(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 17, 2008 ) Dallas, TX - InfamousGuitar.com and Kyrsten, lead guitarist from San Diego band “Magnuson” are teaming up to promote the Infamousguitar.com $10,000 Habitat for Humanity Challenge.
“We chose Kyrsten for several reasons,” says Sean Hansen, editor of Infamousguitar.com. “She’s a killer guitar player, she’s a member at our site InfamousGuitar.com, she’s uber-hot, her band rocks, and she’s all in all a really cool chick. So, we’re going to put her face out there to help grow our site, promote Habitat for Humanity, and get her band noticed. It’s a win-win-win-win, the fourth win being whoever eventually receives the benefits from Habitat for Humanity as a result of our contribution.”
The InfamousGuitar.com Habitat for Humanity challenge is a combination membership drive and fundraiser. If InfamousGuitar.com gets 10,000 members on its site in 2008, they will donate $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity by the end of the year.
“Habitat for Humanity is undoubtedly our favorite charity. Everyone needs a home, and Habitat gives people who are down on their luck a chance to work together with others to build themselves a home,” offers John Kirkwood, webmaster of Infamous Guitar. “You can’t beat it. They’re technically a charity, but they don’t give handouts, they give hands-up. Which we all need from time to time.”
Kyrsten’s band, Magnuson, is going places. They’ve toured nationally, and are getting lots of air time on the college stations with their single “Strange Lights". Their music video "Hopeless Rerun" generated industry accolades in the Rock Star 98.7 video competition. “Just listen to them, ad you’ll hear a band that actually manages to take the three-piece rock trio to a new place,” offers Hansen. “I’m glad we get to say ‘we knew them when…’ ”.
InfamousGuitar.com has just begun its first monthly guitar solo competition in May 2008, and has already had over a half million pages viewed on its site. Many guitar players and fans from the now-complete 2007 Guitar Center King of the Blues competition have migrated to InfamousGuitar.com, and its membership has grown into the hundreds, primarily through word-of-mouth viral marketing. InfamousGuitar.com expects thousands of members and millions of unique visitors during its 2008-2009 Online Guitar Solo Contest.
