How to Write a Band Bio that Stands Out


"A well-done bio is essential. Think of it as a window into your world - your bio is a direct introduction of you to writers, booking agents, and industry people that you want to pay attention to your music so you can get the opportunities you've been dreaming of.  Your bio may be the first thing they about you. If it's sloppy, poorly written and doesn't convey anything, you've already made a bad first impression.


"Don't be intimidated if writing isn't your strong suit. A bio usually follows a format that's easy to follow."

Today at the Dog House

 
Dear Dog House family,
 
First, we'd like to invite you all to our Spring DHM Teen Band Showcase at the Fox Theatre, featuring Things That Go Boom, the Grenettes, the Pandamen, and Critical Mass, as well as our returning adult band, Steve & the Dirty Little Spoons. The show will run from noon until everyone is done - please say hi if you stop by! Most of the bands played a warmup show today at the Boulder Outlook, so tomorrow's show should be even better!

Next, we've had many inquiries about doing another session of our Adult Fantasy Rock Camp, so we'd like to invite all of you parents and other grownups to contact us if you're interested. As a reminder, this camp meets once a week on a weeknight, and is a great way to brush up on your technique while jamming with other adult musicians.

It's been a busy month for all of us at Dog House - last weekend we provided sound and backline for the UMX People's Fair auditions, and got to hear about 90 bands in two days. We also had the Legendary Beep Beeps in Studio A (during the Great Spring Blizzard of '09) and Boulder-based Pachedu with Zivanai Masango in the studio as well.

Finally, we'd like to remind you that you can also connect with DHM by following our new Twitter feed!

 Thanks            Peace            Gary
