Where to even begin with this one? You're musicians, not businessmen, right? But music is a business, and if you're going to get anywhere, you'll have to learn to navigate it. When do you need a manager? An accountant? A lawyer? How do you get signed? Or does anybody even want to get signed anymore?
Flyers? Check. MySpace bulletins? Check. But how do you really ensure people know about your shows? How do you get your CD reviewed? How do you become a part of the blog buzz? What can a publicist do for you? Find out the answers to these and other questions and get yourself heard.
How, exactly, do you go about getting your band on the road? How far in advance should you try to book the dates? How do you work out routing? What kind of a guarantee can you expect? When is it time to hire a booking agent? All this and more will be answered.
What's the role of a producer? A mixer? What is mastering? With all the software programs out there, why do you need a studio? Bring your questions, and be prepared to be enlightened.
