Recording a Demo
Ah, the demo. Simultaneously every new band’s calling card and nemesis, the first thing every band wants to do (and rightfully so) is to record a demo. As part of a press kit (previously discussed here) the demo should be the crowning jewel of your promotional package. The one trap that many bands fall into […]

Try to contain your excitement but here are this week’s helpful links. I try not to have any kind of conscious theme when putting these together but it’s pretty obvious to see where my head has been the last week or so.

Well, the first annual Nashua Folk Festival is in the books and we’re going to post a review and pictures soon. To make a long story short the day was a blast. To make a short story long, well, you’ll have to wait for the full review.
In the meantime, I wanted to share some links […]
IMNE Site Status
So things are slowly moving along. The basic functionality of the site is now in place. The blogs are working, the forums are set up, everything is going swimmingly. The front-end design is not completely done. I’ve found a couple of really great themes to start working from but there’s still a ways to go […]
