pasted below is a message I sent to members of the Band Over Boston Facebook group earlier. I know, I know – this is a blog! write something new! alas, it’s my brother’s graduation week and there’s much to be done. a new band feature and website news are coming soon.
MUSICIANS ON THE LIBRARY – take a few minutes and forward the information requested below to me, whenever you have time. no rush, but I’m trying to get band bios, etc. together sooner than later. danke!
—
[...] just email this information to submit@bandoverboston.com . you can also just link me to the information – I would have just copied from websites, but I’d prefer as up-to-date as possible – but if your Myspace or Facebook or whatever has the bio, photo, genres, etc., then link me to it and I’ll grab it myself:
- a MAIN CONTACT EMAIL,
- ONE OR TWO WEBSITES you’d like people to be linked to (main site and Facebook, etc), along with or including A PERMANENT SITE TO DOWNLOAD OR PURCHASE YOUR MUSIC FROM (this is important!), so there can be a link right by your music in the library to forward people to to get your music if they like it. (if you don’t have web hosting, something like www.bandcamp.com or even a web drop box),
- a BRIEF BIO (~5-8 sentences long),
- a BAND PHOTO,
- and GENRE – one umbrella genre (rock, electronica, hip hop, jazz), then two or three subs (post-modern, punk, noise-core, two-step, Pixies-esque, Beach, doo-wop, whatever you want!).
I couldn’t be more excited about the website. and this information will help us realize its fullest expression. it’ll be great.
thanks so much for the information, guys! hope you had a great weekend.
