NEW YORK– The premiere Asian-American music channel on Direct TV, MYX, will take part in the historic Rock in the Box Weekend on August 29 and 30 in New York City.
The music channel will be sending a crew to cover the historic event and will feature some of the bands that will be playing, as well as the ones in the compilation album, Rock in the Box 2.

According to a network producer, they are aware of the magnitude of Rock in the Box Weekend, hence their decision to team up with Soulworks and Poptimes Magazine and bring this growing scene to a wider audience.

As for the label and the magazine, the involvement of MYX marks a new beginning in the development of the Filipino-American music scene.
 

The historic Rock in the Box Weekend this coming Labor Day Weekend is fast approaching, hence we are announcing the final time slots and guidelines for the two shows.

Although we have released the set times of your favorite artists, we are encouraging everybody to show their support and come in early.  Doors open at 8:00 PM for both nights.

Here are a few guidelines for the participating artists:

1.  Artists' set times include setup time : 25 mins including setup

2. A backline is provided by both venues: Drum set (minus cymbals, snare, pedals), two guitar amps, and a bass amp. Check venue's websites for more info: Rehab NYC , Crash Mansion

3. Artists can bring their own amps, keyboards and keyboard amps,  however, please remeber that a long setup time will affect artists' playing time on stage.

4. We are encouraging artists to be at the venues early– It is imperative that the show be right on schedule, plus it would be great to network with other artists during the historic weekend.

5. Participating  artists will be give Special Passes to attend both events for free. Meaning, Friday performers can attend the Saturday show without charge, and vice versa.

6. Since this event is for the community, we are encouraging all the artists to invite as many as they can so we could all have a great time and empower our scene.

7. Only one (1) guest per band is allowed.

8. Artists are not encourage to sell their own CDs in the venue since both venues will only sell Rock in the Box 2 CD. However, bands could sell their wares outside the venues.

9 To prevent set up delays, we are encouraging artists to tune up and prepare before the previous band’s last song ends in order to have a quick transition and help maximize your setup time. 

10. Lastly, rock out!
