W3G Entertainment Group Signs San Francisco Modern Rock Band Miggs to Exclusive Marketing Services Agreement
While television based talent searches like American Idol and Star Search rely on gimmicks and comedy, W3G Entertainment Group continues to identify, develop and market talent successfully in an entirely unique and visionary way.
(PRWEB) March 11, 2004 -- As W3G Entertainment Group gears up for the launch of its anchor program, M.E.T.R.O Search, designed to help unsigned artists develop real opportunities in the music business, Georgia McBride, President and Founder announces the signing of an exclusive Marketing Services deal with San Francisco modern rock band Miggs.
"Miggs is like a breath of fresh air in the unsigned community," offers McBride. "They have sound management, great songs, professional and capable production, a loyal fan base and a history of successfully creating opportunities for themselves. So, when the opportunity presented itself to us, we could not turn it down."
Georgia will lead a team comprised of industry veterans including, among others, Janette Sheridan, former management representative for the Counting Crows. "The selection of experts like Janette Sheridan ensures Miggs access to the experience, knowledge and contacts equal to that of an act signed to a major label" exclaims McBride.
Influenced by U2 and early Counting Crows, Miggs delivers a new prolific and melodic rock sound, with emotionally charged lyrics and intoxicating vocals. Miggs will release its second album, produced by Gavin MacKillop (Toad the Wet Sprocket, Goo Goo Dolls, Barenaked Ladies, Sugarcult and more) in Spring 2004 with great anticipation by industry and fans alike; including Owen Sloane, veteran entertainment attorney who has worked with Matchbox 20, Elton John and Fleetwood Mac among others; who recognized the potential of Miggs early on and is considered a friend.
"As an increasing number of opportunities began to present themselves, we were particularly intrigued by W3G Entertainment's business model," says Kathleen Carpenter, Miggs' personal management representative of Shaman Entertainment. "W3G not only offers traditional marketing and promotional services, but also A & R Services, Tour Planning, access to Publishing deals, Promotion and Sponsorship opportunities through its leveraged industry relationships from coast to coast, all under one umbrella," Says Carpenter. Miggs has garnered national exposure through a soon to be released track off their Spring 2004 sophomore effort called "Be" having been featured in a promo spot for FOX's O.C. during American Idol and is now armed with a powerhouse of music-promotion related services, the powerful bundling of services that are usually accessible only to major label artists.
While it seems that the W3G deal together with having just completed its second album with acclaimed producer Gavin MacKillop places Miggs far ahead of its competition in that they are packaged so one could just add water," Miggs' goals for 2004 remain realistically modest: "Miggs intends to make some radical but incremental leaps in forging ahead, making its three year overnight success story into its four year overnight success story," says Carpenter.
With Miggs about to break out of the gate, W3G Entertainment Group has proven once again that we have a unique ability to discover, nurture and market talent," says McBride. I personally look forward to seeing Miggs presented with key opportunities in 2004."
