04-14-09 For Glory and Empire named Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands/EIY Band of the Month for April

From the EIY site: The do-it-yourself attitude has played a key role in the Ernie Ball Company's philosophy since day one! From opening the first guitar shop in southern California to pioneering rock n' roll string gauges, from implementing legendary grass roots marketing efforts to setting the pace for artist-endorsed products, the Ernie Ball Company has always employed the D.I.Y/E.I.Y. way of doing things. Over the last 13 years our support for local unsigned bands has reached over 7 continents, and has provided opportunity to play live on today's best lifestyle music festivals to over 3,000 bands. In an effort to further cement our support for the local music scene, we are teaming up with E.I.Y. -- the leading do-it-yourself web-community -- to bring you The E2 Band of The Month!

The rules are simple: work hard and get rewarded. Promote, play live and produce results. We will be awarding one E.I.Y. registered band the title of "The E2 Band of The Month" on the 2nd Monday of each calender month.

1 Box of Ernie Ball guitar strings
1 Box of Ernie Ball bass strings

This is not a contest, but the more activity we see from your band and supporters, the more you will stand out on the site!
