Beatnik Turtle is an indie rock band from Chicago formed in 1998.
In 2007, Beatnik Turtle began TheSongOfTheDay.com, where they released an original, free-to-download song every day during 2007 as a podcast.
[1] This was accomplished in part through the involvement of numerous "guest" musicians and other creative individuals who contributed their efforts to the project.
In 2006, Beatnik Turtle published an online guide for indie bands called the Indie Band Survival Guide, written by sax player Randy Chertkow.
[2][3] The guide was published in book form in 2008 with co-author credit to band member/founder, Jason Feehan.
