Hey again. It's true that it's a lot of work, but you could probably get started with even just one additional member. As for getting gigs for your bands, I'd recommend starting small and being very persistent. I know in Minnesota there are a few youth community centers and cafes that host young bands every so often, so I'd look for places like that in your area. Also, college radio stations are usually receptive to having unknown bands play on air or even on campus. Another important thing: don't give up! Keep in touch!

hey Riotgrrl! I've done a bunch of work with bands if you need any advice. I've done mostly booking, so I could help you figure out good ways to approach people as an "agent." Let me know what you're thinking of doing!

Hi Riotgrrl!! Welcome to GenV.net!! :-) Great video! Thanks for sharing with us music from your local band! Is your venture idea, then, to help market for local bands and get them off the ground? What kind of help do you need with the action plan? Here is a link to resources that may help you get started:

Also, if you need any help, just let us know! We have a lot of venturers and staff eager to help. For starters, I would contact Liz in the New York office and Sterlin Saint, a YV Alumni. Also, try networking with members of the Arts and Culture interest group. They can help look over your action plan, brainstorm ideas, etc. Just click "Subscribe" on the left under "YV Group - Arts and Culture" to join. :-) Let me know if I can help with anything... ^_^
