I
really like MusicFrisk.Com, may I link my site to yours?
But of course(you will
find the code on our home page)! We consider it the greatest form
of flattery! How else can you flatter someone so cheaply other than
linking MusicFrisk.Com to another site or on a message board? If you
have an interest in a specific artist or article please feel free
to push that link to people directly from your artist's web site,
street team newsletter, fan web sites or any other places you think
people would find it relevant. Our diversity is our strength, thank
you for becoming part of the extended MusicFrisk.Com family, just
remember to send us thoughtful gifts come holiday time, OK?
I'm
a publicist who would like to use your interview or show review in
a press kit, may I use it in my artists' press kit?
Yes. Please
e-mail
to tell us you are doing so, we are always flattered to know this
and need to make you aware if we find out that we must update the
article for some reason. Your usage agrees to use our logo and attached
MusicFrisk.Com contact info. Simply use the "Print this Page" link
on the upper right corner of the web site and photocopy to double
sided paper, most articles will fit on one or two pages if you do
this, using a format other than this is a voilation of the usage agreeement. Thank you for your interest.
I
really like the writing on MusicFrisk.Com and I know of publications
that would like to publish your writing on an ad hoc basis, will you
do that?
Yes. Please
have the editor of that publication contact
with a one-time or long-term proposal. Just don't tell them we intend
to take them over someday yet, OK? ;) Thanks.
I
really, really like MusicFrisk.Com, and I feel generous, can I send
you a million dollars?
After
some careful consideration, we think this would be an extremely
wise thing for you to do! We can assist you arranging a drop off
point or Fed Ex address for large unmarked bills or Paypal instructions.
It would be best if more than one of you did this as we could upgrade
the site and eventually take over media empires through leveraged
buyouts. Thank you for your support!
What
else can MusicFrisk.Com do for my band, artist, record label, PR firm
or management company besides premium quality interviews and show
reviews?
MusicFrisk.Com
has an ever growing network of people who are able to provide services
that many of our clients find desirable that require separate ticket
allotments and/or negotiable fees from our primary services, these
currently include:
* Effective advertsing campaigns for new albums, concert tours or
other products sharing our affluent and desirable visitor demographics
* Consulting services regarding indusry artist positioning and new
album campaigns
* Professional,
in-house video taping and soundboard mix recording of your artist's
performance - requires a non-distributable copy for MusicFrisk.Com
* High-end photography services
* If you have a unique need not described here, we can also tailor
services to meet those needs at reasonable rates. How can we serve
you?
How do I start a relationship with you and where do I send press kits?
Please contact
via e-mail and based
on the band and tour plans you will receive instructions on where
to send press kits.
How can I help you cover my artists better?
Here's a Top 10 list!!!
10) Please do not send advance CD's that are altered with chanting tribesman,
random noise or "property of" statements spoken in Arabic accents, these will not be listened to.
9) Please always include your business card in the press kit, nothing is worse than listening
to a great CD, wanting to interview them next time they come to town and having no clue who sent it to you!
8) If you sent a CD without the final artwork, please send one
with it eventually, some of the best questions I've ever asked have
come from CD inserts and I feel literally blind without the final CD inserts.
7) Fed Ex and Airborne are preferred methods of shipment. UPS tends
to be extremely unreliable at my present address. Please always send press kits no signature required,
please remember that you are sending a CD, not the original version
of the Declaration of Independence!
6) Things like laminated credentials (they are nice collectibles), VIP viewing areas
and unofficial after show activities are always genuinely appreciated.
5) Tickets sent in advance for shows are always appreciated,
especially when the venue is large or not close by as it reduces stress
and saves time when arriving at the venue. This is because guest list
ticket snafus, while often not your fault directly, all too often
happen. Ideally tickets should be sent and the VIP and Photo passes
should be left at the will call window, especially at a large venue
show. It solves the biggest uncertainty regarding attending the event.
4) A set list from the tour manager delivered before the show does
wonders for highlighting a band's newer songs, which is what you are
trying to push! So please have the tour manager always provide a set
list! And be sure to include his or her cell phone number!
3) Please always be sure the guest list is properly turned in as promised! Guest list omissions
and wasted time can lead to undesirable outcomes, including not being able to write about an artist
at all. Worse, it's a waste of your valuable time setting it up and is also quite embarrassing to everyone!
2) Interviews conducted right after sound check almost always sound better, artists
are in their groove and sometimes seeing a sound check changes the whole
direction of an interview. When I'm available early, this is desirable!
1) Please always tell the tour manager who MusicFrisk.Com is and why
we will be there, confirming our guest list credentials have been turned
in, this prevents embarrassing situations like "who are you?" and standing
outside during the show at a venue where cell phones don't work inside!
It also prevents #2,3,4 and 5 quite nicely. :)
Anything still not answered? Please e-mail us. Thanks again!
