The 500 Challenge

Hey Friends & Fans!

As you all know by now OCCIDIS is in an online contest to win either a record deal or a 25 city tour. Votes the first couple weeks were great but they seem to have dropped off this week. We've only had about 25 votes this week, which is awesome but won't get us to the top.
We think that we can make it to the 6th spot by next Friday, May 8th (we currently are in the 7th spot). But to do that we need to get as many people voting every day as possible because we are 500 votes behind. That's a lot of votes but we know how awesome our friends and family are and that their support can get us to number one.

Voting takes less than a minute and you don't have to sign up for anything. You just clink the banner below scroll to OCCIDIS and check the box. It's that easy. If you will give us a minute of your day you can help us make it big.



Thank you for the support! We can't do it without you!

If you haven't checked out our new track "Impatient" yet, check it out and let us know what you think. We'll have the mastered track up in the next few days along with another song or two.

New Track Posted Online

OCCIDIS has been in studio this month and while we aren't done recording we wanted to give you a sneak peak of our new stuff. We've posted "Impatient" to our page. It hasn't been mastered yet but we couldn't wait to share it with you all. Check it out at: www.myspace.com/occidis or www.myspace.com/occidismusic or on Facebook (just search OCCIDIS).

Also, remember to vote daily to help us win a recording contract or a 25 city tour:

Gorillas Online Contest to Win a Tour or a Contract

Back when OCCIDIS won Gorilla Productions Battle of the Bands in January we were entered in an online contest to win a 25 city tour or a $25,000 recording contract. It took a while to get us listed online but we are there now.

Vote for us and help us win! It takes less than a minute and you can vote more than once so vote often.

Thanks! We appreciate everyones support!

A very close runner up was Marshall M. with his OCCIDIS “I” Design:



Since the votes were so close we are going to save Marshalls design to maybe use on a future project.
