October is now
history, and we are staring the end of the year right in the face! This
time of year always flies by, and with the holidays coming up, will be one
of the busiest times for all of us! Here at MidwestBands.com, we hope to
provide great music and info about independent bands and musicians, so
that in the really hectic time, you’ll have a great diversion!
I want to thank
Transient Frank for being our Featured Band in October! The last day of
the month was their most hectic, as they did the Frank[enstein]
Psychedelic Circus at Beatnik’s in Marion, IN! When we get reports of how
the evening went, we’ll pass the info on to you! I hope that all of you
got a chance to learn about the band, and hear their music. In my
opinion, they are one of the best Jam bands in the State of Indiana! If
you didn’t check them out, make sure you do soon at
http://www.midwestbands.com/bandpage.php3?id=494!
This month’s featured
band is Switchback7, a band that has existed in Denver’s local scene for
over 8 years; just recently, though; they’ve solidified their lineup,
started a big publicity campaign, and released a full-length CD! All of
the struggles of the past few years are finally culminating in success for
them, and we salute them for their tenacity, their determination, and
their hard work! If you don’t know the band, get to know them by going to
http://www.midwestbands.com and reading the article on the home page!
If you want to hear their music, you can listen to selected clips from
their new CD, and you can also enter our monthly contest! You might win
your very own copy of their CD Scissor Fight!
I also want to take
the time to thank everyone who expressed their sympathy and concern for
the bands/artists that I mentioned in our last newsletter! The members of
NewCleaR included a note to everyone that you can read below; also,
everyone involved in the benefit for Brian Honeycutt that happened on
October 30th, and the members of the band Thrust passed along
their gratitude to share with you! Hopefully, we will have made a
difference in these people’s lives! Where you can, continue to provide
support and encouragement to these folks!
One more thing before
I go: We have been making some improvements, slowly but surely, to the
site! The biggest changes that we’ve accomplished so far involve the home
page, and our band listing. We have had a lot of complaints about our old
band listing not working, and being hard to navigate, so we decided to
revamp it! If you have a chance, go to
http://www.midwestbands.com/bandlistframe.htm and check it out!
Hopefully it will be much easier to use! We have also made changes to the
navigation on the home page, and tried to streamline the articles a bit.
If you have suggestions or comments, be sure to let us know! We
appreciate your input! More changes are coming, and we’ll be sure to let
you know as we improve things!
Have a great month! I
wish all of you much success, much peace, and much happiness! Keep on
keeping on, and for some of you, we’ll see you at the Midwest
Entertainment Industry Conference in Lexington, KY November 13th-15th!
Part One of Two Part Article
on “The Internet and the Music Industry by Nick Combs of Telemetric
This month, we are going to include Part One of a Two-Part article written
for us by Nick Combs, the drummer for Telemetric (http://www.midwestbands.com/bandpage.php3?id=728),
one of the bands here on MWB. They are a band that has benefited greatly
by using the power of the Internet, and I think that you’ll find some
really cool stuff in his article! Without further ado, here it is!
When I first talked to
Mark and Jen about writing an article for their newsletter, my initial
reaction was, "Why should I do it? I don't know jack about the Internet
and music."
Then I realized that
nobody else did either.
The music industry has
spent the last several years trying to figure out this giant magical
mystery that is The Great And All-Powerful Internet. The labels are trying
to figure out how to make money off of it, musicians are trying to figure
out how to get heard, and Joe Schmo just wants the latest Blink-182 single
without dropping a brand new pink and green bill on it. The internet is
the single most interesting and terrifying thing to ever occur to the
music industry. It is at once the grand heralding of the underdog's
arrival and the death knoll for the traditional marketing and concepts
that have supported the industry for the last 100 years. It's also a
revolutionary way to create music.
Whole studio sessions are
done over the internet. Producer A can now record an entire album with
Artist A without ever having met each other face to face, in real-time,
from the first note to the final mastering. It's saved people millions of
dollars on studio time because, let's face it, it's much easier and
cheaper to have somebody throw down a bass line in their home studio and
e-mail you the file than it is to take the time to rent studio time, find
a musician locally, lug all the gear in, set-up, record and do everything
all at once. It's also given the small guys (read: US) the flexibility and
opportunity to take the time to record a project that until recently had
been reserved for people who could afford to block out massive amounts of
studio time.
My band, Telemetric,
wrote our entire album online. We wrote our first three songs without even
meeting face to face. We all met online through a local website for music
and decided to start a band. Songwriting went faster then any other band
I've ever been a part of. Joe, our guitar player, could lay down an entire
song of instrumental tracks with a drum machine and then e-mail them over
to Steve, our singer, who could lay down his vocal tracks and mix them
down from there. This worked very well, because the song was already in
digital form, so we could all burn CD's of the latest songs and listen to
them to tweak them or practice our parts at home. As a result, the first
time we ever rehearsed together, we all came in knowing every note by
heart. This also gave us a great idea of what the finished product would
sound like, so when it came time to do our album, we already knew what
worked well for what song and what sounds we wanted. The only time we even
stepped inside a studio was the 6 hours to track the drums. Every thing
else we did ourselves, at home, and online.
The other great benefit
of doing things this way is we had promo material from day one. As soon as
a song was finished being written, we could throw it up on our website for
people to listen to. This kept fresh music in people's ears and, we think,
was an awesome way for the average person to listen to a song evolve.
Needless to say, the first demo's and MP3's sound very different from the
way the songs do now, but it's still great to go back and listen to the
first stuff we threw up on the internet and go, "People actually listened
to this crap? What the heck were we thinking....."
This brings what is
probably the single greatest thing about the internet and for you and me,
the indie artist. Promotion…
PART TWO
Promotion is where the
true power of the Internet lies. You probably already realize this since
you're on MidwestBands.com, but if you really want to be amazed, do a
Google search for "free music". Now, think: even if your music is only on
A QUARTER of the sites you find, how many people's ears will you reach?
Pretty mind blowing huh?
The Internet is becoming
THE way people find and listen to music. MP3's quite obviously aren't
going anywhere, so instead of running terrified of them (*waves to the
RIAA*), we need to love this technology and milk it for everything it's
worth. Is there any reason why your mp3 album samples can't be downloaded
by whoever wants them? No! I'm a firm believer in people giving away
samples of their music. After all, you DO want to be heard right? More and
more artists are releasing singles in mp3; one of the best examples of how
to keep people wanting more. Pick your best song; the one everybody comes
up to you after a show and says "I LOVE that song!!" Throw it up on your
website and just watch what happens.
If you've already done
this, Congratulations! You're ahead of thousands of people. The next step
is online promotion.
There are HUNDREDS of
sites and as many different ways to promo your music online! In fact,
there’s enough information to fill 900 more newsletters, so I'm not even
going to go into it, other then to say put your music anywhere and
everywhere you can. The whole point is to get more ears wrapped around
your songs, so what do you have to lose?
Finding artists is the
other fun side of Internet promotion! If you want a poster boy, look at
Jason Mraz. Regardless of whether or not you like his music, the man was
MADE online. The Internet is an incredible way to find music you'll never
hear on the radio, and the place to buy hard-to-find and sparsely
distributed albums. Because, c'mon! You WANNA be the music guy that other
people go to to find out who's going to be big next! You WANNA be the guy
whose entire CD case is filled with bands people have never heard of, but
you can sing every lyric to! C'mon, you KNOW you want to!
Anyway, I hope I've
gotten you a bit excited about the future of the internet and some of the
possibilities of it. I know I've barely even poked at the surface, but
spend a weekend doing your research and you'll be astounded, blown-away,
vaporized, and dissipated at what you discover about online music and how
you can promote your band.
By the way, go look up
Brian Vanderark and Dredg if you haven't done so already. Both albums will
change your life!
We’re very pleased to announce that Nick is going to be
taking on other “free-lance” writing tasks here at MidwestBands.com in the
future, including product and album reviews! He does great work, and we
are very pleased to feature his thoughts. Stay tuned!

radio station are being tracked, and each spin counts in their music
charts! The Mojo Gurus, a band that recently signed up with us, promoted
their song “Race With the Devil” to several Internet radio stations this
summer, and in a very short time pushed the song all the way to the top of
the Hot 100 and Rock charts! Internet radio is a new medium on the

striving to play the best music in the Midwest on our station, and as such

station, and we hope to make it an attractive place for you to submit your
music and to have it heard!! Also, if you haven’t done so, make sure you
PLEASE link the radio station on your sites! The more people that know
about it, the better it is for all of us! With 900 plus bands in our
listings, we can go a long way in promoting the station if all of you let
your fans know about this great resource! We are doing advertising now in
the new edition of the Indie Bible, and are looking to other opportunities
to let people know! We want people all over the world to hear YOUR
music! Help us to push MWB Radio to the top of the heap!
