We are looking for independent musicians of ALL GENRES. We prefer a professionally made music video however we can also use video footage of your live concert (if the audio and video quality are good) or even a video displaying pictures as your song is being played over the top. All videos will be reviewed by a member of our team before we proceed further. Remember, video must be high enough quality to be on television.

Submissions must be made through SonicBids. If you do not have a SonicBids profile, we highly recommend getting one as it is a tool that, if used properly, can get your band future gigs. If you DO NOT have a SonicBids profile, send an email to info@MyBandVegas.com for submission details.

This allows us to have the interview option open to any band or artist regardless of their geographical location. Video interviews would be preferred so long as the connection is clean enough. If not, a voice interview can be done. Furthermore, if you are in Las Vegas, interviews can also be done in person!

“MyBand” will air on a Las Vegas CBS affiliate station locally. It will also be posted online. In time, the show will air in multiple cities outside of Las Vegas.

We will cycle through videos every show much like MTV or CMT does – FREE OF CHARGE to the artist. Each show will feature different artist interviews, however.
