All performers know
there's nothing worse than walking onto stage and
looking out into an empty venue. The mood of your
band is dismal- you all worked so hard to prepare
for this show and it seems like none of your fans
even care. Starting a band wasn't as simple as you
thought. You try to tell yourself that every band
goes through this, but deep down you sense that
your band is falling apart. You have been feeling
increasingly frustrated and powerless, but haven't
felt it this strongly until now.
You want to get started with the show, but your
lead guitarist is already drunk and busy hitting on
girls at the pool table. The sound-guy is outside
smoking a cigarette. He only spent 5 minutes on
your sound check, and it didn't look like he was
paying much attention. "What are we missing
that other bands have"? During your set, your
bass player makes some embarrassing mistakes. You
think to yourself, "if only they all wanted
success as bad as I do".
You return home after the gig defeated. Just as you
finish unloading your equipment, you remember that
you left your $200 microphone at the venue. So much
for the life of the rockstar.
We know you WANT to start a successful band.
The problem is, you DON'T KNOW
HOW.
Recently we were out at a local nightclub enjoying
the atmosphere, eating a thick crust pizza and
enjoying a cold beer. We often go to this venue to
check out the local rock bands and see who we might
like to book with our own band. There were two
groups playing that night, and we noticed a very
peculiar thing. Have you ever seen a
performance when the moment the band walks on
stage, you feel instantaneously connected to
them?
It's as if the entire room fades away and you can
focus on nothing else but the performance at hand?
This feeling is no mistake. This is the feeling
that a SUCCESSFUL band can elicit from their
audiences. The next band that played was actually
headlining that night, and while we thought that
their songwriting and sound quality was better,
it didn't matter. The
entire room was drawn to the first band.
Now, what if we told you that we know
exactly what it is that this band did to
create this kind of response.
The question would be: How do you do
it?
If you had asked us this question 10 years ago, we
would have told you it was impossible- bands that
were successful were lucky, rich, good looking,
well-connected in the music industry or possessed
some other asset that we didn't have. However, now
we can tell you without a doubt that there is a
science to success when it comes to bands, and we
have spent a considerable amount of our own time
and money learning this simple recipe for success.
Unfortunately, most bands will never have
this information.
There are over 3 million musicians
listed on MySpace and countless more on websites
like garageband.com, mp3.com and others. The
internet has allowed musicians to expose themselves
to a worldwide audience. If this is the case, then
why do so few musicians ever become successful?
Most
bands are doomed for failure before they write
their first song.
We Know You're
Feeling Frustrated.
We've already figured out how to make your new band
successful.
We have already done the research,
put in the years, and made the mistakes that bands
make along the way. Our book, Simple
Band Success is packed full of vital
information that can either make or break your
band.
We the authors of this book have spent 8 years at
university studying organizational communications
with a concentration in marketing. We have taken
master-classes in research, group dynamics,
leadership, and instructional design. Collectively,
we have over 30 years of musical experience
performing solo and in groups of various musical
genres. We have recorded our music- from self
produced 2-track demo's to ten-thousand-dollar
professional studio albums. We have toured the
Northeast and we know what you are up against!
But enough about us! We know that you want your
band to be successful. Every aspiring musician
does. But what do most people do about it?
Nothing
You Must Learn To Consistently
Hit A 'Bulls-Eye' With Your
Band
Most people sit back and take whatever
they can get—which is usually nothing. Sure, once
in a while your band will have a little luck and
book a big show. Maybe one of your songs will get
picked up by a local radio station But this usually
doesn't happen. And even if it does happen, there’s
no garuntee that your band will be able to
consistently book that show, give that
dynamite performance, write that great song, or
pack that venue.
And just about every musician I've ever talked to
would like to have more skills and success when it
comes to performing. But here's the interesting
part: Most people
won't go out and learn how to be successful as a
band. They just won't do it.
They'll just let the days, weeks and months slip by
without finding any improvement. At some point,
they will look back and wonder what they did with
their time. "I wish I had tried harder". "If only I
had gotten something to help me along the way".
Most musicians have been brainwashed by popular
culture to think that "Its not possible to ‘make
it’ as a musician".
We're here to tell you that this myth is
B.S.!
You weren't born knowing other skills like how to
walk, how to speak English, or how to drive a car.
These are basic skills that you LEARNED when you
needed them. Success with your band is just another
skill, and any person can learn it if they want to.
One day a few years ago, we got sick and tired of
hitting dead ends with our band at every turn. We
were putting in the hard work but getting nowhere.
We couldn't stand the idea that we were going to
spend the rest of our lives not knowing how all of
our favorite bands were so successful.
We went on a personal mission to find any
information we could about how to make a band work.
We spent years applying our previous studies to
this new challenge and learning by trial and error.
Have you ever gone to online forums to ask other
musicians advice on what to do to make your band
successful? You might get some golden gems such as
“don’t sell out”, or my personal favorite, “it’s
all about the music”.
Do yourself a favor and don't take advice from
people who aren't qualified to give it.
The
sad truth is that most bands give up and never have
the kind of success that they want, or they simply
fall apart because they lack the organizational
skills required to be successful. They give up and
settle for a level of success that isn't what they
REALLY want—or worse—they settle for no success at
all!
It doesn’t have
to be this hard.
That’s where we come in. Our book, Simple
Band Success is packed full of vital
information that will have a direct result on the
success of your band. We didn't make this stuff up-
this book simply explains "the way it is".
DISCLAIMER: If there is one thing that we’ve
learned about helping people- the only people who
can be helped are those who are willing to change.
That is why we are putting this book out to a large
audience. Please do not read on if you do not want
results. If you are not willing to try what we
suggest to improve your band, please leave this
page now and go back to your medeocrity.
simple band success is a comprehensive
resource. At 65 pages, it can be read in
one or two sittings, but you will also use it as a
reference guide later to keep your band on the
right track.

just ONE more gig or write ONE more song, what
would that be worth to you?
Now ask yourself: What if there's even a
possibility that this book can actually
teach you how to be successful with your band- to
have band mates who are talented and positive,
successfully write music, promote your shows and
build a fan-base?
How much would that be worth to you? Five hundred
dollars? A thousand dollars?
Just the POSSIBILITY of having this kind of success
with your band would be worth the investment. We
wish that we would have been able to buy this
knowledge for less than $30 when we started. Hell,
we've spent more on a microphone stand.
We know you'll be glad you made the investment in
yourself and in your band.
