Bangkok Independent Music Festival

Hi, we are looking for rock bands interested in taking part in an international independent rock music festival in Bangkok, Thailand, sometime next year (we're still working on fixing the date). We expect to be able to pay for the bands' travel and living expenses (plane tickets, hotels, etc), but will not be able to pay the bands.
Our goal is to invite good rock bands from around the world for a showcase of non-corporate independent music to prove that good music is a global, honest phenomenon. We also want to open this region up to good rock n roll (there is a scene spread across the region, from Indonesia to Hong Kong, but it is fragmented, so thousands of kids languish under the awful burden of having to like bands like Linkin Park because they don't know any better). We realize that it is difficult for indepedent bands to organize tours in the region because of the expense, that's why we want to pay for them to come. We like to think of it as a rock n roll scholarship for a wonderful cutlural experience.
So far we are talking to bands from Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, Canada, the US, France, and Sweden. Does this sound interesting to you? If so, please let me know at bkkindiemusicfest@hotmail.com , and I will gladly keep you up to date as the details become available. Thanks!
Help us bring the global community together for an event that is about the event, not about selling anything!!!
