Caroline Collective

Caroline Collective member Paynter Media put together a great video detailing the upcoming Bandcampus Booking Party event scheduled for Sunday, January 31, from 2pm to 4pm.

One of the best things you can do for yourself as a band is to start touring as early as possible. As Mike King puts it on Artist House Musics blog, Tour Early and Tour Often. He also mentions that in order to do this effectively, be sure that your live show is awesome. And again he is correct. But too many bands get caught up on the latter advice without realizing that the former is really what creates that engaging performance. Playing too many times to the same people burns yourself out from gauging the crowds reaction and puts the audience too close to the music to objectively evaluate your live shows.

Thats why on January 31st well be holding a Bandcampus: BOOKING PARTY for Houston bands. Well provide the tables, chairs and the internet. Well also be giving you a venue list for Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and Victoria/Corpus Christi as well as a mad-libs style email contact form and a mad-libs style phone contact form and review the process of contacting (and following up with) a venue to book your band.

We held a similar Booking Party in July and the results were exciting: One band, Liquid Kitchen, was able to book two shows within 72 hours of Bandcampus: BOOKING PARTY. Another band, Insert Name Here, booked one show for themselves that week and continue to use the scripts to book themselves shows.

Come to Bandcampus: BOOKING PARTY and make it easier for your band to start finding new audiences to play in front of.
