One of my favorite bands asked me to move out to New York to manage them. They want me for the job alone on my enthusiasm for their music. They know I'm completely inexperienced but want me anyway. (Yay!)<br> <br> I can't for the life of me find a couple bookmarks I used to have. One was some website that detailed everything about managing a band. Then there was another one about starting a label. Finally, there was some Amazon book on managing a band that was highly recommended. I've been searching earnestly but coming up empty.<br> <br> If you know any of the sites/book I'm talking about, please fill me in.<br> <br> Otherwise, general advice is always welcome, or other sources you feel would be beneficial to my quest. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.60864 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:41:11 -0800 bandmanagement label management music Mach3avelli http://ask.metafilter.com/4959/Does%2Danyone%2Dhave%2Dany%2Dtips%2Dpointers%2Dwarnings%2Detc%2Dfor%2Dbooking%2Dand%2Dpromotion%2Dof%2Da%2Dlocal%2Dband I'm taking over the booking, promotion and scheduling portion of a local band. Though I've been around people who have done this type of work before, I've never done it myself. Does anyone have any tips, pointers, warnings, etc.? For example, when's the best time to call venues? What are some things not to say? This is a relatively unknown band in this area (they recently relocated from a place where they were popular), so are there any hype techniques I should know about? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.4959 Wed, 28 Jan 2004 12:37:55 -0800 bandmanagement Zosia Blue
