What is Fame Games

Fame Games is not “just a music radio show.” In fact, it’s nothing short of a revolution in how music is selected and promoted today. Fame Games gives the best independent artists valuable A&R opportunities, advice and career guidance, as well as a potentially massive new audience through network radio play based on merit (finally!), compiled daily using a sophisticated song evaluation system.

Fame Games introduces discerning listeners to the very best new music, produced by “undiscovered” independent and “unsigned” artists. Shockingly, the quality of music which reaches the top of the Fame Games charts easily rivals (and often outstrips) the quality of music listeners are force-fed by national network radio and TV.

Fame Games is formatted as an entertaining, daily radio show, with something for everyone. New music is showcased and discussed and put in context for new fans to discover and embrace. The show is a “front” for MMI’s complex song evaluation system which continues to find the very best new artists and songs every day. The show’s host, DJ Crier, is supported by a diversified judging panel which includes accomplished music industry professionals as well as representatives of divergent demographics, in order to best reflect upon any song’s “crossover” potential.

With incisive song analyses, entertaining presenters, frequent world-famous guests on “The Red Carpet” and most importantly showcases of the best music you never knew existed, Fame Games is guaranteed to keep you glued to your radio day in and day out!

Fame Games also features the exclusive “Cowell Factor,” presented by Tony Cowell (Simon’s older, wiser brother and head of CowellMedia). This strategic alliance has nothing to do with the likes of American Idol or X-Factor. In fact, it’s a wholehearted endorsement of something quite opposite. Tony’s come onboard to help Fame Games to discover (and place!) real, un-manufactured world-class musical talent!

Fame Games airs daily through CitadelMedia (ABC) radio networks, as well as on demand, online on the Fame Games and MeerMusic sites and affiliated sites.

Fame Games is the best place for artists and fans to meet, and entertain realistic hopes of saving the world from bad music!

Full Bio
***More Than Ever #1 on Indie Charts Top 100 Songs!!!***
Finding Jimmy Hoffa originally formed in April of 2007 as a four-piece hard rock group from the remnants of the former popular local band known as Bad Mojo. In their infancy, the band was asked to perform the following summer at the Osceola Music Festival in their hometown where they opened for Black Oak Arkansas, Jim Dandy, and Buddy Jewel to a large enthusiastic audience. This kind of response to their original sound gave the band inspiration to record a self produced 5-song EP titled “What Would You Do” which was recorded at Dream Maker Productions. After completing the recording of the EP, the band realized that a second guitar would be appropriate to add to the group. From this, Jason, James, Joey and Shawn found and recruited Chet to complete the group in early 2008.

Later that year, the band was on a local radio program when they caught the ears of Massey Records President David Vanlandingham. “We heard them on ´´Locals Only´´ a show featuring bands for the mid-south region on 93X and our company (DMA Entertainment) was hosting a ´´charity concert´´ for the homeless so we decided to have the band play. They definitely stole the 6-band lineup show!”

Soon after, Finding Jimmy Hoffa was a member of Massey Records and in the studio recording their upcoming album “Southern Hospitality”. Produced by Mike Bailey (Sleepy LA Beef, The Wedding) Finding Jimmy Hoffa were able to create a hard rock southern grunge feel that they felt captured their sound. David’s view of the bands encounter with Mike was one of great chemistry. “Everything seemed to flow perfectly. Mike Bailey and FJH work so well together. ´´Save Our City´´ was musically written by Mike and Jason (lead singer) wrote the lyrics in 4 minutes.”

Southern Hospitality will be in stores and available online on March 17th 2009. The band will follow up with shows locally and regionally in Memphis followed by a national summer tour.

It won’t take long for the rest of the nation to catch up with them.
´´Finding Jimmy Hoffa is a five piece band blending dark haunting lyrics with growling rythm and a soulful blues-based guitar. The songs on their debut Cd, Southern Hospitality, are a sensory experience that leaves me entranced by the poetic beauty of it all, even long after listening. Dark, painful and poetic, is what best describes Finding Jimmy Hoffa and these guys will definitely charm you with their own brand of ´´Southern Hospitality´´.
