Ball of Wax
The Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly is now accepting submissions for its Spring 2011 volume. Recognized as one the Northwest’s finest music compilation series, Ball of Wax has been curating and showcasing the work of local underground musicians for more than five years via downloadable content and album volumes (available for purchase at Sonic Boom records). Interested artists should submit new, but not necessarily unreleased, recordings in hardcopy or in mp3 by April 11. This volume does not have a particular theme, but songs of Spring and rejuvenation are especially welcome (tunes of Winter and death or Autumn and Tofu will also be considered). Because the following volume has been reserved for songs about books, this will be the last Ball of Wax open call for a while. For all the submission details, check out the link. Also be sure to hit up the newly-unveiled Blog of Wax, an ongoing extension of the Quarterly’s mission to bring underexposed Seattle music to the spotlight.
