1.\tWhat is your name and email address?
\nChristopher Buttner, chris@prthatrocks.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\tWhat is your website url and name?
\nhttp:\/\/www.prthatrocks.com<\/a> – PRThatRocks.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\tWhat is your Twitter username?
\n@prthatrocks<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

4.\tGive us a one sentence pitch for what you do and why we need to visit your site?

5.\tOne word of advice you would give a band that you just saw in a club?
\nPractice. <\/strong><\/p>\n

6.\tYour first concert? Who, Where and When?
\nKiss, Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, February 21, 1977 \u2013 Sammy Hagar opened. <\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\tYour first album?
\nAs a child, I wore out the soundtrack to \u201cChitty Chitty Bang Bang,\u201d but my Rock n\u2019 Roll spiritual awakening was \u201cMeet The Beatles. \u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

8.\tDo you prefer CD, Vinyl or Digital and why?
\nEven though I am a snob for fidelity, and my favorite 400 discs are still in my home stereo carousel player, which is frequently on when I am home, I have to prioritize Digital over CD and Vinyl, the latter of which was completely purged from my life in late 80\u2019s. Therefore, Digital is my #1, because the iPod provides the ability to quickly create massive playlists and the iPhone is the perfect tool for discovering new, or never heard before, music through Pandora on Slacker Radio. <\/strong><\/p>\n

9.\tAre you or were you ever in a band?
\nMany \u2013 Heavy Metal, Hard and Progressive Rock, Power Pop. Bassist, synthesizers, and background vocals, all badly. Started on guitar at 10-years old. If you ever heard me play guitar, you\u2019d understand why I gravitated to the bass. If you ever heard me play bass, you\u2019d understand why I\u2019m a publicist. <\/strong><\/p>\n

10.\tIf you could be a rock star, who would you be?
\nA unique and flamboyant bass-playing, multi-instrumentalist and singing personality hybrid of my heroes; Geddy Lee, Tom Petersson, John Entwhistle, Gene Simmons, Steve Harris, John Myung, Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, and Sting. <\/strong><\/p>\n
