Australian music fans will be treated to 10 exclusive web and mobicasts featuring gigs by some of Australia’s top performers when BigPond’s Monday Night Live Series 2 launches later this month.
The gigs will be exclusive to BigPond.com and Telstra Next GTM mobiles live. Tracks from the performances will also be made available shortly afterwards as both audio and video downloads exclusively on BigPond.com and Telstra Next GTM mobiles.
Monday Night Live will deliver ‘virtual’ front row seats to live performances by some of the hottest names in Australian music, including Powderfinger, Cut Copy, The Panics, Pete Murray, Kasey Chambers and more.
Host of Monday Night Live, Australia’s own electronic music guru Paul Mac, said of the series: “It’s fantastic that we’re able to bring these live and exclusive gigs straight to the desktops and handsets of music fans around the country.
“Monday Night Live is an awesome way for fans to experience live and intimate gigs by their fave Aussie bands. I’m really excited to be involved in a series that supports Australian music and that BigPond and the Telstra Next G™ mobile network make it so easy for fans to access these gigs and interviews no matter where they are across the country,” said Mac.
Monday Night Live will be online at bigpond.com and via Telstra’s Next G™ and 3G handsets at 8:30 p.m. every Monday night from 28 April 2008, and afterwards on-demand via the BigPond Music button on mobiles and at BigPond Music TV online.
BigPond’s Group Managing Director, Justin Milne, said: “Delivering entertainment via new media is BigPond’s speciality, and with tickets to see these artists being some of the hottest and hardest to get hold of at the moment, this is simply the next best way for fans to experience their top-notch music.
“This is another example of BigPond bringing innovative world-leading online entertainment to Australian fans,” Mr Milne said. "And BigPond is delighted to announce the return of NAB as principal sponsors of Monday Night Live and their support for the pioneering way for music fans to see their favourite artists."
