News From the Black Rock Coalition (BRC)
from Jimmy Saal BRC-NY, Director of Operations

The BRC is happy to announce that our website is finally open for business.

The BRC site includes background information on the organization, as well as info on both BRC albums -- The History Of Our Future and Blacker Than That -- plus audio samples. We also have lots of great links, with more to come.

We're already working on the upgrade, which will include: an online newsletter with current news and interviews, a BRC photogallery, more soundfiles, and a BRCshop where you can purchase records, gear and more. We're even planning a variety of contests and giveaways -- and much, much more!

So check us out (don't forget to bookmark us once you get there) and then let us know what you think. Your suggestions, critiques and positive feedback will help us build a better site. If you have a website of your own, be sure to link to the BRC site so that we can spread the word.
