We need your help! MSI are elligible for the 2009 Kerrang Awards but it's YOU - the fans - who tell 'em who should win. First place some votes, then share this with as many friggin' friends as you can...only YOU can help us take this home. Spread the word on your MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, LiveJournal -- hell, anything goes...make YouTube videos or write it in sidewalk chalk near a busy venue or record store if you think it'll help. In exchange for your votes and promotion of the contest, we're going to be giving some lucky people an MSI prize pack including the Japanese 2 CD deluxe edition of "IF" (featuring 3 exclusive tracks, music videos, and the making of the "MDC" video)!
First, how you enter (cuz we know some of you just want free shit):
* Vote, vote, vote, vote, VOTE. Oh, and please vote. (details below)
* Send links of postings you've made on MySpace, Facebook, LiveJournal, message boards, YouTube, and anywhere else you can think of to sean@bratmarketing.com! Please compile everything into ONE e-mail and title it "MSI KERRANG VOTING CONTEST ENTRY" (one entry allowed each week)
* On Twitter, send the tweet Vote for @MSI in the Kerrang Awards at
http://bit.ly/VOTEMSI - Please RT. (we'll see it as long as you include "@MSI" in there)
* BTW, Please don't spam people when you post about the voting - it makes us look bad and actually hurts the cause.
And here's what you do (cuz in addition to free shit we know some of you just wanna share the love):
Focus your efforts! And focus them LOTS ASAFP cuz the final day for voting and entering the competition is July 19th. Because the votes are automatically tallied by a robot or some shit, we need you to all be entering the same stuff (no abbreviations or variables).
Please vote/type Mindless Self Indulgence for:
* Best Live Band
Please vote/type IF for:
* Best Album
And last but not least, please vote/type Mark David Chapman for:
* Best Single
* Best Video
While you're at it, if you feel so inclined, please vote for our friends in Placebo ("Best British Band") and Dir en grey ("Best International Band")...
You'll see live tallying as you vote (as of 7PM EST June 16th, we have 46,353 votes for "Best Live Band") so you can see exactly how much you're helping. And hell, in addition to a sweet MSI prize pack you can even win tickets to be AT the awards, just for voting (that's why they ask for your info when you go to the voting page)!
Oh, one last thing: You can vote AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT! Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge...
