2. What is Indie Week? Indie Week is a twice-annual festival that takes place in Dublin and Toronto. Aimed at bridging the gap between the European and North American independent music scenes, Indie Week Canada takes place October 12-16, showcasing bands from around the globe in over 15 of downtown Toronto's hottest venues. Showcases are judged by A-list music industry professionals, ensuring that industry members will be in attendance in addition to fans. Both Indie Week Ireland and Canada culminate with the Indie Week Closing Party, where the best showcasing bands will perform for a chance to cross the Atlantic and headline the following year's sister festival, ie; one act is selected from Indie Week Canada to perform at Indie Week Ireland (flights for up to 5 band members + hotel paid for), and one act from Indie Week Ireland is selected to perform at Indie Week Canada. International acts perform more than one show.

October 12 – 16, 2011 What People are Saying “Sponsors Jack Daniel's and Pabst Blue Ribbon also added fun to the festival, along with scores of media and industry hobnobbing with artists and fans.” – SNAP (www.snapdowntowntoronto.com) “Although the scope of artists is vast, and the oodles of brew (oops we mean Jack) is a nice addition, one of the main attractions for bands continues to be the battle..” – www.livemusicto.com “For a music junkie like myself, something like Indie Week doesn’t come along very often – and when it does, I inherit total kid-in-a-candy-store syndrome.” – Much Music Blog “HUGE exposure for our band. Dramatic increase in website hits.” – The Adult Film Industry “As an unsigned band we hoped that Indie Week would help get us more exposure and it delivered that in spades!” – These Electric Lives “This was by far the most memorable and most fun Toronto music fest I’ve been to in a while.” – The Rock and Roll Report “We highly recommend this festival and it’s only going to keep getting bigger and better.” – Static in the Stars “I fully plan on going back to this event next year to experience what REAL new music has to offer, thanks to all of you who planned this event. ” – ferdinando-armeni.blogspot.com

11. October 12 – 16, 2011 Indie Week 2010 Top Act These Electric Lives INDIE WEEK is different from other festivals by having industry judges at artist showcases. As a result 1 band is selected as top act and INDIE WEEK brings them to Ireland to headline INDIE WEEK IRELAND. This is a huge opportunity for a band to be exposed to international markets as well as having increased exposure through media. For acts that are not selected – this also gives an opportunity to perform in front of industry and possibly build career-changing relationships as their judges may be an A & R rep from a record label, a Juno-award winning producer, and a top-40 songwriter..

12. October 12 – 16, 2011 Goals for 2011 Increased media exposure Increase attendance by 35% Align with Queen St. Business Association Partner with additional International music festivals Increase star status with a headlining act Increase the amount of music industry specific events Pre-festival events Include film, art, digital media components
