagius hks is the set's star, highlighted by the uptemp and meldic " Saw an Angel, "The Hiding" and "Red Dr" (the last f which rerecrded with lusher prductin after first appearing n the act's 008 EP). The twsme is equally adept at stripped - dwn ballads, with " Will Wait" a Valentine's Day lve- letter -in -sng. Having released its last full -length recrding, the standut "Frget Octber" (00), the cuple has since welcmed sns Wilsn (5) and Emery (3). Unsurprisingly, Martha's Truble's sthing, ptimistic air has nly deepened n "Anchr Tatt," which leaves keen triple A radi prgrammers n excuse nt t mine the album fr multiple hits. -GT TEDDY THOMPSON Bella Prducer: David Kahne Verve Frecast Release Date: Feb. 8 British singer /sngwriter Teddy Thmpsn certainly has a strng musical pedigree. The sn f flk -rck musicians Richard and Linda Thmpsn, Teddy hasn't gained much chart success in the United States, but his wrk has drawn psitive reviews and he's cllabrated with such respected acts as Rufus Wainwright and Keane. Thmpsn's newest album, "Bella," is a lgical fllw -up t his 008 release, ffering a similar mixture f flk, cuntry and sft rck. But the artist is at his best when delivering cuntry -influenced sngs, as heard n the cheerful single "Lking fr a Girl." And straightfrward lyrics like " guess it's gd lvin' that want the mst /Smene wh turns my bread int buttered tast" set the tne fr "Bella." The album almst exclusively features lve ballads, but " Feel" and "The One Can't Have" are standuts that breathe sme life int the cllectin. Elsewhere, tracks like "Over and Over" and "Hme" ditch the cuntry vibe in favr f mellw rck. -AW 3 BLLBOARD MARCH, 0

"t desn't matter if yu lve him r capital H - -M," Gaga says at the beginning f the sng. "Just put yur paws up, because yu were brn this way, baby."

And her March sphmre set, "Hundred Mre Years," has already yielded a tp 0 single with "This s the Stuff." Battistelli admits the success f her debut album caused sme nervusness ver her next prject.

Christian KCMS Seattle music directr Sarah Taylr credits Battistellí s appeal t her "crystal clear vcals and great pp sund. Speaking frm a female perspective, we smetimes view ther females as ur cmpetitin. We're wrried that we're nt gd enugh...

"That's been part f my spirit fr the past cuple f years: letting things happen versus attempting t frce anything." And that's hw his cultural dyssey in Russia came t fruitin. Christphe Charlier, Frte's friend and frmer Phillips Exeter classmate, suggested the tur. The deputy CEO f Onexim Grup and chairman f the bard fr the New Jersey Nets is prviding the funding in exchange fr a 50/50 share f the prfits.

And when it's time fr me nt t say anything else, wn't. wn't frce it." AFTER THE STORM Fllwing a recently settled, tumultuus legal battle with previus label Hidden Beach -which fund her cuntersuing the label's claim that she exited halfway thrugh a six -album deal last year- singer /sngwriter Jill Sctt has signed a distributin deal with Warner Brs.

Recrds president /CEO Tdd Mscwitz says is slated fr an early- summer release. While details abut the set are still under wraps, the Grammy Award -winning singer gave fans a sneak peek f what t expect when she perfrmed a track frm the prject during her 0 -city natinal arena tur with Maxwell last year. "Jill is ne f the mst imprtant artists ut there - nt pigenhled as a nesul r R &B artist, but as a career artist," Mscwitz says. "She shuld be making recrds 0 years frm nw. One f ur big gals is t help her grw as an internatinal artist, and we think that will supprt her lngevity." While marketing and branding plans are still in the preliminary stage, Mscwitz says that s far the label is "really impressed by all f the ideas that she is bringing t the table." Nt just limited t music, Sctt is als a published pet, actress and designer (she has an intimate apparel line with Ashley Stewart). Her mst recent film and TV credits include Tyler Perry's "Why Did Get Married T," HBO's "The N. Ladies' Detective Agency," Lifetime's "Sins f the Mther" and NBC's "Law & Order: SVU."

Unbeknwnst t sme fans f the sitcm, rapping is ld hat fr ne member f that unlikely tri. And n, it's nt White. Under the mniker Childish Gambin, Dnald Glver (Barnes) is preparing t shwcase his rhyming skills in a big way. His first natinwide tur, AMDONALD, kicks ff April 6 in Ames, wa. The -date trek will sptlight his stand -up cmedy and music, cmplemented by a vide cmpnent and visits frm "special guests in special ways," accrding t Glver. "We did preview shws in San Francisc and Ls Angeles," he adds, "and was really amazed at hw well they went. t just felt very 'me.' " While cnventinal hip -hp shws frequently feature guest stars frm rap's elite, Glver's gigs are mre likely t draw cmedy ryalty like Tina Fey. And while Childish Gambin's quick, crisp rhymes aren't cmedic in a nvelty way, the frmer "30 Rck" writer's quick- witted cultural references and imprv timing shine during his raps. Childish Gambin revealed his playful side in late February when he premiered his music vide fr "Freaks and Geeks," the first single ff his five - sng, nntitled EP that drps March 8. The vide, which features Glver dancing by his lnesme in a warehuse, has already racked up 69,000 Vime views (as f March 3). As with Glver's 00 full -length album, "CULDESAC," and previus EPs and mixtapes, he will ffer free dwnlads f all tracks frm the new EP n his website, lamdnald.cm. " never really had any plans t sell anything -nt t say 'm against it," Glver says with a hearty laugh. "But in the wrds f Lii Wayne, my music's free because it's priceless." Prir t his tur, Glver will hst the mtvu Wdie Awards n March 6 during Austin's Suth by Suthwest cnference.
