In Good Faith Entertainment Forges Relationship With Mantra PR To Promote American Debut Of Dutch Band

Bookmark and Share
Cold Spring, NY, June 17, 2005 – Lance LaBreche, president of In Good Faith Entertainment (IGF) announced today that an agreement has been reached with Mantra Public Relations, a well-regarded New York-based publicity firm, to provide nationwide media services for Blues Brother Castro. The Dutch rock band, currently on IGF’s artist management roster, is scheduled to make its US debut at this year’s CMJ Convention, followed by a 20-city coast-to-coast tour.

LaBreche cites Mantra's philosophy, approach, and history of success working with clients across a broad range of industries as the determining factors in IGF’s ultimate agency selection. Mantra will focus its efforts on national and regional monthly music & culture publications, as well as radio, television and print media in each of the tour cities. “Tour press is always so much fun when we have the opportunity to introduce a new band to the US market and we’re excited to team with IGF in this creative artist development process,” says Gaye Carleton, president of Mantra. “We can’t wait to see the impact Blues Brother Castro will have on the new music scene here in the States.”

Blues Brother Castro released its debut album, “Money Maker Me” on Rara Records (Holland) last summer, and has seen a sharp rise in popularity in recent months, due in large part to its relentless European tour schedule. One such energetic performance garnered the band an invitation to participate at this year’s CMJ Music Marathon, held annually in September in a variety of New York City venues. IGF saw this as the perfect opportunity to organize a tour that would introduce Blues Brother Castro to an American audience hungering for that innovative import sound and experience. Mantra will utilize its expertise to ensure that the band’s visibility is maximized throughout its visit.

For media inquires regarding interview availability and for more information on Blues Brother Castro and its upcoming tour in general, please contact Mantra at 212-645-1600.
