11. Recensement ADISQ 2010 : Date limite 23 avril
Changements à la réglementation du prochain Gala
Le processus de révision annuelle de la réglementation des Félix vient de prendre fin entraînant, comme chaque année, plusieurs changements.
Parmi les propositions adoptées cette année, une modification a été apportée au poids attribué aux ventes dans le choix des nominations et du gagnant des catégories d’albums dont le vote est fait par un jury. Plutôt que de compter pour 40 %, les ventes compteront dorénavant pour 25 % du pointage pour les catégories d’albums suivantes : Alternatif, Hip-Hop, Musique électronique, Jeunesse, Traditionnel, Musiques du monde et les catégories de musique Classique et Jazz. Le pourcentage de 40 % du poids des ventes demeure pour les catégories d’albums qui seront déterminées par l’Académie.
C’est aussi dans le cadre de cette révision que le conseil d’administration a proposé d’ouvrir les règles d’admissibilité au recensement de son Gala aux producteurs ou maisons de disques non-membres de l’ADISQ qui peuvent désormais recenser un produit ou un artiste.
Le recensement en vue des galas 2010 est en cours, et ce, jusqu’au 23 avril 2010. On peut consulter ici l’ensemble des modifications apportées à la réglementation des Félix pour 2010.
Rappelons que L’Autre Gala de l’ADISQ et Le Gala de l’ADISQ se tiendront respectivement les 1er et 7 novembre 2010

14. Halifax Pop Explosion Early Bird Deadline Fast Approaching - April 16, 2010 - For Release
The Halifax Pop Explosion (HPX) is a music, culture and media festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada from October 19-24, 2010 and is accepting submissions for interested artists. The deadline for early bird submissions is April 16th 2010.
HPX is a five day festival taking place in bars, small theatres and some larger multi-use venues (arenas, banquet halls) and is composed of 30-50 concerts staged in venues as small as 90 seats and as large as 3500 capacity.
We do the festival for the love of the music and to bring bands to town that would normally never make the trip out here.
We are now accepting applications for showcasing bands via mail and Sonicbids (preferred method), and we are always interested in proposals for showcases from independent record labels.
For detailed info on the festival, past performers, F.A.Q. and everything else please visit our website:
http://halifaxpopexplosion.com/about-us/play/
Quotable Quotes:
“Finding out you were selected to play HPX is like wining a prize. It is a gift to the band every time we get to play.” - Brian Borcherdt, Holy Fuck
“We had a great experience playing Halifax Pop Explosion in 2008. I think it’s a great chance for many bands to play an amazing first show in an interesting city like Halifax. It’s the kind of festival that’s big enough for bands to have crowded shows, but small enough for you to feel that the people organizing it are doing it only out of love of music and live shows.” -Yonatan Gat, Monotonix
“There is no other festival in Canada with the profile of the Pop Explosion. I know I can rely on HPX to treat my artists well. The artists always want to go back and play again.” – Steven Himmelfarb, Agent, The Billions Corporation
