Sony Epic bands collaborate on Kyte channel to show fans life on tour

Emerging Sony Epic bands A Rocket to the Moon, Automatic Love Letter, Cute is What We Aim For, and Secondhand Serenade have joined forces to bring fans a dedicated Kyte channel depicting life on the road while on tour.

The bands have a friendly competition going to determine which Kyte shows will receive the most views. Automatic Love Letter is currently kicking butt with their latest show receiving over 11,000 views! And in the show below, a member of Secondhand Serenade is baffled by how Kyte works. Now that he knows about live streaming, perhaps we’ll see some more candid clips from the tour bus and Secondhand Serenade will get their show views up?

Fans can watch the Kyte channel on each of the band's MySpace pages. Or, fans can click on the Get & Share tab at the bottom of the player and embed the channel on their own social networks, websites or blogs to stay up to date on all of the Kyte shows the bands will be creating on tour.

AC/DC allows fans to upload videos on Kyte channel

Legendary rock group AC/DC is using its branded Kyte channel to allow fans to share their experiences, memories and passion for one of the greatest bands of all time.

Fans have been uploading video from the band's current tour and the content has been great! One fan was interviewed with the Kyte Mobile Producer application and showed off his autographed jacket and the AC/DC buttons he's collected over the years. While another rowdy group of fans uploaded video of their tailgate before the concert.

To upload video to the channel, fans simply click on the Produce tab in the top right of the Player. And once the show is approved, it is instantly available everywhere the AC/DC Kyte channel is embedded — social networks, blogs and websites.

This is a great example of a brand incorporating user generated content into its Kyte channel and engaging with an audience of fans. Rock on!
