Matrix Online: Battle of the Bands—A Piece of Blue Sky: Reloaded

A Piece of Blue Sky: Reloaded

Apparently, there was some disappointment that there was no actual concert this past weekend. Well, the Sleepwalkers may have interrupted this one, but why waste the concert venues now that we have them? And that's what the Battle of the Bands concert is about.

From April 25 through April 30, we'll be playing music videos inside The Matrix Online at the A Piece of Blue Sky concert venues. Our goal: Three one-hour video segments that we'll roll on the big screens during those six days.

Between now and April 9, we'll be accepting music submissions to be played as part of the event. We'll be choosing music for A Piece of Blue Sky: Reloaded from the submissions we get. If someone you know plays music that fits the Matrix genre, make sure you send them over to the Battle of the Bands entry page!

Of course, we also need video for the screens. Hopefully, some of the bands will provide their own. Then there's also the matter of those "Show Off MxO" videos we've had in our back pocket for the last few months. That's right-the Show Off MxO videos will be played inside The Matrix Online.

However, that leaves room for more player videos. If you've made in-game videos you'd like to see played during A Piece of Blue Sky: Reloaded, put the link on this thread. Keep in mind we'll be adding Battle of the Bands winners to the videos, so we'll be stripping any music on them out for the event.

Leavin' on a Jet Plane

And, of course, we're doing all this while much of the company will be in Atlanta for Fan Faire. I'm actually in San Diego right now and will be hopping a flight out to Georgia tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be seeing some of you there.

We've got a lot to take care of in the next few weeks, but it'll be worth it to bring A Piece of Blue Sky to The Matrix Online. Sans Sleepwalkers this time, I hope.
