What Your Band Needs To Put In Your Press Kit

A press kit is something that you will use to hand out to Venues/Booking agents/music industry pro’s. It shows them all of your work (songs) plus shows them all the work you’ve put into your band. Your press kit should contain these things:

Bio – A bio about your band telling people who you are, where you come from, what you’ve accomplished and why you are different from the rest.

Demo Cd – atleast 3 of your best songs.

Photos – You will need one 8 x 10 photo. Other photos in your kit are recommened.

Contact/Booking Info – Email and/or phone number where you can be reached. Your website info as well.

Venues You’ve Played In – The booking agent will be a lot more likely to book you if you have this spot filled up with prior shows.

Press – Press is anything that anybody media related has said about your band. Tv, radio, news papers and magazines would all fall into this category.

Things You’ve Accomplised – Anything your band has done that is going to make you stand out from the rest of the bands out there. Could be a big band you opened up for, or radio play on a big radio station.

Setlist – How long do you usually play for? How long can you play for? How many sets? What is your set usually like?

Discography – If your band has more than one album out.

Need a website for your band?

Band Website Theme is a great way to get your band a website up and running even if you have little or no programming experience.  This is an inexpensive way to get a fully functional professional website up and running in an instant rather than paying a programmer hundreds of dollars and waiting weeks or months for your website.  If you promote your site right and get some merch and songs available for download then your Band Website Theme will quickly pay for itself.
