[QUOTE=FatherKeeL]if your are unexpirienced, id do a demo first, just to learn about recording....

if youve got the know-how, time and money for an ep, go ahead though.

just id start small if i where you...[/QUOTE]

if you do a good job on the demo, you could always put the songs on your ep, although thats not a good idea if you've sold your fans the demo.

Is there a hold-up Kocaine?[/QUOTE]

he's a busy man, and its christmas. well volunteered to make the next issue ;)

... its easyer to answer questions, than to volunteer information. i think i should know enough to say something useful... but as is, i guess ill just wait till someone askes the right questions.

but ive ben reeding your articals and tips kocain... cant wait for more :-)

Volunteer (I can't spell it either) information.... hmmmm.

Veggie's piece of random advice #1. When writing a song, it has to be catchy. My friend's band wrote a song, it was ok, but it was majorly let down in one area. No one could remember the song (apart from the band) an hour later. Not to good if you're looking to make it big, is it?

Ok guys sorry bout the hold up, I'm not too sure about the graphics article, basicly at the moment it's looking to be me talking about how simple is better e.t.c. use unique free fonts, use something memorable, corporate identity e.t.c
I'm thinking of running something else off instead?
But I will also be giving you my epic Music Industry Assignment for the fun of it, it covers jobs in the music industry, some basic facts like the role of publishers compared to record labels, how much will a manager charge, the pro's and cons of DIY publishing e.t.c.
I had fun writing it.

I'm up to page 5 which is, "How do publishers maximise royalties collected?" So I probably have another 5 pages or so for the last merit task and then the 2 distinction tasks.

How everyone should go to moaner for their demos?

Sounds About Right...
 

Hey, this is quite the cunning thread.

I'm in an unsigned band, and we've been playing around for a while now, and the first few issues cover just about everything we've done. It's nice to see we're probably on the right track!

The part about publicity is especially pertinent, as the singer is always coming up with new ways of making ourselves heard!!

aww, leave the n00bs alone, kkk needs some kicks in his life

[QUOTE=KKKKKocaine]Band 101-
DO NOT - Play during the breaks between songs, this is when the vocalist needs to push the band on people, it's horrible to be at a gig when this happens, " Hey, so we're still <drum fill> thanks for all coming tonight and <guitar solo from random song> hope to see you there as well, our new <bass drum tests> of october, thank you, the next song <bass> enjoy yourselves"
Well next issue, I'll be going into more gig tips, D.I.Y recording e.t.c.[/QUOTE]
