Indie Musician Pranks Starbucks to Become Song of the Week

During NXNE, Gavin Slate took an unconventional marketing tactic to get his song out to the public and he secretly filmed the whole thing as his music video. It's a little awesome.

If planting cards in Starbucks doesn't work then following it up with a viral video will do the trick!

Good song btw

Pretty good song, and also pretty smart idea. Very smart to feature prominently Starbucks and to mention and gesture as to just how great Starbucks is. So then Starbucks won't ask for a takedown as they see it as free publicity.

Nice work sir. Nice work.

He be drinkin' a lot of coffee that day.

Nice track, and nearly 9,000 views on youtube.

I think startbucks should let this one go, but it could set a dangerous precedent!

Life is a series of near hits, not near misses.

Near misses ARE hits.

Kinda sucks for whatever struggling indie artist was the legitimate pick of the week...
