More contentious was the vote on Ukraine aid, which came after months of infighting among House Republicans. But lawmakers voted 311 to 112 with one member voting present to approve the aid, despite the steep pushback from some House conservatives. The package consists of four bills that were voted on separately and will be combined into one before being sent to the Senate. The first three bills include $60.8 billion to help Ukraine in its war with Russia; $26.4 billion to support Israel, which is fighting Hamas and Iran; and $8.1 billion to counter China in the Indo-Pacific. Humanitarian aid for Gaza, which Democrats said was necessary for their support, is also included. “Good Mythical Evening” will premiere via Moment House on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.
April 24, 2024 - US university protests
Moment House has already made a name for itself with events beyond the music sphere. It was the host platform for Clive Davis’ virtual “pre-Grammy gala” — both the first half of it, which took place for a VIP invite-only audience in January, and the second half, just announced for May. The company has also hosted non-musical events like an hour-long interview Halsey did for fans to promote her book of poetry.

L.A.-based Moment (moment.co) had raised $13.5 million in funding from investors including Halsey, UTA, Zaiko and Forerunner Ventures, according to Crunchbase. That social aspect is the one Moment House is most looking to experiment with in coming months. Fans love chatting during a stream in the familiar rectangle to the right of the performance screen, but with thousands of viewers online and eager to converse, there may be new frontiers to slow it down and allow fans to get a room, as it were.

CAIR chapter in Austin condemns "unnecessary and excessive force" by officers arresting protesters
Rhett & Link’s upcoming “Good Mythical Evening,” set to air Sept. 1, is a pay-per-view comedy and variety entertainment special based on their daily talk show. Tickets for the one-night-only event are priced starting at $21.99 each. His strategy of releasing his specials on YouTube and clips of his stand-up across social media platforms has become the new standard for comedians around the world. New York native and internationally touring stand-up comic and podcaster, Andrew Schulz, is known for his hilarious and unfiltered comedy. Andrew just closed out his 10 month, sold-out North American "Infamous Tour," selling out Radio City Music Hall's 6,000+ seats twice in one night.
Cole also rolled out an aggressive timeline for offices to submit their project requests, with a May 3 deadline. Offices are then required to post their requests online by May 17, in keeping with the program’s transparency rules. Earlier this month Cole began sounding out colleagues on the potential tweak that would bar nonprofits from receiving “community project funding” under the HUD grant program, as CQ Roll Call first reported. Republicans took issue with earmarks that aided the LGBTQ community that House Democrats had sought in the Transportation-HUD bill last year, and Cole has said he wants to eliminate “political” earmarks.

CEO Marty Michael tells me he’s excited for even more independent shows to get in on it, especially since they’ve already seen a “halo effect” of sales from the existing relationships that advertisers have with Headgum shows. Jacksepticeye, the hugely popular YouTube gaming creator, will debut his biographical documentary “How Did We Get Here? ” as a ticketed, livestreaming event exclusively on the Moment House platform. Creator subscription platform Patreon has acquired Moment, which provides a platform for hosting and ticketing livestreamed events. Sam Berger is being named head of music, coming over from Spotify’s artist & label marketing team. Michele Bernstein, the company’s new marketing strategist, arrives from WME.
Building Hype and Promoting Your Event
Artists earn 100 percent of the ticket revenue and Moment House collects a service fee from fans. The company has attempted to prove that out with a slate of imaginative concerts (called “Moments”) tailored for at-home audiences with artists like Kygo, Kaytranada, Brockhampton, Marina, Bryson Tiller, Grouplove and Omar Apollo. Early investors included Troy Carter, Scooter Braun, Steve Stoute and his company UnitedMasters, Kygo and his manager Myles Shear, Post Malone’s co-manager Austin Rosen, Logic’s manager Chris Zarou and Jared Leto. Moment House was founded in 2019 out of the Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre Academy for Innovation at USC.
Yesterday, the writer Damon Young published an op-ed in The Washington Post Magazine, outlining the two choices that he feels he’s facing as a creator of a forthcoming Spotify show, considering that Joe Rogan has caused many creators to question whether to keep aligning with the platform. Looking ahead, co-founder and CEO Arjun Mehta says Moment House’s success will not be contingent on the course of the pandemic. Rather, the platform is going to expand its capabilities, redefining what it means to attend a concert.
Moment (formerly known as Moment House) touts itself as the top digital events platform for artists and creators, including Justin Bieber, Tame Impala, Kygo, Pod Save America and the “Good for You” podcast hosted by comedian Whitney Cummings. The company was founded in 2019 — right before the COVID pandemic hit — by Arjun Mehta, Nigel Egrari and Shray Bansal. Rhett & Link’s Mythical entertainment company partnered with social live media platform Moment House to produce the “Good Mythical Evening” event. Launched last year, Moment House has soared out of the gate with over 700 “moments,” processing 1M tickets for artists like Bieber, Halsey, Kygo, Tame Impala, Kaytranada, and St. Vincent. In addition to big headliners, the self-service platform has also hosted countless emerging creators who have built one-of-a-kind digital performances for fans, generating tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in revenue per moment. Moment House has been live-streaming podcast recordings, called “Moments,” since March 2021, and I’m told that the company has sold 140,000 tickets over the course of the 56 that it’s hosted since then.
Now that the US House of Representatives, acting in an unusually bipartisan way, has finally passed a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine, the big question is what the Ukrainians should spend it on. "Sending in a massive armed police force to arrest students advocating for peace sends the wrong message and only exacerbates tensions further,” Zayan said in a statement. The dean of Columbia College, the undergraduate liberal arts college at Columbia University, sent an email Wednesday to alumni about the protests on campus, describing it as a "difficult moment" for the New York school. The demonstration at USC escalated when protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, Provost Andrew T. Guzman said in a statement posted online.
Tame Impala performing his 2010 debut Innerspeaker from the oceanside studio where the album was made. St. Vincent bringing fans back to the ’70s in a psychedelic concert with a full band. Isaiah Rashad performing his album The House is Burning in, well, a burning house. “Upsells” that can only be had in the moment add to the experience and may help keep ticket costs reasonable despite the sometimes high production values evident in some of Moment House’s programming. “Similar to previous reforms made in this Congress, this change aims to ensure projects are consistent with the community development goals of the federal program,” Cole said Thursday in a letter to lawmakers announcing the new ban.
Plus, check out upcoming moments with Michelle Branch, Tinashe, Seether, and more. Following the acquisition, the first Moment event will be Crooked Media’s Pod Save America Live from Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Oct. 19, featuring special guests Sen. John Fetterman, chef José Andrés and Virginia State Senate candidate Jennifer Carroll Foy. "Performative album films are the new music video, that's really what this is" says Moment House co-founder Arjun Mehta.
You fully own the rights to any events hosted on Moment House and can reuse or rebroadcast the content. Dre” Academy, Moment House cut its teeth on music while continuing to find new use-cases among a growing list of creator categories. As the company engages new audiences, the team is also strengthening its roster with executive talent from Spotify, Apple Music, United Talent Agency, and WME.
The self-described "social live media platform" which has powered virtual concerts for Tame Impala and Isaiah Rashad just secured $12 million in Series A funding, led by Forerunner Ventures. To date, the company has sold some 1 million tickets for live online events for artists including Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Halsey, Kygo and Christina Aguilera. Since the creator economy is so large and nuanced, Mehta says his team is helping artists and performers become more creative about what they can offer their superfans — and the moment’s value prop. “You have to completely rethink the way you’re approaching different types of creators,” he says.
A few moments later, the resident reported that someone shot one of the intruders, police said. It was later confirmed at a brief press conference that the homeowner was the person who shot at the suspects. Nelson and others, including activist Denis Hayes, worked to expand the idea beyond college campuses, with events all around the country, and came up with the Earth Day name. Millions of people around the world will pause on Monday, at least for a moment, to mark Earth Day.
Casey McCabe, newly appointed head of live music & strategy, has come over from AEG Presents. But Moment House is looking to expand more into other genres of music that haven’t been as well represented in livestreams, and beyond that, to move into non-musical areas like comedy and masterclasses. This growth figures into seven key hires the company is announcing today. The House acted not a moment too soon in passing an aid package so Kyiv can get US-made artillery shells, air-defense systems and drones. The Council on American-Islamic Relations chapter in Austin, Texas, condemned “unnecessary and excessive force” used by police officers Wednesday to arrest students protesting the Israel-Hamas war. Los Angeles Police Department officers are arresting protesters at the University of Southern California for criminal trespassing after a dispersal order was announced by campus police at a university park.
