Marketing Help For Unsigned Bands

New Technology Makes the World an Oyster for Independent Artists

New computer technology allows unknown entertainers to tell the world who they are and what they do. It's mind boggling... and we can't possibly keep up with the changes much less learn everything we would like to know about these incredible tools. However, if we are to succeed in today's show business environment, we must learn to embrace at least a few of these computer necessities. The word processor, database, e-mail and internet - web site components are an absolute must. And, it wouldn't hurt to get reasonably familiar with one of the basic graphics or page maker programs as well. If you are completely illiterate when it comes to computers, you'll have to rely on a friend, or establish somewhat of a relationship with your local business center for many of your office requirements.

Bands On Warped Tour: The Academy Is

THE ACADEMY IS...: Slow Down


The Academy Is was one of my favorite bands when they first came out. I remember when the lead singer was in some acoustic band that sounded a lot like Dashboard Confessional. Their album "Almost Here" was literally perfect as albums come and go in that genre. Sadly I wasn't a huge fan of the follow up.

They do put on one amazing show and I look forward to seeing them on Warped Tour. The band will be on the entire Warped Tour.
