New York, NY (DANIELLE VALENTE) -- imeem and Plug Awards are teaming up for the nationwide Plug City Highlights Tour and the 2007 Plug Independent Music Awards at Irving Plaza in New York City on February 10, 2007. As the official online social media sponsor for Plug Awards, imeem will use their innovative digital media features to bring nominee information and local band content to voters and fans. Both Plug Awards and imeem share the vision of discovering independent music and helping fans to interact directly with these up-and-coming artists. imeem is proud and very excited to be the online social media partner for Plug, an influential voice in the independent music scene

The Plug Independent Awards is an annual event where music fans worldwide log onto https://www.plugawards.com and vote for their favorite music artists, albums, record labels, magazines, websites/blogs, record stores, radio stations, and venues. In the coming weeks, fans will be able to check out the Plug meem at https://plug.imeem.com to listen, watch, comment and rate the nominees through featured pictures, music and video for all categories. Through January 26th, fans can view and vote for this year's 2007 nominees at https://plugawards.com/general_vote.php. This year's best album of the year nominees include: Band of Horses, Beirut, Belle & Sebastian, Cat Power, Girl Talk, Grizzly Bear, J Dilla, Joanna Newsom, Neko Case, Silversun Pickups, The Hold Steady, and The Knife.

Leading up to the Plug Awards ceremony is the Plug City Highlights Tour, with upcoming stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit. Successful events have already occurred in Brooklyn, Miami, Austin and Toronto earlier this year. The mission of these events is to give an outlet to the thousands of music fans whose voices aren't regularly heard, but whose own local indie music scenes are vibrant and established. These all-local shows highlight the best up-and-coming bands, artists, filmmakers, fashion designers, blogs, zines and more. During the tour, Plug and imeem will highlight the uniqueness of each city and amplify recognition and support for their scenes and the people who make them shine.

Plug and imeem are hosting contests to give one up-and-coming band in each city a chance to open up for the Plug City Highlights Tour. Bands will create a profile and submit an original song to the PLUG 'meem' (for the uninitiated, that's a group area within the imeem.com online community). Artists headlining the show will judge the top rated songs and one lucky winner will be chosen to perform. For more information, please visit: https://plug.imeem.com/

"imeem is proud and very excited to be the online social media partner for Plug, an influential voice in the independent music scene," said Steve Jang, vice president of marketing and business development, imeem. "We're excited to bring fans and voters closer to the independent musicians nominated for the Plug Awards, and to also help local bands and fans get truly involved and participate in the Plug City Highlights Tour."

"Plug and imeem are committed to supporting independent artists, media and venues," said Gerry Hart, founder of the Plug Awards. "We intend to utilize this partnership with imeem to bring awareness and interactivity to its artists and in particular to those nominated for awards this year. With imeem, fans will soon be able to preview PLUG nominees' music before submitting their final votes. In addition, through our group, users can also learn about the best local bands in Brooklyn, Detroit, Los Angeles, and San Francisco."
