<i>[the rules are at the bottom of this post]</i>
</div>
<br />
Two years ago we decided to let anyone download our music for free, and I think that's one of the best decisions we've ever made. We also try to play as many free shows as we can, and on top of that, during our shows we've been giving away CD's and buttons for free. We do have a tip jar, in case you'd like to donate something, but we don't think you should feel obligated to give us cash. Take our stuff, it's yours. Now, in an attempt to reward all the beautiful people who support us, we want to go a step further, we want to give you our shirts for free, just for liking what we do.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The idea is simple, each month we are going to give away 2 t-shirts, to the first 2 people who find 5 people that like our music and have them "Like" our Facebook page. So, let's say you're hanging out with a couple of friends and you tell them about us, or better yet, play them some of our music or show them our videos, and they dig it and "Like" our Facebook page, and then you do the same the next weekend, and five or more of your friends end up Liking our Facebook page, you get a t-shirt. You probably already do that with any band that you really like, especially the ones that not many people know about, but we want to reward you just for doing that, because we think you're helping us tremendously. It may not feel that you're helping us, but we believe you are so much, that we're going to give you a t-shirt (and depending on what's going on at the time, you could get even more). Every time you Like our posts, every time you post our videos on your wall, every time you share our music with your friends, you're helping us. A lot. Finding 5 new supporters of our music is huge. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We wish we could give you more, but we're still a broke bunch who have never made a dollar in profit with our music, so we can't go crazy. Giving away two shirts (which were not bought in bulk ) a month, adding even more to our expenses, is actually not easy for us, but we don't mind doing the sacrifice if we think it's worth it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>The Rules</u>:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Find 5 people or more who like our music, and have them Like our page (if they want, it's really not helpful for us if the people who Like our Facebook Page doesn't really like our music or don't want to Like our page).</li>
<li>They must be people you find during the course of each month, so you have 30/31 days starting the 1st of every month.</li>
<li>They can't be people who used to Like our page but Unliked at some point for some reason. They must be people who are Liking our page for the first time.</li>
<li>After your 5 friends have Liked our page, write a list with their names and send it to <b>thewatermarks@yahoo.com</b> with the subject<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><b>FREE SHIRTS </b>for </span>verification.</li>
<li>The first two people who complete the previous steps every month will get a shirt.</li>
<li>You can select from any of our t-shirts here: <a href="http://thewatermarks.spreadshirt.com/">http://thewatermarks.spreadshirt.com/</a> </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>Notice that you can change the t-shirt color and select your size after you click on the shirt model you want. So, if you want the 3rd shirt on the 1st row, which is pink, but you want it in purple, </b><b>you just let us know!</b><br />
<br />
That's it!<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot for your support!<br />
Love,<br />
<br />

<br />
1. <b>Post our new video</b>, Run Away, on your Facebook timeline. (In case you don't know, here's the URL: <a href="http://youtu.be/qzmtZ0s4qtY">http://youtu.be/qzmtZ0s4qtY</a>).<br />
<br />
2. <b>Find 10 people</b> who like our music, and have them Like our page (make sure they like our music, there's no point in asking someone who only listens to Tango to like our page).<br />
<br />
3. <b>Write the names for all the people</b> you found who like our music on and Liked our page on a list, and <b>send it to thewatermarks@yahoo.com</b>. <span style="color: red;"><b>Make sure the subject on the e-mail says CONTEST</b>. </span><br />
<br />
4. <b>The 2 people who send his/her list first</b>, gets the tickets. 1 ticket each. We'd love to be able to get 2 tickets each, but we don't have more extra passes, we're using our own guest spots.<br />
<br />
5. If by <b>Friday 5PM</b> two of you haven't found 10 people, just <b>send the list for all the people you found</b>. The 2 people that found the most new fans will get the tickets. If there's a draw, we'll decide who gets the tickets by throwing a coin, or a ruffle, or something. Whatever we decide, we'll make a video of it.<br />

I don't think any of us expected what happened. Sharing the stage (or rather, the living room) with such talented artists was simply amazing. We are very grateful we were part of this.<br />
<br />
The Houston Press wrote a really nice article about our acoustic set from last Saturday. They even posted a video of our full performance! You can read the article, and check our performance <a href="http://blogs.houstonpress.com/artattack/2010/11/songs_from_a_room.php">right here</a>.<br />

The occasion is the Thrill The World event, where they will attempt to beat the world record for most zombies dancing Michael Jackson's Thriller video sequence. We go on immediately after zombies from all over the world dance together. Scary, isn't it? But we're happy we're sharing the stage with our friends from The Live Lights!<br />

See you soon!The Watermarkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03659352803166035827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170533017604683536.post-85835202215514867792010-09-19T17:23:00.000-07:002010-09-19T23:46:19.545-07:00The Watermarks Featured in the Cureconnections Newsletter and PlaylistA few weeks ago I read in one of the Google Alerts we get that someone mentioned us in a Cure forum. This could be a good and a bad thing, depending of what the person said, of course. So I went to investigate and it was good, actually very good. A few members of the forum started saying really good things about us, and suddenly the downloads of our EP <a href="http://thewatermarks.bandcamp.com/album/thoughts-like-bombs"><b>Thoughts Like Bombs</b></a> and the plays of our YouTube video for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNAqlySTYy0"><b>Fast Song</b></a> started peaking. Oddly enough, most plays came from Germany, which is the home for <a href="http://cureconnections.com/">CureConnections.com</a>, the forum where we got mentioned. The fact our music was being appreciated from so far away was so cool that I had to sign up and become a member of this forum, and thank everyone who helped spread The Watermarks' name all over the world. From what I gather there's nothing but nice people at <a href="http://cureconnections.com/">CureConnections.com</a>, and now they have even featured us in their news letter that every member of the forum gets and added one of our songs to their playlist! <br />
<br />
We would like to say "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" to them. That's totally awesome!<br />
<br />
I don't know if nonmembers can read the newsletter, but if you want to read it, you can do so <a href="http://www.cureconnections.com/newsletter/2010/2310.html">here</a>.<br />

The article starts by saying really good things about us:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div><div>"A lot of cool bands have signed up for Headliner.fm recently. I try to spend a little time each week listening to our user’s music and finding new bands I like. One band that recently caught my ear was The Watermarks. The Watermarks have a great sound: heavy synths, fuzzy guitars and catchy hooks that sort of recall the Jesus and Mary Chain. The group, which is based out of Houston, has opened for some huge bands including Broken Social Scene and The Ting Tings. So far, on Headliner the group has made 3 connections and reached 8,000+ new fans.You can visit their official site here: <a href="http://thewatermarks.net/">The Watermarks</a>.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I had the opportunity to do a brief interview with Jason and Cesar of The Watermarks, via email, where we talked about their experiences as an indie band in 2010. Check it out!"<br />

It will be the first time we play there so we have double the reasons to be excited. Additionally, we are playing a FREE show with a super cool line-up. Not too often do you get to see free shows like this, so you should try not to miss it. The FREE show is on August 20th at Mango's.

<br />
It's been a really busy month for us with gigs and our personal jobs, but we haven't forgotten about the little project we have talked about on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thewatermarks" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Facebook Fanpage</span></a>. This project will be called '<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">The Watermarks Open Song Project</span>'. The main purpose of this project will be for our fans to witness our creative process in progress, something you don't get to see very often with us or any other band. You will be able to see how a very basic music idea with not much to it, becomes a good, well produced song. Every time we work on the song or add or change something there will be an update with the audio and a little explanation on what we did, and why we did it. You might even see some videos of us arguing in the studio! Of course, with every update made, if there's something you would like to say, you will be able to do so. You can leave opinions, comments, comparisons, or even ideas, if you like. Even though this project is not about The Watermarks writing a song <b><i>with</i></b> our fans, this feedback might affect the developing of the song immensely, hopefully in a good way, but we'll have to find this by ourselves. That's why we call this an experiment and why we are excited about pouring stuff in test tubes to see what happens. We hope you guys will learn something or get something out of this. We are probably going to learn something about ourselves as well, but in the end what will matter is that we all have fun doing this. Because we've been and will be really busy until the end of this month, we'll probably have to wait until next month to begin with this project, perhaps the first or second week of September. We'll keep you informed.<br />
<br />
That is all for now. Hope to see you at Mango's on the 20th!<br />
Until next time!<br />

This is the second year of the breakout event that feature the best emerging bands, poets, and visual artists from across the “republic” of Texas. (Hence the name Rock The Republic) Our event fuses the underground culture of Texas “slam poetry” with the diversity of the Texas music scene. Add amazing art installations, exhibits, and “spectacles” that have never been seen before and you have Rock The Republic 2010. Rock The Republic 2010 is “A Spectacle of Sight and Sound.” Think of us as the next evolution of the music and arts festival experience.</span>The Watermarkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03659352803166035827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3170533017604683536.post-21912880840677934862010-07-27T16:56:00.000-07:002010-07-27T16:56:28.740-07:00Main Street Festival this Saturday + A Blog You Should Read!Just a reminder to all of you we are playing at the Main Street Music Festival.

The amazing <a href="http://www.mobleytheband.com/coldwarcold/">Mobley</a> band is coming from Austin to share the stage again with us and <a href="http://www.featherfacemusic.com/">Featherface</a>, also from Houston. But the last minute inclusion of Aussie band <a href="http://theonfires.com/">The On Fires</a>, makes this show a must see!<br />
<br />
Even the Houston Press thinks you might want check our show, here's what they have to say:<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue;">"Already seen the Psychedelic Furs? Houston's Watermarks cultivate that same kind of sensual, sunglasses-after-dark modern-rock sound – albeit with synthesizers standing in for saxophones, and both live and electronic drums – and have been lauded by blogs such as Under Control and Never Enough Notes in the Furs' homeland for their efforts...."</div><br />

Best of all, it's free! You won't have to pay anything, zero, nada, for 4 awesome bands.<br />

Yes, we're talking about Summer Fest which no other than The Flaming Lips will headline this year! You will regret it very much if you miss it, this doesn't happen every day.<br />

We're very honored to be part of the Southwest of Never compilation and to be featured in such awesome music e-zine. You should check them out frequently, as they feature news and interviews with artists you love as well and many undiscovered bands that you will love.<br />
