Breaking Up With Your Band
Monday February 6, 2012
Band break-ups are a bit like divorces. They certainly can be every bit as acrimonious and complicated, especially if you've got a few releases under your belt and you've made a bit of cash. What happens if someone of the members want to continue playing together with the same name and material? What happens if one band member has invested more heavily into the groups' expenses than the others? What about your unreleased recordings?
These are just a few of the issues that can arise when band members decide to go their separate ways. Now, if you've got a band contract, many of the answers to the question will be clear. If you don't - and many bands don't - then you'll have to work out a fair solution for everyone before you can start looking for new musical friends. Here's what you need to know before you call it quits with your band.
Demo Deals
What does a record label do when they're kind of, sort of interested in you but not quite readt to commit? In addition to things like checking you out live, they may offer you a demo deal. A demo deal does not - I repeat, DOES NOT - mean that you have landed a full fledged record deal, but it does mean the record label wants to see what you're all about. They pony up for you to cut some tracks, and after that, maybe they sign you, maybe they don't. That's the short version, but demo deals can be more complicated by that, especially if another label suitor comes sniffing around. How does the deal go down?
What NOT to Say During a Music Business Job Interview
Wednesday February 1, 2012
In your pursuit of music business mastery, you've made it past the first hurdle - you've landed a job interview. Now, whatever will you say? Most music industry job interviewers are looking for the same sorts of things any hiring manager would seek out in a new employee - they're trying to get a feel for your experience, goals and whether or not you seem like a good fit for the company. Being confident - and being yourself - goes far in music job interviews, but it pays to avoid blurting out a few music biz no-nos during your Q&A session. What shouldn't you say when you're trying to land a music job? Keep these phrases at bay, and you'll be well on your way to interview glory.
