Music Concerts

Virtually all individuals would say the 1st thing to do is to find a name for the band. Lets start from there s venue we??

The auditions are over, you have found your bass player and you all seem to get along really well. The excitement is in the air and you have had your 1st band bonding celebration.

Now its time to start your musical journey together.

Personally, I think that locating a band name is THE hardest decision that the band will ever have to make and therefore one of the the majority necessary decisions as well.

A performer name is a very important part of the artists identity. It is the 1st point of contact a punter has with the band.

Does this conversation sound familiar to you?

Them: “Hey, I saw this cool performer last night. You gotta check them out”

You: “Cool, what was the name of the band?”

Them: “Ummmmmm……. I don’t know”.

Arrrrrgh!!!! I get that all the time.

I cannot recall how many times individuals have raved about a band to me but cannot tell me the name when I ask them. Right there is the was ted chance for a band. It frustrates me no end.

This is a best example of how extremely important a band name is.

The performer name is the first thing that a punter will remember. They won’t address the performer by the names of the individuals in it when they talk to their friends (unless they are individual friends of yours) they will address the performer by its name.

The perfect way to find a performer name is through sheer persistance. Locating a performer name that is agreeable by any person isn’t an simple task.

Here are some performer name gathering suggestions:

1. Get every member to write down their personal list of potential band names

This can be the first task that the performer can do collectively. performance a date for the first performer meeting and among now and then do that task.

2. Make brainstorming band names the topic of your first ever band meeting

When everyone gets together put all of the lists out on the table and go through each one keeping to one side the names that’strike a chord’ (sorry about the pun) with all of you and getting rid of the rest.

As a group try brainstorming some ideas. This is a excellent way to start formulating what the performer is all about, what its image is etc, etc.

3. Create a competition among all your friends /family/anyone else via email

This is a exceptional way to start compiling the beginnings of your bands email list. List all of your friends /family/anyone else that you want to include and their email addresses and compile them all into one mailing group. Send out an email outlining the competition and be ready for the tips to come flooding in.

It’s necessary to have a cut off date for the competition (perhaps by your 1st band meeting) and to have a prize on provide. Of course the prize is totally up to you.

Make sure that when you do find a performer name that you announce it through your email group. You have just started email promotion of your band.

Whatever you do have fun with the process and do not let the quest to find a performer name override the other things that you have to do such as writing tunes and locating rehearsal space.

I guarantee that once you have agreed on a band name you’ll all collectively breathe a large sigh of relief. The hardest part of the journey has been achieved.
