Shameless self promotion! Vote for my band here!

Hey folks,
It was just brought to my attention that Rattletree Marimba is one of the pics for Austin's "World Music" bands of 2007! Would you be willing to take a few minutes and vote for us?

The link is here:

Austin Chronicle Poll

You just fill out your info and you can do as much of the poll as you like! To vote for us, scroll down to the "Best Performing Bands" section and type in "Joel Laviolette and Rattletree Marimba" in the "World Music" space. Thats it!

If you're feeling really inspired, you could also vote for our album (Rattletree Live EP) as album of the year, or maybe Rattletree as band of the year.

Here are some other suggestions for the other categories!

What's that you ask? Of course there is still time to vote for Rattletree in the Chronicle! You don't even have to live in Austin! Never mind all the other categories I posted above, Just go to the link and put us for Best "Wold Music" band(whatever that means?!?)!!!

Well that's pretty cool! We won third place-behind our friends Atash and some person I've never heard of. Thanks for your help!
