A call to arms

Shackleton really tries hard to rock our guts out and I'd like to think that it shows.  People are getting more and more enthusiastic at our shows and being the attention whores that we are, we mop it up.  It's the enthusiasm that I want to make a plea to.  We need as much help as we can get.  We need help from artists to design logos, t-shirts, webpage backgrounds, an album cover, and anything else that Shackleton inspires them to create.  We need help from photographers for both studio pictures and live performance pictures.  We need people that know how to put together a great webpage.  We need people to blog about us, tell their friends about us, place our widgets on their websites.  Basically we will take any help we can get.

We have entered the Boru Vodka "Defend the Bar Band" contest and would love to make it into the Top 15 bands.  We need to ramp up the level of our online image to do this and we can't do it by ourselves.  So, if you can offer any services to us or know people that you think would be interested, please let me know.

What is in it for you?  Well, we are all kind of broke, so money will likely not be involved (at least for now)  But you will earn our gratitude that we won't soon forget and we will forever be looking for ways to payback the debts of gratitude to everyone that helps us along the way.  

What is the least you can do?  If you don't already have a Reverb Nation account, then go to www.reverbnation.com and sign up as a fan, add Shackleton as a favorite, add our songs to your playlists and share our music with people you know.  It is actually a pretty cool networking site built completely around music.  There are over 200,000 bands from all over the world that you can explore and listen to, there is a radio service that will play the type of music you want to hear.  The site has all sorts of different widgets and tools that all work very well.

Okay I'll get off my soap box, but please let me know if you can help and pass this blog along to people you know.
