Philly is a symbol of independence... AND just like this great country of ours was founded by a bunch of rebels seeking freedom, so too are we seeking the freedom of independence from a music industry that is no longer run by musicians for the love of music. Instead, it's now run by multi-national corporations that are more concerned with profits than with artists and the music which they lovingly create to share with the world. There are currently over 2200 indie musicians and industry people on the IMC2003 email group, working to create a new music industry... the INDIE music industry! Please check out the web site at IMC2003.com, join us in building this revolutionary event. Nothing about the IMC will be the same as what we’ve been used to regarding music conferences. Throw out your preconceptions and help us make this exactly what YOU need it to be! Showcase Performance Workshop submission deadlines have been determined, watch the site for the Phase 1 Application Form. The application deadline is October 31, 2002.
