Welcome to the Feed The Beat Virtual Music Festival
Feed The Beat Returns! Sign Up Now.
August 20th, 2010
After four successful years and rewarding more than 265 bands, we’re proud to announce the return of the Feed the Beat program! This year, Taco Bell continues to search for bands “outside the bun” in the music industry to provide them with free Fourthmeal – the late night meal between dinner and breakfast – to fuel bands on tour while also bringing bands opportunities to gain exposure for their music. Taco Bell will again conduct a nationwide search for 100 bands and provide them with one month’s supply of Fourthmeal ($500 in $5 Taco Bell Bucks per band). With no need to stand in line, “auditions” for Feed the Beat launch today and continue until Friday, September 17. Interested bands can visit http://www.feedthebeat.com/signup for more information.

SXSW: We Came, We Rocked, We Fed
March 25th, 2010
Feed The Beat had a great time at SXSW in Austin last week at the Purevolume House. The tacos and burritos were flowing like Border Sauce and the music was great! We were glad to help supply some bands for their week-long performances at the house and to help feed the Austin masses. We hope everyone enjoyed their SXSW Fourthmeal!
