Anyone know any music industry types I can beg for a job?
Hello
Ive been working as promoter (Monkey Suit www.myspace.com/monkeysuitmusic)for the last year and a bit and really want to work in the industry. Despite some the twats I've met. I really love my music and regularly go to gigs/festivals etc. Don't suppose anyone he has any contacts? Long shot I know but thought I would ask anyway. Ideally Eat your own ears or somewhere like that.

Running out of press ideas

Actually who wants to manage my new band - we've got an ace singer.

Sirius Black?
anyone know any music types....
What sort of working are you doing? Are you working for a label, promotions etc ? when you mean 'promises, promises' I take that they keep stallin on giving you a wage??
...
exactly
you might wanna speak to
channelfly.
Do you work for them?
?
no.
Interning seems to be the way to go for 'industry' stuff.
I never did it, I was kind of self-taught at everything through doing the label. I just emailed everyone I'd had contact with over the years as publicist for Brainlove, and some people needed extra help and said yes.
Dont bother
Get a good job doing something else, get paid well and get loads of holiday then be able to afford to go to all the gigs and more that you could ever want whilst not having to think about work whilst you are there.
Biggest mistake I made - working in a record shop. Draw lines between your hobbies and work.
Which is your favourite ISRC number so far?
you have one?
i find them a bit dull.
bf
I do, but he currently hates me for slagging off an artist he's been working with, on here... (shamefaced icon), which he found via the medium of vanity googling
i'll employ you
as my job-finding monkey.
you can have a tenner once you've got me a job.
how about I'll give you a tenner...
if you get me an industry job?? Ideally promotions since that's what I do for myself part time at the mo.
do you think this is how Jay-Z got started?
