Is this an opportunity for a gratuitous plug for T.E.A. Productions?  The answer is "but of course."  One of the messages that we attempt to convey to prospective clients is that buying talent from a proven and established production company is about more than just buying talent.  Take the case of the Rock 'N Resort, the festival is going into its sixth year, with T.E.A. Productions producing for the second year.  When we met Margie and the owners of the festival, we not only presented them with the talent they could buy for their budget but also gave them a site inspection, a demographic study and a marketing analysis.  It was the combination of these reports that will inform and shape their event for the years to come.  

Prior to our initial meeting we did a study of the event and were able to put together a Long Term Marketing Plan that would ensure much higher visibility not only in their primary market, which we identified, but secondary and tertiary markets as well.  This plan has paid dividends for them already. Last year was the largest attendance in the five year history of the event and this year is jumping off the charts in early sales.

The bottom line: if you have an event for which you would like to see more growth or are thinking about starting a new event, contact us and take advantage of our 22 years of experience and 1000s of events we have helped produce.

The Flaming Lips (formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983) is an American rock band.

The band is known for their lush, multi-layered, psychedelic arrangements, spacey lyrics and bizarre song and album titles like "Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus With Needles" or "and Yeah, I Know It's a Drag... But Wastin' Pigs Is Still Radical." Their live performances are famous for their elaborate use of costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex lighting and a trademark pair of giant hands. 

The group recorded several albums and EPs on an indie label in the 1980s and early 1990s. After signing to Warner Brothers, they scored a hit in 1993 with "She Don't Use Jelly."  Although it has been their only hit single in the U.S., the band has maintained critical respect and, to a lesser extent, commercial viability through albums such as 1999's The Soft Bulletin, named NME Magazine's Album of the Year and 2002's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
