J. Peatman User Info... | So you're about to go on a tour without shows planned, and without a fucking band name??? Basically, it's going to be a road trip by a bunch of guys who hope to jam a couple times along the way. Without any merch to sell, or promotors to impress "yeah we need you to book us, but we don't have a name yet". Real smart... - Thu, 22 May 2008 6:12pm | ||
Sati User Info... | Perhaps you aren't aware of the number of bands who do that... check the music west roster, i'm sure there are more than a couple Actual music is just one small component of the "biz" - Thu, 22 May 2008 6:16pm | ||

Sati User Info... | Don't take it personally. Its a discussion board, and you didn't leave any details about who you were or what your situation is. We're all just throwing things out there, speculating. Your first post was VERY vague. Anyway, these sites also contain a database where you can search bands by genre, see where they've played and which promoters booked them, sometimes even full tours. Click on everything you see, look closely and you'll find a ton of information & contact info that can help you out. And its a business, to some just a business, so I wasn't making judgement calls on bands who take that approach. Its not my thing, but it is part of what goes on. - Sat, 24 May 2008 11:22am Edited: Sat, 24 May 2008 11:26am | ||

jordan f. User Info... | i'm guess this is the sam im thinking of... Dude, i'd suggest playing alot more shows here in victoria. Working on records, getting merch and building the all-around aspect of your band before touring. Build a name for your band then tour. Either way though, you know ya got my support. Hope it works out - Fri, 11 Jul 2008 6:05pm | ||
