If you’ll be in New York for Advertising Week September 21 – 25, you absolutely positively have to go to the YouTube Battle of the Ad Bands. Along with YouTube, it’s presented by Electronic Arts, the Association of Music Producers and Sonny/ATV Music Publishinbg. Last year, it so totally rocked! There were some amazing performances.

McCann Erikson’s More Fucking Cowbell (who will compete again this year) won the competition last year. In full 80’s heavy metal, big hair regalia, along with two female dancers, the band absolutely owned the crowd and the judges. Who will win this year? You’ll just have to go to find out.
