Matador and Beggars are some hip cats

Not too long ago I read about Beggars Group needing help in Chicago with their street team on Under The Rotunda. I decided to check it out and I've now joined their street team. It's a pretty sweet deal. You get free promotional stuff and you can win some special edition things or merch by just promoting great bands. The record labels that are a part of Beggars Group are Beggars Banquet, XL, 4AD, Matador, Mantra, Mo'Wax, Too Pure, and Wiiija. Some excellent bands on these labels include:

Cat Power, Stephen Malkmus, The New Pornographers, The Ponys, Yo La Tengo, A.C. Newmen, Belle & Sebastian (Matador)

The National, St. Vincent (Beggars Banquet)

Vampire Weekend, Devendra Banhert, Ratatat, RJD2, The Raconteurs, Tapes n' Tapes, Thom Yorke, White Stripes (XL)

Blonde Redhead, The Mountain Goats, M Ward (4AD)

If this sounds like fun to you, send an email to ClaireTaylor@Beggars.com and she'll inform you with more details.

Thanks Keith for the info!
