Sample Newsletter
You're a little skeptical of the newsletter, eh? NoCo totally understands, a lot of newsletters just market to you non-stop. But we try to do much more than that (more content, not more marketing). Here's a real sample of a typical newsletter.

Look Your Best, You're On TV!
So you already know all about our huge music video release tonight at State Theater, right? You already know to get there at 8:30 PM because the video is showing first? Damn straight.
But did you also know the entire concert is going to be web cast live all over the world and shown later on subsidiaries of MTV and VH1? Well if you didn't, we just told you!
If you don't live in Virginia, DC, Maryland, or any other nearby state and aren't coming to the show then you can watch the show live from our home page at http://nocorock.com/ or our MySpace starting at 9:00 PM US Eastern time (EST). If you've always dreamed of seeing NoCo live but haven't made a show yet, this is your chance!
Just remember seeing the show in a 300 x 300 frame over a slow Internet connection is not nearly as awesome as being there in person. And anyone who's thinking about shirking the show to catch it online instead should remember we probably delivered tickets to you and there's a good chance we know where you live. No no, it's not a threat... I'm just sayin'...
Quick Guide To Being Cool on TV
Some of you have a coolness problem. I won't pick on anyone in particular... and you have no idea how tempting it was to just call someone out. But regardless of how many Fonzis you rank on the coolness meter, we're here to help you out with some quick tips for being cool on TV and avoiding common pitfalls of uncoolness.
DO:
- Have a good time rocking out. Jump. Yell. You might even push a person or two. But please don't push my mom or I'll never hear the end of it.
- Sing along. Better you than William - there's a reason his vocals are practically bottomed out of the mix.
- Have a few drinks. At the risk of glorifying alcoholism, let's face it - some of you are just more fun that way.
- Stick around for the other bands after us - Redshift, The Blackjacks, and of course The Speaks. This party goes all night long. And as alleged felon R. Kelly once said "after the show it's the after party." If you want to come, talk to us at the show.
- Throw panties at Jack on stage. But only nice clean lacy ones, no granny panties!
DON'T:
- Get there late. You'll miss our video and we won't feel the least bit bad for your tardy butt.
- Flash the cameras. Seriously, it's not Girls Gone Wild and there might be kids watching. They deserve high quality Internet images and not grainy web cam shots. Don't ruin Internet pornography for them.
- Make it a personal mission to bring back fashions from decades you weren't living in.
- Get caught picking your nose. If you gotta do it, head for the bathroom or just stand in a group of really tall people and keep your head down.
- Shout "Freebird." No one likes that song and it's not fair for us to punish everyone else at the concert by actually playing it. You could try being original and shouting "Space Oddity" or "I Can See for Miles," but I think it goes without saying that people like you go to Hell one day.
The Final Word
We're keeping this one short because we know that you'll take about five hours to get ready for the show now that it's being broadcast live. Just remember everyone is beautiful on the inside... but a little bit of primping never hurt anybody either.
And don't forget: State Theater tonight, 8:30 PM!
Thanks to everyone for their continued support. We look forward to putting on an awesome show with all of you tonight!
Jack, Justin, and William
