It’s nearly Christmas which means it’s time for the 10th annual Matinée fanclub poll! Every year we survey our coterie of Matinée chums to see which new releases made you smile and reward voters with free records in the process. We are accepting poll entries through January 5th so if you haven’t ordered the latest releases yet there’s still time to get them before votes are due.
The official album of the year contenders are ‘Rule of Thirds’ (matcd059) from Azure Blue, ‘Unfamiliar Stars’ (matdvd058) from The Lucksmiths, and ‘Sophomore Release’ (matcd057) from Bubblegum Lemonade.
Single of the year contenders include the ‘Stop, Look and Listen’ 7” (matinée 080) from Strawberry Whiplash, ‘Moonstruck’ EP (matinée 079) from Champagne Riot, and the ‘Matinée Holiday Soirée’ EP (matinée 078).
We are also collecting votes for song of the year, favorite Matinée artists, and favorite Matinée albums and singles of all time so please take a moment to vote for your favorites! As always, simply entering earns you a chance to win free music and this year a special $50 merchandise prize is up for grabs for one lucky winner. The poll closes January 5th so please complete your entry today and best of luck in the prize draw!
If you haven’t picked up the latest releases now’s the time as our Matinée holiday sale continues for just 12 more days. Please see the Matinée shop for superb savings—7” singles starting at $1.50 each, cd singles from $2.50 each, and cd albums as low as $5 each.
Stock is very low on several titles so this will be your last chance at a few of these gems. Please see the post below for more details.
Happy holidays and thanks for all your support this year! We’ll be back in 2012 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the label so please stay tuned for the latest news and exclusive previews of forthcoming releases.
