OurStage Overview w/Video – and Freebies!

Last weekend I had the chance to tape a brief interview with OurStage Marketing VP – Lora Kratchounova. OurStage is a battle of the indie bands. You listen to A and B, vote and do it again. And again. From there, OurStage builds the top lists and you can stream those for free. You can also download the songs for 99 cents each. Outside of the music battles, OurStage seems similar to NY-based Amie Street.

Here are some other notes from our discussion:

• The team is based in Boston with 33 people, 12 million in private funding
• Holds 15,000 musicians and 30,000 media items currently
• Marketing has come only from word of mouth and viral means to-date
• No "corporate" registration required – musicians just upload songs
• Musicians receive the full 99 cents for each download through the end of the year

And I snagged 8 free download cards. If you want a download card, leave a comment below with your email in the email box – NOT in the comment. So I ask you, what other blogger is out there getting goodies for the readers? :)
