[NEWS] April 9, 2012 - Third Annual FGC Sticker Design Contest: Win a free ticket to Summer Camp Festival!

For the third year running, we're calling upon YOU the fans to design FGC's next sticker. The winner is awarded a full weekend pass to Summer Camp Festival! (Note: Prize is transferable if winner cannot attend the festival.)


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• Email your entry as an attachment to fgcstickers@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name and phone number in the body of the email. All entries will receive an email response within 24 hours to confirm receipt. If you do not receive a confirmation, please check back with us!

• Feel free to submit as many designs as you like.

• Entries due by May 4, 2012.

• Winner chosen by FGC's esteemed panel of judges (i.e. the band) and will be announced on May 7, 2012.

ARTWORK GUIDELINES

• Artwork should include "Family Groove Company" or "FGC" (duh)

• Any size square/rectangle or circle/oval design is acceptable; we don't want to cramp your artistic style. We'll take care of the final size requirements if we choose your design. Keep in mind, the sticker's print size will be fairly small (~8 square inches total).

• Both digitally-designed and scanned hand-drawn designs are accepted, and any image format is fine (jpg, gif, psd, etc). 300dpi is best. Unflattened Photoshop files preferred, but not required.

• No color restrictions; designs can be full color.

• If you have any questions, please drop us an email at fgcstickers@gmail.com

The fine print:
FGC reserves the right to change the design slightly for printability. Winning submission becomes the property of FGC and no compensation, other than the contest prize, will be distributed to entrants. Festival ticket prize is transferable to a person other than the contest winner for a $25 fee paid at the festival box office.

[NEWS] March 19, 2012 - Killer Shows at the Riv and the Canopy in the Books, Big Nights at the Miramar and the Vic Around the Corner!

Hope you've all been enjoying this incredible weather! Big thanks to all of you who joined us at the Riviera last month, and of course thanks go out to everyone in the moe. camp for having us aboard. The band had a blast - click here to check out video of a rockin' American Girl cover and photos from the show.

We also had a wonderful time at the Jay Goldberg Events and Entertainment 40th anniversary party earlier this month. Thanks to the Jay Goldberg family for having us - it was a privilege to perform at such a special event!

And to top off the recap, the band also had a killer night at the Canopy Club earlier this month - FGC's whopping 25th appearance at the Canopy! Thanks very much to Mike, Ian, Nate and the whole crew for taking such good care of us.

Looking ahead, the band is gearing up for a return to Milwaukee at the end of the month, followed by stops in Iowa City and Dekalb early in April. Later in April, FGC is very happy to announce that the band will join good friends Cornmeal and Hot Buttered Rum for a very special night at the Vic Theatre in Chicago on April 20!

Lots of great stuff around the corner, and Summer Camp's drawing nearer every day! Looking forward to seeing you all out at the shows!
