From the creator of ‘The Rejection Show’ comes ‘The Rejection Show Music Series’—Produced and Hosted by Jon Friedman (The Rejection Show) and Sara Schaefer (AOL’s The DL).

The Rejection Show Music Series gives bands, singer-songwriters and musicians the chance to do a combination of the following:

*Take risks and try things that they think would otherwise be rejected by other events/shows/venues (doing their songs in a different way, a really “out there” cover song)

*Songs that were left off of their album(s)

*Cover songs that inspired them during a time that they were feeling most rejected.

*Songs on their albums that have to do with the rejection theme and tell the story behind it

And more!

This is a brand new website

Do you like it?  We’re still working on it and all that stuff.  There are some kinks and probably some grammar errors (did I spell grammar correctly?) But take a look around.  Check out the info for submitting for the book, Rejected.

The first ever DUO-TACULAR is this week!

We’re up to the May Rejection Show already?!  It seems like only few months ago that it was the March Rejection Show.  Anyhoo, this month’s show is a special edition Rejection Show.  The Duo-tacular!  That’s rejected material, stories, videos and performances from some of NYC’s favorite comedy teams.  But we also have special non duo guest Matthew Vescovo from MTV’s Watch and Learn animated ad campaign.  He’s bringing some rejected material. Here’s his website.  And I’ll be hosting and The Rejection Show house band The Defibulators will be there too!  Ya know?
