What is an E-Team?
E-Teams are comprised of groups of fans that get together to help expose their favorite band to friends and fellow music listeners on the web. Members create their own fan-sites, post banners, instant message people, visit chat-rooms and bulletin boards and send e-cards. The team spreads the word throughout the world wide web via bulletin board postings, sending streams to songs, and emails. Members also make radio station and video channel requests.
What do I have to do as an E-Team member?
To spread the word about Finger Eleven, you can post about the band in chat rooms, sending links to music streams of the band's music or links to their site to your friends via email, and by visiting music sites, sports & gaming sites, and your other favorite sites and posting about the band. Please supply a link to the band's website so new fans can visit and listen to their music. Please do not spam sites with multiple posts. Promote the band and let us know about what you are doing by filling out the E-Team Feedback Report located in the Exclusive Area and posting your feedback, ideas, and questions on the Finger Eleven Bulletin Board. Call radio stations and request Finger Eleven. Get your favorite record store in the know by hooking them up with flyers. Check and see if they have the Finger Eleven CD in stock. Call or email you favorite video channel (MTV, MTV2, MUCHMUSICUSA, etc) with your request for Finger Eleven.

What about Canadians and other non-US residents?
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept non-US residents at this time. Because bands have different record companies for each different country in that their album may be released, it makes it difficult to coordinate activities elsewhere and with the US. However, any fan is invited to promote Finger Eleven using the materials we have created on the Finger Eleven E-Team page. Also, sign up for Finger Eleven E-news to stay in touch with what's happening with the band.
