All Games Radio To Air 4th Annual GANG Awards LIVE

[Blackwolf]

All Games Radio is proud to announce the live airing of the 4th Annual Game Audio Network Guild Awards LIVE from the Regency Ballroom at the San Jose Fairmont Hotel on Thursday, March 23rd, at 11PM Eastern/8PM Pacific.

Bobby Blackwolf, host of The Bobby Blackwolf Show, a weekly live interactive talk show about video games with a resulting podcast, and himself a proud GANG member, assembled clips of the nominees in many of the categories and assembled them into a two and a half hour preshow that will air at 8:30PM Eastern/5:30PM Pacific, preceeding the live broadcast.

The G.A.N.G. Awards system has been set-up to be the most complete and fair system possible. As long as it qualifies, anyone can nominate any game for any category. Once all of the entries are gathered a team of people spend countless hours digitizing video and collecting audio, data, etc. in order to make it easier for the Advisory Board to go through everything. The 40+ person Advisory Board then goes through each and every entry and votes on their top 5. All of the votes are then calculated to get the final 4, 5 or 6 final nominees.

By being able to listen and see each entry it allows all voters to make a decision based on the quality of the submission as opposed to whether or not they've played or heard of the game before.

Then, the entire GANG membership votes on their pick out of those top 5, with each nominee having an audio, video, or website sample linked.

Musical acts scheduled to perform are:

• The Video Game Pianist
• Charlie Malone of Supernova Sound featuring DJ 8-Ball
• Steve Adams and Desha Dunnahoe
• Laurie Robinson-Fratianni
• Irwin
• The Guitar Heroes of WaveGroup:
  • Lyle Workman, guitar player for Sting and Beck
  • Darryl C. Anders, bassist for Tower of Power and Bonnie Hayes
  • Joel Taylor, drummer for Allan Holdsworth and Edgar Winter
  • Ken Harrill, guitar player for Eric Martin and Booker T. Washington
  • Scott Dugdale, keyboardist for Leo Swift and Beat Poets
  • Marcus Henderson, guitar player for Drist and En Vogue
  • and Lance Taber, guitar player for Bourgeois Tagg and Charlie Peacock.

This is the first time that the GANG Awards have ever been broadcast to the general public, so don't miss this historic event! Tune in on Thursday, March 23rd for the preshow at 8:30PM Eastern/5:30PM Pacific or for the live broadcast at 11PM Eastern/8PM Pacific!

Cool. Wish you had used the allgames.com/mt link, but it's hard to find unless you're already subscribed to our RSS feed. It's easier to track visitors to see how far we reach with these...;P

...I dugg it.

I looked for a real link, but was denied by the flash. So I figured this was the next best thing.

[Fantaz]

May be bit of a short notice, but I'll also help get the word out.

Change of some plans

The prerecorded preshow will begin 30 minutes earlier at 8PM Eastern/5PM Pacific. Scot, Lawrence, and myself will go LIVE at 10:30/7:30 before the show starts at 11/8. We will then be doing a post show (most likely going to be on the All Games Interactive feed) after the awards ceremony at 1AM/10PM.

We'll also be in chat. We're at the sound check now setting up, the band is AMAZING that they have playing!

[DeadMan]

They are live right now!

[dcNate]

[Don Fubar]

Had a chance to meet up with Lawrence, Blackwolf and Scot at the event, hope all went well!
Helluva night!
