@mambo Hi. You are right - our home page lacks info on the service - we need to make it more dynamic and more illustrative. Thanks for the comment. Each profile is assigned to a unique URL, so it's up to the bands to promote them before, during or after their gigs. this can be done be...

Hi. I am working on a project called Fanteraction that allows bands to create mobile websites for their gigs. In other words, create Mobile-optimized band sites for looking up info before/after & during the break - info being bios, links, songs and lyrics, being able to sell songs at gigs...

Help anyone ? :-)

Hi all. Name is Robin. With a friend we thought of this idea we found pretty cool so we deceided to try to develop it as a free service for bands. The initial idea is to allow bands to share their lyrics and bios and other content before, during and after a gig with fans through iPhones...

Hi I'm organizing a gig with 5 bands on the bill for some website promo launch and I would like to send out press releases to local media. But this is my first time so I decided to launch a thread on how to this properly. How much time in advance should bands send them out? How to approach...

Hey poeple. The title kind of says it all :) Any advice? Cheers. Gig.

@Unbeliever: Well I must admit I phrased that very badly. I don't have any intentions what so ever to 'steal' quotes from you guys. In my blog I like quoting bands because it just spreads good concrete advice to other bands, and the feedback I get is positive. And everytime I do so I tell...

Hi. Great blog! Nice to see someone speaking out in such a straight forward manner about this. I've read a couple of articles and loved your input on the matter. Very good read. Keep up the good work. In my blog I covered a topic on pay-to-play gigs and got some rather nice insights...

no circumstances really, just checkin for cool anecdotes. I always love hearing about this stuff. Being polite can help, if really the guy is clueless about what hes doing wrong. Usually musicians have tough egos, so it often ends in a bloody mess. As is said, I haven't fired anybody yet...

I never really ahd to it could my bands just tended to dismantle all by themselves. Anybody got some good advice on how to lay down the bad news, or any funny anecdotes?

Hi Was wondering if when you share a gig with another band, how do you organize yourselves so to promote it?

They are a strange breed of business men. Anyone care to share a little insight on how to deal with those guys to secure gigs?

Musicians? Broke? never...:) yea man good job. Waiting for the next post. Mind if I ask you to comment on my blog? I have been working on a blog for bands for 5 months now. Topics include indie band quotes on touring/booking/promotion matters, new web technologies for bands, and general...

Hi. Just read through a couple of posts and I really like your approach. You pin point down aspects of life that bands should apply to their business. Your blog is about personal finance and entrepreneurial ship applied to a music career. Great work. bookmarked.
