SA's bands tour with Nokia Comes with Music Party Bus
Nokia is launching, this festive, the Nokia Comes with Music Party Bus. Beach-goers down South Africa's South Coast will be serenaded by some of South Africa's hottest bands on tour with the Nokia Comes with Music road show. The tour will kick off in Umdloti, Durban on 9 December 2009.
The Nokia Comes with Music Party bus, which will be making stops at beaches and shopping malls throughout the season, will showcase live performances from some of South Africa's top bands which include Ashtray Electric, Taxi Violence, Mix n Blend, Straatligkinders, aKing and Loyiso.
Sarah Crowe, head of marketing for Nokia South Africa says that the bus is just another way in which Nokia is showing its support of local talent. "Nokia has exercised support for the local industry throughout 2009 with the launch of the Nokia Music Store and then the Comes with Music service. The Comes with Music party bus is a great way to end off the year and we look forward to giving fans a chance to see their favourite artists perform live over the festive season."
As part of the tour, Nokia will be handing out free Nokia Music Store vouchers giving fans access to tracks from their favourite performers. Tracks to be included are 'The Dance' by aKing, 'Quite Overstared' by Ashtray Electric and 'Shall We Swing (feat, Fletcher)' by Mix n Blend.
The tracks will be given away at each performance of specific bands per day. You can hear previews of these tracks from Nokia Music Store's latest Podcast Episode at http://www.zoopy.com/audio/2fiy/nokia-music-store-podcast-episode-3?brow
