advice for bands
do musicians read this? i mean other than you, jesse. if you do, here's the best thing you can do for your career as it relates to getting good press that isn't being a good band: have a hi-res photo of your band up on your band's page clearly labeled under a heading like press materials or press or something. if i'm writing hot tickets (like i am now) and there are two bands and one has a big-ass photo of themselves on their website that i can download and print, they're gonna get the big photo over the other band with no photo. so hi-res means 300 dpi, at least 6" x 9". i'm just saying.

Singled out. Thanks... I think.
One good way for bands to find out what critics are looking for is by listening to the one time a year (I think) where they all sit in a room together and talk into microphones. This and more helpful stuff can be found at:

I don't have anything down to a science, but this was helpful in getting started.
