local artists, infiltrate a venue and create a show to earn money on the artists who MAKE
THE SHOW. My advice to the artists--WORK TOGETHER and directly with the venue owner
and create your own show. When you do, share the door EQUALLY and PUT YOUR MONEY
where your mouth is when you say you SUPPORT THE LOCAL SCENE.
As far as socially, the SCENE is a WORLDWIDE SCENE--just as music is a worldwide
language. There are MANY ARTISTS on NEUE REGEL who are getting fans and other stations
overseas to listen and download because they realize you are appealing to a wider
audience. FOR THOSE OF YOU that have figured out that the internet is a worldwide
communication tool. LOL. If a promoter/booker ever comes to you and says that the first
7-10 through the door goes to them…IMMEDIATELY TURN DOWN THE SHOW. That is $70$100 that you can use toward promotion that will garner you more TRUE fans that just doing
a show--as well as put towards merch and
swag. Neue Regel Radio either gives a
guaranteed contract to the artist without
selling a ticket or an equal share of 100%
of the door between ALL the artists.
Like I said before, don't just say you
support it! Actions SPEAK! One last thing
for this month. IT doesn’t matter who you
are--a venue, an artist, a promoter, and
booking agent and even a DJ--It is not YOUR
SCENE. What divides us is self-glorification
on the backs and hard work of others. Give
the credit where it is due…The Artist!
