First sponsors announced for LAUNCH 2011!

LAUNCH is proud to announce its first sponsors for 2011! Without these great companies and brands, we wouldn't be able to bring you the event that we do!

Headlining this first wave of sponsors is PERFORMER MAGAZINE, a nationally distributed musician's trade publication, which focuses on independent musicians - both the unsigned and those on small labels, and their success in a DIY environment. The magazine is dedicated to promoting lesser-known talent and being the first to introduce readers to artists they should know about.

Joining PERFORMER in sponsoring the event is ATTICUS BLACK CLOTHING - a leader in fashion that is firmly grounded in the culture of music. ATTICUS was founded by BLINK 182's Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, no strangers to either music of fashion, as well as BLACK LODGE PUBLICITY, DEAN GUITAR, DDRUM, SONIC BIDS, ATRIUM AUDIO, THE CI COMPANIES and DECADENT SUITE RECORDS.

For more information on our sponsors, make sure you visit the Sponsor Page on our website. Make sure you support these fine brands and stay tuned for more news announcements about LAUNCH 2011!

Thanks for a great year!!!

Well, another LAUNCH has come and gone, and while everyone at LAUNCH central is about to get started brainstorming for next year - a huge thankyou to all of our participants! From the panelists, to the performers, to the trade show vendors, to attendees - and most importantly our sponsors - without whom LAUNCH couldn't exist.
