theLocalScene is offering e-mail addresses for your band. The e-mail address is not a full e-mail account. It is an alias that redirects your mail to whatever you designate. For example, theLocalScene sets up an alias for yourband@thelocalscene.com; your real e-mail address is joe2374@aol.com; someone sends an e-mail to yourband@thelocalscene.com; theLocalScene server receives the mail, then redirects it to joe2374@aol.com where you then check your mail and read it.

• theLocalScene does not get a copy of any of your mail messages.
• theLocalScene cannot at any time read your mail messages.
• Your e-mail is immediately forwarded to your e-mail account.

So if your tired of an @hotmail.com, @juno.com, or @aol.com address, or if you're tired of having to add numbers to the end of you name because it has already been taken, advance sign-ups are now being accepted for yourband@thelocalscene.com or yourband@indiebands.com e-mail. This offer is only available to independent bands. theLocalScene verifies this through a website address, so be sure to include it.

Sign up now and join the other bands using @thelocalscene.com and @indiebands.com e-mail addresses.

Due to the volume of requests, here are a few notes:

• Website URL is REQUIRED. This is the only way I have to verify that a band is requesting the e-mail address.
• The e-mail address is not activated automatically. You will be notified by e-mail when your @thelocalscene.com or @indiebands.com address is activated. Do not send e-mail until it is active.
• Distribute the e-mail address you requested. I will no longer forward e-mail I receive due to the use of an e-mail address that has been misspelled or is incorrect (i.e. sent to band@indiebands.com instead of the requested theband@indiebands.com).
