PALO ALTO, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Mozes) - Today Mozes (www.mozes.com), the service that connects people to what they love from their mobile phones, announces that Universal Motown hip-hop artist
Busta Rhymes and Los Angeles-based rising rap stars Pacific Division are the latest musicians to be featured in the exclusive "Music to Go" concert series. The event is co-hosted and produced by Mozes and the Knitting Factory, New York's premier venue for emerging talent.
Mozes and the Knitting Factory have created a 360 degree mobile concert experience for fans by providing mobile ticketing, in-venue mobile commenting and a day-of-show text alert campaign to remind RSVPs about the concert.
Those who want to join Busta Rhymes' or Pacific Division's mob can RSVP to receive a free mobile ticket to the exclusive October 29th show by texting BUSTA or PACDIV to 66937 (spells Mozes). No paper tickets will be issued.
Once at the Knitting Factory, fans can send messages to Busta Rhymes and Pacific Division via text-to-screen messaging that will be displayed in real-time during the concert and will also appear on Pacific Division MySpace page (https://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID= 34713161) and Busta's MySpace page (https://www.myspace.com/bustarhymes) via a Mozes widget.
"The 360 degree mobile concert experience we've created with Mozes has become a powerful way for us to bring fans and amazing musicians together through mobile," said Andrew Adashek, Director of Interactive Media for the Knitting Factory. "Through our partnership with Mozes, we are helping fans discover great new music and develop stronger connections to the artists they love through a trusted, spam-free service that combines text, voice, the web and of course, live events."
"'Music to Go'" has been an innovative and effective way to build our artists' mobile fan clubs," said Scott Kepnach, Marketing Manager, Universal Motown Republic Group. "Old and new fans are rewarded with an exclusive performance and get to communicate on an ongoing basis with their favorite musicians via text and voice messages. They feel-in-the-know and valued, which is very important to our artists."
"Bringing together hip-hop pioneer Busta Rhymes and the exploding talent of Pacific Division to the stage is a great way to celebrate the fourth installment of the 'Music to Go' series," said Patricia Dao, Director of Business Development at Mozes. "'Music to Go' has proven itself to be a powerful and effective way to build active and loyal mobile fan clubs."
The Busta Rhymes and Pacific Division concert is the fourth of the ongoing "Music to Go" concert series. Other concerts have included a September 29th event featuring Q-Tip, September 17th event featuring Jazmine Sullivan and a May 2008th performance and mobile contest with R&B star Lloyd, who offered a free trip to his hometown, Atlanta, for the fan who left the best voice message when requesting mobile tickets.
