Music marketing reminder...


I don't know if you need this reminder or not - but I was reading a transcript in the G&M tonight, from an on-line discussion they had earlier today, and I re-realized it !

To learn about marketing your music and yourself as an artist, read all about marketing in general! Learn about testing and the importance of copy and placement. It is the principles in general you need to know, before you can get product specific.

Got lungs?


We sure do! And now we're going to sing even louder because Rave On Studio has just partnered with the BC Lung Association and this is just the beginning!

After five years, our Very Vancouver Christmas music project for charity has finally broken some ground and at last our contributing artists will get even more exposure - to every donor and at every sponsored event where music is welcome!

Stay tuned for details - but think BIG and breathe easy!

And congratulations Ravers...this is big.

The Black Book


One of our favorite people is getting ready to release his brand new metal drumming DVD - " The Black Book". I hope you'll check it out - I would have to say that watching Randy Black drum is up there on my favorite things to do list - because it amazes me not only from an artistic viewpoint, but as you have heard me say before, from an athletic stance as well!

The dude rocks hard - and his DVD is jammed full of interesting, well thought out and perfectly executed lessons (not to mention some old band pictures with Sparky which set me laughing every time - 80's hair - oh man!).

Anyway, I owe Randy a review and I'll post it up on NxEW.ca as soon as I've finished watching both disks.

Put this one of your Christmas list kids -

Check out more on Randy Black here or at Primal Fear !
