FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 2000

Enet7, a company dedicated to promoting bands and local music scenes, today announced the launch of its Web site, Enet7.com.

Enet7 is a community where fans can instantly access music and information from up-and-coming regional bands. Initially featuring artists from the San Francisco Bay Area, Enet7 has future plans for New York and Los Angeles.

Local artists gain exposure for their music through Enet7's artist profile, which includes a biography and streaming audio samples. Support for Windows and Real Networks streaming allows for copyright protection and saves fans download time.

"The Internet is growing logarithmically," said Shelley Doty, of the Shelley Doty X-tet. "As an artist it is crucial to put down roots in a few key places. Enet7 is a good place to explore the obvious benefits of being part of an online community - one that mirrors a local community of musicians."

Bands featured on www.enet7.com will have their work reviewed by Enet7's Robert Cutarella, an active member of the entertainment industry who has spent the last twenty-five years working with such music legends as The Police, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Robert Cutarella has produced albums for GRP/MCA, Sony, Polygram and Bitter End, is constantly searching for talent that can be placed in other areas of entertainment such as television or films.

"Enet7 is carving out a niche for itself in the sizeable abyss of e-commerce record labels by utilizing specialized marketing and emphasizing each artist's individual strengths," said Robert. "Our online sampler, targeted for film and television usage, will expose Enet7 artists to new audiences at the speed of the digital revolution."
