XM Satellite Radio & Bon Jovi: 'Have a Nice Gig' Contest

Each band will then be entered into the semi-finals where the grand prize-winning band will receive a demo deal with AEG Records and open for Bon Jovi at Giants Stadium during the summer of 2006.

To enter, unsigned musicians living within 100 miles of the concert city must complete a brief application and upload one song at http://bonjovi.xmradio.com.

Bon Jovi Concert Multicast Tonight (plus some shamless self promotion)

Hey now this is pretty cool, I just noticed that the boys over at AOL Music have linked to Orbitcast as part of the Bon Jovi concert tonight. The concert is being multicasted by Network LIVE, the joint venture by XM Satellite Radio, AOL and AEG. You can watch it on AOL Music Live or if you've been listening to XM's Boneyard, or uhhh... BON-yard... then you've been hearing Bon Jovi all day long before the live concert tonight at 9pm. This is all part of the kickoff for Bon Jovi's new album Have a Nice Day. Definitely tune into the concert, and Orbitcast tips our hat to AOL Music in appreciation for the link-love.
