Exotic Erotic Ball Party 2008 San Francisco

"The Ball" is widely considered the world's #1 adult-themed party event with live entertainment on five stages. The Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo is over its 29-year history, headliners have included Joan Jett, Chris Isaak, Grace Jones, Greg Allman, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, and Everclear. The Genitorturers will perform on the Ball's musical stage, and performance artist Mobius8 will bring his mind-altering musical multimedia stage show to the Ball's electronic stage. 30,000 revelers are expected to attend.
 

 

 

"This is a natural collaboration," says Ball founder Perry Mann. "The Ball is visible, and virtually any band with a sexy lead singer or provocative lyrics feels they are a great fit with the show. Many of them are. The problem for us is that we receive hundreds of DVD's, CD's, mp3’s, emails, and links. We just don’t have the time or manpower to sift through them. This has always bothered me, because I have a real commitment to Indie music. Our relationship with Sonicbids allows us to show that support. Every submission goes to the same place, they get heard and rated; we can see video and read bios, and it’s all online, no switching between mediums. I look forward to shaking hands with the 2008 winners on stage at the Ball."

"There is so much creative musical talent among today’s independent and unsigned bands," says David Ellis of Sonicbids, an event sponsor, and collaborator on the Ball’s Indie Music initiative. "When a long-running event like the Exotic Erotic Ball acknowledges this by actively looking to the Indies to discover the right talent for their event – and then gives that talent VIP treatment and the chance to play before an audience size usually reserved for signed acts – this is something we can get behind. We heard great things from the bands they selected last year, and look forward to offering up our platform again for them to discover 3 new bands in 2008."
