"We're all looking forward to going back to Holland," said band namesake Mortiis. "We haven't played there in a long time and we always had a great time there. We're also doing a couple of towns there we haven't played before, so that will be interesting as well."
Following the three Dutch shows, the band will head to Belgium for the Hermes Project Event, where they will play with Clan of Xymox.
Mortiis has been putting the finishing touches on "The Great Deceiver," the group's long-awaited follow-up to 2005's "The Grudge." Tracks from the record can be heard - and seen - via the videos for "Doppelganger" and "Zeitgeist" on Mortiis's YouTube channel. Mortiis also promises to preview several new songs during the live shows.
"We're gearing up to release 'The Great Deceiver' at long last, and it felt like it would make sense to do a few shows before 2009 comes to an end," Mortiis said. "Shake the dust off and get back into the 'live mode,' so to speak. We obviously plan on coming back to Holland/Belgium and as many other countries as possible during 2010."
Live dates are as follow:
12/16/09 Wed. Zaandam, Kade - NL 12/17/09 Thu. Basement, Watt - NL 12/18/09 Fri. Leeuwarden, Gloppe - NL 12/19/09 Sat. Hermes Project Event, O C DeVonke, Heule - BE

Mar 13, 2009, Promoting Smooth Jazz in the Changing Landscape of Terrestrial Radio and the InternetMUST READ: I hope you have time to read this and view the video link below... Deborah Lewow Forum: Promoting Smooth Jazz in the Changing Landscape of Terrestrial Radio and the Internet Deborah Lewow Deborah Lewow has more than thirty years’ experience in music promotion, mostly in the jazz genre. She is former Vice President of Jazz Promotion for Warner Brothers Records, and currently operates her own Atlanta, GA-based company, A/ rtist + R/ adio + T/ our + S/ ervices, where she represents artists working in smooth jazz. First things first.... Where are your consumers at? The old world music business is gone !!!! One thing is for sure in this crazy business, the music and the fans aren’t going away. Find the people who care about your music, passive radio isn’t going to do it.... The artist must optimize everything and anything that is unique about him and his/her music. Find a brand or find a record company who has a brand of artists like Mascot Records, or Shrapnel Records, Boosweet Records, or like Alligator Records, etc. This creates a branding umbrella of other great artists. This also creates collaborations between artists on the same label to get compilation CDs too. Spend your money on finding where your consumers are by where they are shopping and utilize the new internet technologies and tools to do just that. Such as; using community sites like MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, etc. to seek out your fans and drive them to your monetary sites.
Description: In this Loyola University, New Orleans forum with Artists House Music President John Snyder, jazz promoter Deborah Lewow talks about the changing roles of terrestrial radio and the internet, and the unique challenges of reaching smooth jazz listeners in today’s marketplace. Related topics include marketing budgets, promotion strategies, and the popularity of MySpace.

___ Have you analyzed the total market for your product or service (that is, your primary, secondary and referral markets)? Do you know which features of your product or service will appeal to different market segments?
___ In forming your marketing message, have you fully described how your product or service will benefit your customers?
___ Have you prepared a pricing schedule? What kinds of discounts do you offer, and to whom do you offer them?
___ Have you decided which media you will use in your marketing campaign?
___ What will the role of the internet be in your marketing?
___ Have you planned any special sales promotions?
___ Do your marketing materials mention any optional accessories or added services that consumers might want to purchase?
___ What type of customer service or support do you offer after the sale?
___ Have you obtained all necessary paperwork and metadata (if applicable)you need?
___ Is your packaging likely to appeal to your target market? Have you created different packaging for different markets?
___ If your product is one you can patent, have you done so?
___ How will you distribute your product?
___ Can your product or service be digitized, and what kinds of new challenges does this present?
___ Have you prepared job descriptions and operaton plans for all of the employees, contractors and interns needed to carry out your marketingplans?
Once you’ve answered the above to your satisfaction, you can feel free to move on to writing your plan.
First, some cautions about plans:
• Plans are provisional documents and not the final word – they are always in“draft” form. Plans are maps to help get you to your destination in the most costeffective way possible. Maps, however, are not the territory; therefore,
• Plans should be flexible so they can adapt to shifting circumstances – ongoing plan review is normal and crucial to undertake at least once every two weeks normally, and every day during a campaign. Mar 2, 2009, Article: Music Success Formulas
Article: Music Success Formulas By Jeffrey P. Fisher It seems people want to know a magic formula to fame and fortune in the music industry. I could be flippant and just say hard work, talent, and dumb luck. While those three notions often do result in success, they do not tell the whole story. Promotion is the key to success in today's music industry. And the primary components to successful promotion are reputation, relationships, and knowledge. Developing and leveraging these three concepts will help you achieve the goals you've set for yourself. How do you build a reputation, cultivate meaningful relationships, and use knowledge to your best advantage? These three formulas can help........
