Emerging Company Makes Big Business Out Of Backstage

LOS ANGELES - July 28, 2014 - PRLog -- The Backstage Artist Lounge just completed several back-to-back dates on tour with Avenged Sevenfold and several other popular bands. Decking out the artists’ backstage area with advertisers selected and approved by the Backstage Artist Lounge, it was an experiential marketing extravaganza. Band members received samples of everything from healthy fruit snack company, Matt’s Munchies, to e-cigs by ReVolver and stylish men’s boots by Testosterone Shoes. Social media activity was off the charts as images were shared and tagged across every digital platform. In addition to Avenged Sevenfold, the line-up included Korn, Asking Alexandria, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Suicide Silence, Miss May I, Emmure, Mushroomhead, Texas Hippie Coalition, Veil Of Maya , Upon A Burning Body, Darkest Hour, Ill Nino, Wretched, Islander, King 810, Erimha and Body Count Featuring ICE T. Ice T’s wife, reality-star, Coco, also shopped and hung out in the Backstage Artist Lounge.

Always exciting, backstage-access is the most alluring part of every concert. Before and after show time, what do rock stars actually do backstage? Backstage Artist Lounge answers this question for dedicated fans, because Backstage Artist Lounge actually is responsible for producing artist-experiences backstage. Backstage Artist Lounge also offers many opportunities for fans to watch exclusive content from backstage and even win passes to backstage! The coolest bands and brands in the world are inside the Backstage Artist Lounge every year.

Intrepid Jewelry, debuted their body jewelry including large-gauge earrings handmade from stone, wood, horn and bone—now being worn by members of Trivium, Suicide Slience, Asking Alexandria, Korn and Upon A Burning Body.

Dr. Squatch Soap was also a hit! A natural, invigorating, manly soap for men, these bar soaps give touring artists a fighting chance of smelling good this summer. Danny Worsnop, Lead singer for Asking Alexandria, enjoyed this soap so much that he shared a photo on Instagram to his followers and received 11,465 likes…and counting!
