Hard Rock

 * In the mid-1960s, American rock bands began to modify rock and roll, adding greater blues influence, harder sounds, heavier guitar riffs, bombastic drumming and louder vocals. Early hard rock can be heard in The Who, The Rolling Stones, and The Kinks. Hard Rock met it's commercial peak in the 1980's with the success of "glam metal" bands such as Bon Jovi, and Led Zepplin before losing popularity when grunge rock took over. Recently, in the past 10 years, classic hard rock bands have made come backs, bringing the genre back into popular status.
 * Some of the artists that have defined the hard rock genre are Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, KISS, The Who, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, Guns N' Roses, and Aerosmith. When people think Hard Rock they think of these guys!
 * The demographics for the hard rock genre are predominately white, working-class, adolescent men.
 * The bigger names such as Bon Jovi and KISS have personally and musically appeared in commercials on tv. The Who recently performed at the half time show of the Super Bowl which is one huge advertisement. Currently there is smaller bands that are having a battle of the bands at Hard Rock Cafe which is huge publicity for local bands that would otherwise not be known. Lesser known bands also do opening acts for the bigger names which open immense doors for them. These bands also tend to go crazy, setting a vivid image of themselves in peoples minds i.e. KISS. These bands also are on the radio regularly.
 * The bigger name artists of this genre such as those listed above will play in large arenas and stadiums such as where NBA Basketball and NFL Football. They regularly play in big name cities across the world. Slightly less well-known bands such as Theory of a Deadman play in smaller venues such as fairgrounds with some bigger arenas. They play in smaller cities such as El Paso and Corpus Cristi and tend to stay in the U.S. Even smaller local bands such as Detroit band, The Wall Clocks, play in local cafes and theaters.

Assignment 3: Band Biography
So we are Collapsing Endeavour and we've been around a couple of years working our way up. We are a pretty legit all girl hard rock band but don't get us wrong. We know how to tear it up for a bunch of chicks from the 'burbs. Da-Lemma (aka Emma) and I actually met each other at the 7-Eleven down the street. We got into a fight over the last Rockstar, which landed us in a juvenile detention center. It was there that we discovered we both had musical talents, Da-Lemma on tambourine and vocals and me, Shady (aka Catie) on the drums. After basically discovering each other, we or CE collaborated on our first song "Breakout" which was actually a plan to breakout (shhhh! don't let anyone know) ...Pretty crazy but that's how we are. We are all over the place just like our tunes. And that's what landed us our first record deal and we are "The Fallen" no more. We aren't afraid to take chances in our music and that's what our fans love about us. "The Fallen" has some intense jams. It's loud and in your face. We're chicks so it's like nothing you've ever heard but be ready for some hard core fun that will knock your socks off. We are actually looking for a new bassist and lead guitarist. The studio musicians are great but we're ready to kick it up and need some gals with a burnin' desire to show them boys up. In other words ladies, be on your toes 'cause we're looking for you. Once we get that situation worked out we want to take Collapsing Endeavour even further. Maybe another tour, some more albums, some more hits. We're never satisfied (we're not some one-hit wonders) so we're going to keep working for what we want. We want to be known and that's what this tour is for. Landing our record contract in November was just the first step. We're already working on our next record and we'll work on it more on the road. Hopefully, we'll be able to get it out pretty soon after our last tour date. We're pumped and ready to take on America! Remember, Rock On! <3, Shady and Da-Lemma!

Assignment 4: Tour Name/Sponsor
Hard Rock Cafe presents Collapsing Endeavour's Catch the Fallen Tour.

We decided to get the Hard Rock Cafe to sponsor us because they are the epitome of Rock and Roll. They are located across the globe but even though they are global they still manage to find time for the little guys-or girls in our case! Currently they are having a Battle of the Bands type thing going on in their Chicago location to give inovative local bands their shot at being more so why wouldn't they sponsor a group of girls from the 'burbs ready to do the same! Rock On, <3!
