VESTALIFE PARTNERS WITH FUTURE SOUNDS FOR MUSIC SHOWCASES, SAMPLERS, TOUR
September 30, 2008 — Lifestyle consumer electronics designer Vestalife has announced a partnership with San Francisco-based new music advocates and promoters Future Sounds to co-promote its Ladybug speaker dock for iPod alongside Future Sounds events and promotions.
The first manifestation of this partnership is at The Rumble, a monthly live music and DJ series held in San Francisco at the Harlot Club and in Los Angeles at Three of Clubs the first Wednesday and Thursday nights of each month, respectively. This month's Rumble San Francisco—celebrating its first anniversary—features a live performance by 2AM Club; guest DJ Aaron Axelsen and resident DJ Bagel Ted. The Rumble: LA features three live acts: The Noises 10, Django James and resident DJ Michael. November's lineup is still in formation but bi-coastal band The Blacks will be playing BOTH Rumble events in San Francisco on October 1st and at The Rumble: LA on October 2nd.
At each Rumble, Future Sounds gives away a Ladybug during the set break. Future Sounds has created "golden tickets" that they'll hand out at each event to a given number of people. They will then host a drawing to find the Ladybug-winning golden tickets. Future Sounds will also give away Ladybugs during weekly radio promos on Little Radio.
