NORTHAMPTON, MA - Nov. 18, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Protect-O-Matic Music Inc. (www.protectomatic.com) announced today that Jive-O-Matic, a new band with a new label using different techniques of marketing, is donating 50% of all their profits from their new CD release "Skipped and Stripped" from sales online and in various stores. Donations go to schools through their Donate-O-Matic Program. Benefiting first, will be schools who are participating with them in what they view as a new approach to the market. As the bands popularity grows, they plan to spend considerable time in schools doing clinics and workshops to bring music to children. Protect-O-Matic Music Inc. is proud to be the new label which signed the band November first of this year. Their plans for Jive-O-Matic not only include a brand new approach to the market, but also a brand new approach to funding and investor security. Loren Weisman, CEO of Protect-O-Matic Music Inc. speaks with confidence about the new approach stating, "Sales has always been about exchanging a benefit for a reward. With Jive-O-Matic, we plan to increase the benefits to apply to many more markets than are traditionally attempted and we are confident that the rewards will follow." Jive-O-Matic's sound is described by the members as Methodically Funky Groove Pop. Kurt Hilborn of Protect-O-Matic Music Inc., who has helped design the marketing plan for the group, calls it, "A unique but familiar sound that mixes influences such as The Black Crowes, Prince, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, and Motown. Jive-O-Matic blends solid grooves with a variety of styles that pulls you in and grabs hold." Jive-O-Matic will be introduced to the public unconventionally. None of the members will be known until the middle of next year. The website has been constructed leaving the musicians as mystery players with nicknames using only Protect-O-Matic Music Inc. as their contact. "This part of the approach brings some mystery to the whole package," states Weisman. Schools and programs that are interested in receiving funds from Jive-O-Matic should email for more information at donate@jiveomatic.com.
