The Dashboard System™ provides Takeover Digital with the ability to give each artist their own webpage—including customized display of the latest news, tour information, message boards, and streaming videos for purchase—resulting in a unique interactive experience for the customer. The software is completely integrated, giving artists the ability to sell merchandise, downloadable music files, and ringtones via text and side load, directly to their fan base.

Gtr/Vox for LA based Rock group Oh No Not Stereo:

You guys recently signed with Takeover Records. How are they treating you guys?

SN: We released our latest EP through Takeover Records for their distribution ability, and we are creating our follow-up full length right now independently as free agents. It seems to totally be the way to do it right now. Honestly though, Takeover isn’t involved with anything we do at this point.

What kind of touring plans does the summer and fall of 2007 hold for you guys?

River City High has been a band going at it for years but has never really been mainstream or hugely popular, which is funny because they have plenty of single worthy songs on the records they put out. If you have not heard of River City High then I urge you to go check out the newest release, or anything you can get a hold of.
