REBLOG & HELP SPREAD THE WORD!

Radio Request Riot

We’ve had a special request for Hot 104.7 to be our target radio station this week! For those of you from South Dakota, this is a mission that could help bring The Cab to your area! Rumor has it that there’s been a request for The Cab to join the Spill Canvas for a local show in Sioux Falls at the Vault. What we need you guys to do is let the radio station and venue know the demand is there and that the show would sell well if it happens!

Things you can do:

• Twitter the venue @vaultsf, and radio DJs @mel1047 and @andy1047
• Leave a message on the Vault’s Facebook and Hot 104.7’s Facebook

Remember to RT and like other tweets and comment you see being made!

★ You will earn two tally points per tweet and comment. This however is on a singular bases, meaning you can earn up to ten tally points for this mission (three tweets and two FB comment). Send us your screen caps to redeem your points!

Radio Request Riot

Alone, fans don’t have quite the same impact of requesting as all of us would together targeting one radio station. The idea behind RRR’s is to have everyone request the station play The Cab’s current single - in this case, “Bad” - in the hopes to get some recognition one radio station at a time!

So, what can you do to help the cause?

• Tweet @channel961 and radio DJ @reidontheradio
• Write on 96.1’s Facebook wall

Remember to RT and like other tweets and comment you see being made!

★ You will earn two tally points per tweet and comment. This however is on a singular bases, meaning you can earn up to four tally points for this mission (one tweet and one FB comment; not two separate tweets). Send us your screen caps to redeem your points!

The Perezzie Awards

Thanks to the heads up from street teamer Katherine, WATSS’ attention has been alerted to the Perezzie Awards. Based off the name itself I’m sure you can guess what it is: Perez Hilton, infamous for his coverage on all things media, is hosting his fourth annual year-end competition. Titles up for grab include bests, worsts, and favorites. We want to let Perez know that The Cab deserves Best New Artist and to nominate their current single “Bad” for Best Song.

Head over to Perezzies.com to cast your vote! You do not need to fill out the other categories if you don’t want to, but you’re more than welcome to if you’d so like. Send us a screen cap of the pop up message you receive after voting! The top five in each category will be announced November 28th, 2011 - get your votes in ASAP! Should The Cab or “Bad” makes it into the top five, there will be another voting to determine the overall winner.

Alternative Press’ Reader Poll 2011:
Band of the Year 

The Cab have seen a tremendous amount of personal, professional, and musical growth in the past three years. Our vote is that they finally get a bit of recognition for that! If you head over you to AP’s site you’ll see this:

Well, it’s hard to believe, but it’s already that time of year: the autumnal equinox has passed, we’re scheming ideas for a killer (pun intended) Halloween costume, making our holiday shopping lists and—most importantly—counting up the things that ruled hard (and maybe missed the mark) in all things music this year. We wanna know if your opinions match up with ours! Especially because we need you, dear reader, to pick the Band Of The Year for 2011. Take a few moments to fill out this brief survey and let us know what was ruling your music service of choice and what music trends you hope to see die out along with Father Time come Jan. 1, 2012. We take your opinions seriously, so let us know what you think—we’re counting on you!

Below the message is the indicated form. We’re asking you to fill out the necessary contact information and then tell AP why The Cab deserves Band of the Year! Select “Other”, type “The Cab” in the box, and then say why they should get the title. It’s the first question asked in the survey - you do not need to fill out the other portions of the survey (only if you want to!).

Send us a screen cap of the “message sent!” page after you submit your survey form in.

★ You will receive five points for completing this mission.

With The Cab’s new video for “Bad” out, it’s time to promote it like crazy! Haven’t seen it? It debuted on Vevo last night!

Now we’re asking for a favor: tweet @PerezHilton about it! DeLeon has personally requested the mission and we want to help him out! We’ll even make it simple for you, just copy and past the below tweet:

Hey @PerezHilton, you should check out @TheCab’s new video for #Bad! http://bit.ly/pUCEQC

You will receive five tally points for completing this mission. Just send us a screen cap of your tweet to our submissions page. (The number of tweets does not multiple your points; one or ten tweets equally earn you five points total.)

In addition, if Perez either replies back to you, retweets you, or replies to The Cab or one of its members, everyone who has participated in this challenge will be rewarded another five points. Ten points, just like that!

Seem steep? We want to make it happen! Get to it, soldiers. Spam your little hearts out. We know it’s what you do best. ;)

Radio Stations

Below is a list of confirmed radio stations that have “Bad” in their track plays! Now it’s your job to let them know you want to hear The Cab’s current single. Even if a station near you isn’t listed, send tweets and write of Facebook walls! Send retweets and like other wall comments!

Click here for the most up-to-date list!

If you send a tweet or make a wall post, screen cap the message(s) and send them to us through our submissions page. For each tweet and wall post you will receive one tally point. Send three tweets to three different programs and write on an additional Facebook wall? Four points, just like that. (Unfortunately we can’t regulate phone calls so we can’t give out tally points for that - however, do still call the stations anyway!)

Again, these stations have “Bad” in their playlist’s - stream the stations online and you may hear your request answered live! :)
