Chili Pepper listening parties to be held at Apple Stores
It's great to see that when the Peppers (finally) decide to commit to something, they really dive in: iLounge is reporting
that on May 2nd at 6:30 pm local time, Apple Stores in the U.S., Canada and UK will hold listening parties for the
band's new album, Stadium Arcadium, set to land on May 9th. The stores will play all 28 songs from the new album and
will be giving away a limited number of iTunes cards so fans can download the new single, "Dani California"
(iTMS
link). Let's also not forget that pre-ordering the new album enters you into a contest for a logo-engraved, 60 GB
Chili Peppers iPod, and gives you access to a Ticketmaster pre-sale for the band's North American tour.Share

Wow.. not that many RHCP fans here on TUAW.
It's nice the band is doing all of this promotion. Some may call it a sellout, but I don't see it that way. Love that band... have since "Freaky Styley", "Abbey Road EP" (the famous socks "placed").
From an Apple store promotion, or lack thereof, it would be nice if their calendars reflected this. Or at least somewhere on their page.
I'm pretty sure that the Chili Peppers were holding out on entering the iTMS market until they had a new album ready. It's a marketing thing.
