So you wanna be a rock and roll star? Rolling Stone Magazine (along with corporate sponsor Volkswagen) is giving one lucky Hoosier band the opportunity to open for Jane's Addiction and The Roots at this year's Super Bowl in Indianapolis. Local bands like Tim Brickley and the Bleeding Hearts are activating their Facebook and Twitter fan bases to vote for the privilege of performing in front of the global audience. Vote early, vote often -- fans are being asked to vote once a day for their favorite group, with stiff competition fueled by a frenzy of social media activity the order of the day.

Hit City Recording Releases Flaming Planet Head
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/thereacharounds
Just prior to the ball dropping for 2012, Bleeding Heart bassist and longtime-Indy pub rocker Scott Sanders and his band The Reacharounds release their first record, Flaming Planet Head on Hit City Recording.
Produced by Hit City chief (and lead Bleeding Heart) Tim Brickley, and supported by a who's who of Indianapolis' working musicians including Larry DeMyer, Scott Ballantine, Keith Carey and Ben Wah Salami, the tightly-crafted album features a roster of original compositions written by Sanders over the past several decades.
TexMex flavored (a vestige of his time spent in Austin, Texas, just after college) and full of sad songs of lost lovers and crazy country neighbors, Flaming Planet Head is reminiscent of Joe Ely, Steve Earle, and Dave Alvin.
Flaming Planet Head is available for sale at CD Baby, Daddy Jack's and from the backseat of Scott Sander's car. ***
