Hey team... A small riddle... What do you get when you cross one of the most talented and influential artists of all time, with the sickest website and street team on the planet? A very happy street team!!! That's right, as of today, we are officially the street team of the mighty Nine Inch Nails!!! Trent and company will be embarking on their first US tour in 5 years, Fragility v 2.0, with special guest Perfect Circle featuring Tool Vocalist Maynard James Keenan.

The tour kicks off April 12 in Cleveland, and we are lucky enough to be able to help promote it. We will need everyone who wants to be involved to go tohttp://www.loudside.com/t otalassault/nin.html and sign up. It will be on a first come first serve basis, so if you want to get in, go sign up NOW!! Because, obviously, the team space is limited, and will fill-up soon, we need to put everyone to a little test first. Go to 10 websites with guestbooks, or yahoo or aol message boards, or wherever you feel like it, and post the following. Then copy the urls and put them in the URL blanks on the signup sheet.

Nine Inch Nails will begin their U.S. tour "Fragility v2.0" beginning April 12, with opening act A Perfect Circle, featuring Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan. With this tour the mighty NIN return to U.S. stages for the first time in 5 years. The tour will cover 45 dates. NIN's "The Fragile" debuted at #1 on the billboard charts in September, and is in stores now. You can find tour dates, join the street team, and check out more on Nine Inch Nails and all of your favorite artists at www.loud side.com.

This will be a rad campaign, and the first 300 people who pass the test and sign up will receive a ton of NIN paraphnelia from the Loudside stash including NIN and Loudside t-shirts, vinyl, and copies of NIN's latest cd the fragile. We will also have some rad shit to give away at the end of the campaign, including custom made Loudside/Nine Inch Nails snowboards.  At this time, as most of the tour is still not confirmed or announced, we are not sure what cities we will be activating teamers in, as it will depend on the tour markets. But it's 43 dates, so pretty much if you are in a major or big secondary market, and you sign up you will be activated. The confirmed markets are Mineapolis, Madison, Cleveland, LA, NYC, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Detroit, and dates for most of these shows are at the bottom of this email. And even if the tour doesn't come to your town, don't worry because you can still sign up and get in on the action on our virtual team, and help promote online.

So get posting, and get in on the action before it's too late. As you can imagine, since NIN is arguably one of the biggest artists in the world, this will be a very important campaign. So if you are not really into it, and aren't ready to bust your ass to promote the legendary NIN, then this isn't the one for you. We'd also like to give our most heartfelt thanks to Trent, Leslie, Amy, John and all at Nothing Records for believing in us.
