this blogger out of Cincinnati tells us
duo Bad Veins has received a $10,000 unrestricted grant as winners of the Target Music Maker Award in connection with the Tribeca Film Festival. They’ll accept the money at this year’s festival in New York City (April 23-May 4) and play a high-profile showcase May 2 at Webster Hall in Manhattan along with The Hold Steady, The Virgins and Republic Tigers.
Sebastien Schultz told me the Bad Veins didn’t apply for the award program and had no idea they were even being considered until informed they’d won. Grammy-nominated music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who recently launched her music label Chop Shop Records, curated Tribeca’s “Breaking the Band” program and led the selection process for the new cash award, which is given to an unsigned musician or band.
The music world certainly needs more people like Alexandra Patsavas!
