Nakatomi Plaza – On Tour

Just a quick reminder – Nakatomi Plaza has one last road trip in the tank before it shuffles off this mortal coil we call punk rock. The Coda Tour currently finds the Brooklyn three piece playing shows throughout parts of the East Coast and Midwest before saying its final goodbyes on September 11-12 at Buddy Fest.

Of course, let’s not forget that the band has graciously left us with an amazing parting gift in the form of Ghosts, its final self-released full-length. The record will officially be out on September 29th, but Nakatomi Plaza will have copies on tour. It is also available via iTunes and other digital music services…or if you’re a “try before you buy” type of person, head on over to Punknews.org as the website is streaming Ghosts in its entirety.

The contest is a chance for unsigned artists to gain recognition and win over $15,000 in prizes to help advance their careers.

The 2009 IOTY competition will reward finalists with prizes from Ernie Ball, Tower.com, IK Multimedia, Rainmaker PR, Diskfactory, Indiepower.com, PlayBack Clothing, Sonoma Wireworks, Sam Ash, Future Perfect Radio, Blue Microphones , and Broadjam.com, with additional prizing to be announced by September 1st.
