WARPED TOUR! (maybe)

So I landed an awesome interview for Monday. What is it for you ask? Well I am interviewing to be the asst. merch manager for CBGB's booth at Warped Tour this summer. So super awesome and really the break I needed. I really hope I can get this for several reasons
a. Experience, duh
b. Contacts
c. It doesn't start until the end of June so I'd still have time to move into my new apartment in Brighton, MA
d. It pays
e. Do I need anymore? It's for the best venue there ever was.

I know what you're thinking, I do already have the summer position with Pretty Polly and I'm not one for screwing people that help me out. But this is the offer of a lifetime and cannot be passed up especially by someone who needs it as bad as I do. IF I do get the position then I will have to ask Howie is I can defer the start date until September and offer to help out as much as possible via email and phone over the who months on tour and offer to still work the 20 something days I'm still here. Hopefully it's good enough.

Lessons learned:
Make friends with people that work in Artist Development departments at record labels. Thank you Katie!

Music Fest and my Job yay

So according to my google weather it's supposed to rain both Friday and Saturday with Thunderstorms on Saturday... not good news for music fest. We're supposed to build the stage all day Friday and have it all day Saturday and load out starting at 8. Bad weather = no one comes, real bad weather= cancelling? So much time and effort wasted but hopefully every weather predicting application is wrong.

Oh, and no ferris wheel. Ah yes, the saving grace of music fest (in my eyes) is gone but at least there's still laser tag and beer?

Elections tonight for Music Fest. My brian is the new president and I'm happy I can leave knowing the club will be fine in his hands. I know he will not only put on great shows but will also actually give other people things to do and not make decisions by himself just because "he's the president" cause who would want to work under someone with zero leadership skills.

So I got my position at Pretty Polly Productions who was in Waltham but is now moving to Natick. I will be interning until August and then it will become a job. Hoping to get my bartending license and work nights and weekends at either The Paradise or The House of Blues in Boston. Ken (boyfriend) says he knows people at both and can get me an interview maybe.

Speaking of which, anyone looking for someone to live with in Boston? A one bedroom is too ridiculously expensive to even think about.

Not completely sure on what division in Pretty Polly I'll be working in (they do a lot of stuff) but I know I get to wear jeans in to work so that's okay. Expect weekly updates once I start working June 1st.

The concerts formal is coming up as well. May 7th. I hope Ken gets off work and can go because being dateless is sad and I haven't gotten to see him in a week and he works pretty much until then. Then graduation May 17th. Yay. Get to pack up everything and move. woot.

Will write more on Sunday following music fest.

MEIEA Conference, Music Fest, Jobs and Choruss

Okay so I'm very late on this, but I am okay with that. March 27th to 28th was the dates on the annual MEIEA International Conference which was held at Berklee College of Music this year. First off, I am pissed because I am from California and did not know that Berklee existed. If I did, I would have went there- there's an entire semester long class on TOURING! But I digress, the first days highlights:
- Keynote Address on the "new entertainment industry" by Harold Vogel, Top Analyst of the Entertainment Business, Distinguished Author and Media Investor at Vogel Capital Management
Uses the term "the long tail model multiple times- I have no idea what this means while he's speaking, but by the end of the conference it was something that was definitely beat into me. He's too business like for a guy who's addressing hundreds of students, but I guess that's what you look for in a keynote speaker.
- "The new entertainment Economy" Monetizing music in entertainment, including sports, film and video games with Peter Gotcher, Cofounder and Chairman of Topspin, Keyvan Peymani, COO of Network Music Group, Barry Sosnick, President of Earful.info and Asst. Professor and Harold Vogel, President of Vogel Capital Management
The first of many times that Trent Reznor is referenced for his genius business models that have been used as of late. First with Year Zero and with Ghost. Giving away music to make money is the new model. Touring and merch are the new ways to bring in revenue. Artists must establish a meaninful relationship with their fans in order to sell. Must stop producing crappy music.
"Touring: The Holy Grail of the Music Business" The future of the touring industry and its income potential with Marcie Allen Cardwell, President of MAC Presents, Jeff Dorenfeld, Associate Professor at Berklee, Wayne Sharp, Artist Buyer for Wilkins Management and Ryan Vangel, Talent Buyer for Live Nation New England
Marcie is a genious. She works a lot with sponsorships and gave great advice: when trying to get money for a small college festival you have to go local/ regional. National companies don't give a fuck. Secondly, remember that they don't really need anything from you but you gotta make it seem like it's worth their while. How to do that? Study their company and consumer base. Go after companies that want to market to the same demographic that you want at your show. Come up with great ideas for them about how they could use your show to their advantage and how they will profit from it. Genious. Simple, but genious!
Wayne seemed very knowledgable, he's definitely been in the industry long enough to be so. But seriously, I know you're a big shot but you don't have to be so mean. I went up to him after to try and talk to him, network a bit, schmooze and get his card, hopefully send him a resume later. Didn't happen, I asked him one qustion about the industry before he brushed me off and walked away.
Ryan was awesome, or I'm biased because he was cute. Given, he works for the devil that is reincarnated as Live Nation but I have a feeling I may end up begging them for a job in my future so I better not bad mouth too much. Ryan was young but very experienced none-the-less. He works buying acts for all 300+ live nation venues in the greater boston area. maybe new england area, I don't remember. I wish he could have talked more even if he did keep sidestepping all the ticketmaster/ livenation merger questions.
- "Marketing and Distribution in a Digital World" A discussion of the use of technology in guerilla marketing and distribution with Storm Gloor, Asst. Professor at U Colorado Denver, Jim Griffin, Warner Music Advisor and President of Choruss, Walter McDonough, General Counsel of the Future of Music Coalition and Ian Rogers, CEO of Topspin
Due to the ease of becoming a music pirate music must be given away for free as it has no real monetary value anymore, however if you give you music away you are letting more people hear it and are creating more fans who buy stuff and go to shows. Jim Griffin thinks we should put an extra mandatory fee that comes with internet charges so that labels can get paid even if music is being pirated. Will talk more about this later as I heard him speak again at my internship with Atlantic Records. The speech was pretty much the same both times but the second time I got to ask questions about Choruss.
"The Touring Industry" Student Panel
I am always hesitant about anything that involves a student panel because students are students and not teachers. If they had anything to teach me, we wouldn't call them students. So here in front of me were about 8 or 9 college students telling me things about the touring industry side of music that I had previously learned from reading books like Tour Smart : and Break the Band and Everything You Need to Know About the Music Business, oh and Billboard's new book on Touring and Promotion. These students got the chance to spend the night before networking, learning from, talking to and asking questions to some of the biggest names in the touring industry and learned .... nothing new? Oh, and one of the girls said "libary" while speaking. I almost walked up there and smacked her.
-Keynote Address: "After the Deluge: Music Biz 2009 and Beyond" with Danny Goldman, Manager of Nirvana, Founder of Artemis Records and President of Gold Village Entertainment
By this time I had heard the same artists named over and over who all had business models that fit the new environment and were doing well: Trent Reznor, Dispatch and some random ones like Arcade Fire. I get it, to be great you have to make good music, work hard, market yourself well and be creative, oh, and work hard. No disrespect here though, Danny was an amazing speaker to listen to, would love to hear more candid Nirvana/ Kurt Cobain stories.
-"Music in Gaming" Production, financial and promotional considerations for musicians interested in the video game business with Jeanine Cowen, Asst. VP for Curriculum at Berklee and Mallory Dodds- Zumbach, Strategic Marketing Manager of Warner- Chappell
What I learned is that label are using licensing for video games to make money, Paramore had a song in Madden and that there's an awesome new Guitar Hero in the works that can't be talked about
-"The Touring Industry" with Jeff Dorenfeld, Associate Professor at Berklee and Matt Walt, Author and Pretty Polly Productions

I walk into the room and we're a little late and all I hear is "Hofstra!" I had worked with Matt in the fall on the Verizon Wireless Tour featuring Raheem DeVaughn and was glad to see he remembered me. Learned a lot here, these men are geniouses and it sucks that this session was only an hour and there were only 25 people in the audience. Talked to Matt afterward and gave him my resume cause I'm looking for work. He wasn't on the program but it was nice to see him there. Buy this man's book-

Reality Check: A Common Sense Guide To Breaking Into The Music Industry

sorry had to do some sort of plug for him.

-"Getting a Job in the Music Industry" with Gene Perla, Professor
What I learned here: I am way more prepared for the music industry thanks to Hofstra Concerts than anyone is because of MEISA. They had not worked shows before, put on shows, done contracts, networked, one- offs, anything! At the end of the session I had three students come up to me and give me their business cards so that we could work together in the future sometime. I'm holding onto the cards cause you never know but I think it's funny that they don't have jobs and yet have business cards. To each his own I guess.

If you can't read it- it says "When you illegally download music... you're hurting a lot more people than you think.

So if you're any of these people, don't download music illegally
Thanks ASCAP




Music Fest is going to be awesome, but not because of the music. After much arguing and heartbreak the line up is as follows- Wild Deer, The One L Difference, Lions of Ido, Big D and the Kids Table, As Tall and Lions and (most likely, but not confirmed) The Cool Kids. BUT we will have a ferris wheel, laser tag, airbrush tattoos, food, beer, a side stage with student performers, a Holi Celebration (like a color war kinds), an inflatable rock wall, a movie on a giant inflatable screen, an antique car show, free giveaways and other great stuff. As long as I can get some press for it and leave a list of do's and don'ts for the kids in charge next year I'll be okay. And my friend from high school, up and comming comedian Kyle Smith (http://moderatelyamusing.com/) will be EMCing so that will at least be good. Hope he stays away from the Jewish jokes... well, not really.

Job search is positive. Working on a summer internship at Pretty Polly Productions in Waltham since they're not hiring until late August. Looks good but we'll see.

Choruss is something I just found out about. It's a company that would reach out to internet providers and get them to add a fee to everyones internet service a month ($8), would then collect this money and divide it up among labels and music publishers and stuff as compensation because they don't get paid when people pirate music on the internet. I have yet to hear of a good way to divide up the pool of money btw. Secondly, not everyone illegally downloads music, somepeople refuse to buy only digital mp3s because of the horrible sound quality and these people would be unfairly charged. The argument that was there have always been solutions like this that collect money for people in the music business that are getting screwed, but that just prompts the creation of even newer, more advanced ways to screw the industry. Is the music industry hurting so bad that it has come to this or are they really just that greedy. This program is the brain child of Jim Griffin who, as I mentioned above, was a speaker at the conference and also spoke to the interns at WMG (warner music group.) No lie, this man is an amazing and passionant speaker. But everytime he'd say something I didn't agree with, he'd go on tangents and off onto telling us really interesting or funny stories so I would get distracted and loose at the arguing points I had in my head somewhere. I'm convinced he did this on purpose. Talked at length about the "feminization" of the industry and how we need to become service based and not product based. We must care and remember things about our customers, share with them and let them know when they can get new music and get it to them fast and cheap. Choruss would make downloading singles easier, so why even bother to make albums? Why not just release a new single every couple of months instead of an album with 8 songs of crappy filler? And cover art? forget about it. I don't know too much about Choruss because they've done a good job keeping the facts away from the media, but from what I've heard I'm pretty sure I don't like it.

All for now, will try write more often. PS Will be moving up to Boston by June or so. Anyone know of cheap housing in the Brighton/ Allston area?

Preparing for Graduation and Summer 2009

So since the economy sucks and people are always looking for ways to save money, especially on tours, it seems like it is imperative to learn production in order to be a TM so to add to my ginormous collection of books on the music business (my favorite being "Tour Smart; and break the band" by Martin Atkins, seriously, the man's an interesting genius) I went to Borders and bought two books; "Audio Made Easy (or how to be a sound engineer without really trying)" and "the live sound manual" So the former book is smaller and definitely easier to understand with a large glossary in the back and the latter is thicker, more manual-esque and harder to read so I'll be reading the smaller one first. I figure once I understand the basics and have a basis of knowledge in which to start I can ask Ken, my boyfriend, and Jay, my roommate, to take me to gigs with them so I can learn sound and production.
Also, must work on my resume to hand in to Brandon at Atlantic for the Warped gig. I forgot that my regular resume wouldn't do and that I would have to completely reconfigure it by Wednesday. It's currently Monday night.
My mom wants me to figure out my job after graduation situation by April. So would I. I also have to figure out what I'm going with all my stuff, whether I'm staying in NY, going back to Cali or moving up to Boston. I like NY but would only want to live here if I was going to work somewhere grounded like a label or a venue. If I get a job doing shows/ artist development then I would totally take it... except the chances of that happening are even too small to think about. So then I think about moving back home, except I feel like I would die doing the same things I've been doing since high school and never leaving. I was home for break, I saw what it's become. Ken and I have briefly discussed a future in San Diego. Looks promising. Apparently there's a huge production company out there that Ken would like to work for.
If I can convince Pretty Polly (Howie and Matt) to hire me then I think I would definitely move up to Boston. Not only would I be near my boyfriend ( I loathe the distance) but I would be near a bunch of companies I could work for, would not have to move my stuff too far from NY and would at least know SOME people in the area. I hate having to make friends, too damn shy.
I will most likely begin reviewing the books I read about the music business to be sure to look for those as well.
Oh, Also, went to a reggae concert this friday. Rebelution at Blender Theatre and the Gramercy. Pretty sure they played the same song over and over but the bad before them, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad- amazing. Each song was different enough to not be boring, with new instuments added in each new song, and yet they managed to keep me in the same swaying and loving mood that good reggae seems to put me in. The show was weird. SO many high school kids there- felt like I was trapped in the proverbial ranch of high school for another night. They were mostly wasted, not that I didn't dabble with mind enhancing products but still, and they were grinding up against eachother and making out in corners like it was the prom- running, screaming, bobbing and weaving through the otherwise mostly adult crowd. Since when did reggae get popular with the BoysLikeGirls crowd? What bothered me the most were the easily 22 year old males rubbing up against the 14 year old girls, with no sense of shame taceable on their faces. I would know, there was a guy with a girl on each leg performing what could only be described as an orgy with clothes on right in front of me for about an hour. I managed to look past them to the band and awesome light show for a while but it was like a car crash and couldn't manage not to stare- but it's okay because everyone else was staring at them too.

Estelle, VersaEmerge, Warped Tour and Music Fest 09

On Monday the 23rd Estelle played at my school. It was a bit annoying at load-in since there were about 10 people there when there are probably 40 or so in the club, but whatever, my boyfriend was there to help out so I was in a pretty good mood until I found out where Jackie was- still doing contracts... Yes, ladies and gentlemen, contracts were not done until day of show. I think we're getting progressively worse on our timelyness of finishing contracts as the year drags on.
They went all out for the light set up which included numerous amounts of mac 300s, 250s and a crazy amount of LED light bars for the risers and by they I mean DAI the production company we primarily work with that my roommate Jay works for. So besides the more annoying things on Estelle's Rider- black towels, fresh cut flowers, vanilla scented candles, a red velvet cakes, various vitamins, Throatcoat tea, etc. preparing for the show was fine, except our Hospitality girls forgot to order extra dinner for the DAI crew and so when they got to pick out specific meals from Vincent's Clam Bar I thought it was pretty fucked up no one asked my boyfriend what he wanted considering he did more work that 95% of the people there, including some of DAI and was not getting paid for this show. Seriously, wtf. I bring this up to Jackie and she asks, "Oh, no one asked him what he wanted?" Only later do I find out that she took the orders. Fuck it. It wasn't mad and was fine with the student center sandwhich I got for him.
The show was not bad and thankfully the openers C-4 (who opened for Lupe Fiasco at our show last year) didn't refuse to get off stage like the year before and piss off the artist again. Also, this year I wasn't hospitality so I did get to just sit and enjoy the show once it started.
Estelle was amazing on stage. A great on-stage personality, she sounded great, pulled audience members on stage, joked around, danced, everything you would want to see her do at a show. The crowd somewhat sucked. Only half full, the venue was littered with half -dead bodies, swaying to the music somewhat. And then there were the crazy basketball girls that were dancing around the venue to every song and singing along. I loved it, that's why I like to do shows because it's so fun to watch the people who are really into it.
Load-out wasn't terrible but for some reason everyone started to slow down right before we were almost done, tagging on another hour or so to the process because it was cold, no one wanted to help load the truck and would rather sit around and talk, which is what they did. If I were Jackie I would have asked people to help more rather than sit around so that we could get out of there but alas, it's not my club and she runs things in a very overly relaxed way.
On Thursday we had our weekly executive board meeting for the club. 3 hours and nothing gets accomplished. People try to push their own agendas through for music fest because they want to book a band that they like, only problem is that with 12 people all with pretty diverse music tastes, no one can easily agree. Half the table wants someone named Google or something and everytime I asked who that was all anyone could really do was reapeat his name. (Later Brian told me they fell in the realm of gypsy- rock or gypsy punk-rock. I thought he was kidding, he wasn't) Anyway my rule is that if I have no idea who they are, neither would most of Hofstra's students or alumni because I zealously follow all charts in the general areas (top 40, rock, hip-hop/ r&b / singles / albums and digital downloads... and sometimes soundtracks and country) I read music literature like the rolling stone, ap, blender, billboard, r&r, etc. and pay attention to new and upcomming music on the radio, tv and internet. Basically, I know whats popular. On the other hand, two of our members said they did not know who Lily Allen was... even though her new album is all over the charts and she's been touring, doing interviews/ features and been in numerous tabloids all in the last month or so.
Then the idea came up for a Badfish (sublime cover band) and the wailers headliner. Good music, only problem is that if we shoot that low for our artist we will never gain the press coverage we need to entice companies and our own school into donating money and sponsoring the festival for next year. Unfortunately half of my eboard does not recognize this issue and are all for fucking themselves over next year. I mean, I'm graduating, I shouldn't care as much as I do, but with all the work I've put into this show over the last year I feel that it is necessary to see how big we can make it. A cover band cannot help us in any way. So three hours of bickering and yelling goes on, and then I am told that I shouldn't go (with three of my fellow members) to the MEISA conference in Boston this year because the $550 it will cost would be better suited going towards MusicFest because we need money. I can understand this logic, if it were not for the fact that last year our Prez and VP decided to jet off to SXSW without asking anyone else, spending over $4000 of our budget on the trip. Like seriously, wtf. And now I can't spend $550 on four people because THAT'S too much? Go fuck yourselves.
Oh and when we started talking about opening bands which I were told earlier that day we would ALL have to have a say in, that certain people had already told As Tall As Lions about it. First off, no one's getting paid to play the festival besides the headliners and Lights Resolve. Secondly, Brian, our small show manager said they were dicks to work with. For two weeks he asked for their guestlist for the show they played last semester and then they walk in dos and hand it to us with over 40 names scrawled on a crumpled piece of paper. They were allowed 10.
So, my point is, if they get to be asked to play the festival with no consent from anyone else, that my favorite local band, The Mercurial, get to play too.
Four of us ended up in my car for an additional two hours almost bitching about everything in the aforementioned rants.
The next day at work (Atlantic) there was a listening party for Gorilla Zoe's new album, complete with chicken wings and vodka. I didn't go, seeing as the other two interns went, and decided to catch up on some work. Ross , the asst. publicist who's pretty much the person I work with the most took the opportunity to mention to Anna and Brandon, who of the people very involved with the booking and coordinating of shows/ tours that I was interested in touring and have done shows before and want to go out on Warped Tour. Apparently, Brandon (who just got promoted, yay) is incharge of like everything that has to do with our bands on Warped and told me to send him my resume because VersaEmerge and 3oh!3 are both going out. So so so excited. I'd totally be willing to work for per diem just to get the experience. I can Asst TM, Merch, Crew, Hospitality, Run, pretty much do anything that needs to be done just to be on Warped. Everyone keeps telling me that Warped Tour sucks and I believe them that it's total hell, but I figure if I can make it there I can make it on any tour and will have more credibility to my name. :)

This is Who I am... This is Why You Should Care

My name is Jade, wait, that's a lie. I do however go by Jade because it's easier to pronounce than my birth name; Kajal. Go ahead, try pronounce that. Okay, point proven and now I hope you'll believe everything else I say. I am a senior at Hofstra University, an overly priced private school on Long Island that's about 20 minutes from the city... according to their brochure, but of course that's only without traffic and when is there ever not traffic in New York. Don't worry though, I am not from Long Island, I am not a "long island girl" I do not think leggings count as pants, I do not own a pair of Uggs and my sunglasses do not take up half of my face. I am from Danville, California, a small suburb in the East Bay of San Fransisco. A lot of rich people there too but they're not old money so it's not nearly as bad living amongst them. Before that Cerritos near LA and Hawai'i before that. And yes, that apostrophe is supposed to be there, it's how natives spell it.
I am 20. I will be 21 in April but never fear, my ID makes me 26. I love reading, I love coffee, I love to party, I love movies, I love animals, I love Lucy but most of all I love Music. In elementary school I was a nerd, in middle school I was a wannabe, in high school I was a metal/ druggie kid wannabe that everyone else thought was confident, in college I am awesome. Point is I have changed a lot. My favorite colors, what I read, wore, did... it all changed with my persona, everything changed except for music. I listen to everything except faith music ( you've seen the infomercials) and I always have. Techno, metal, indie, pop, rap, jazz, classical, new age. I own, listen and like everything. So obviously I want to work in the music industry. No wait, I want to tour. Here's my plan. Contacts>Merch Girl/Runner/Hospitality/Catering/Crew > Contacts > Assistant Tour Manager > Contacts > Tour Manager. It's an industry of how good you are and who you know. Though I don't know that many people yet, the ones I do know have helped me a lot and luckily, I am smart and creative. Anyway, more about me....
I currently intern at Atlantic records in the city and all I know now is that I do not want to work in an office ever. I do concerts at my school. I am in fact the Vice President of the club that brings acts to our school (past performers have included: Gym Class Heroes, All American Rejects, Talib Kweli, Rx Bandits, The Roots, Head Automatica, Jason Mraz, Boys Like Girls, Cute is What We Aim For, Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Greg Giraldo, Coheed and Cambria, Bayside, Pablo Francisco, Ima Robot, Damone, Under the Influence of Giants, The Pack... and those are just the bigger names) We even have Estelle coming here to Hofstra on Feb. 23rd. But I digress. Through working these shows I have realised that I love this line of work. Unfortunately I cannot do FOH or lights (for lack of knowledge, skill and discipline) and my lifting skills ( I'm a 120lb oriental girl) make me a horrible roadie. This does not deter me.
Researching sites and blogs has lead me to the conclusion that there are a lot of people that are in the music/ touring industry and there are also a lot of people trying to break into it. This is a blog for all those people who weren't born into it, who did not realise that music was their calling until it was later in life but who are still trying to land those oh so coveted gigs.
So I do shows at my school (which have led to some great contacts), I have a metal show every other Monday night (see below for play list), I intern at Atlantic Records 3 days a week and am currently in the position of whoring my self out to any music outlet that will have me. This is my story. I am the Little Girl in the Music Industry, hoping to make it big and inspire others to keep working hard if music is where they want to be. Enjoy
PS- If anyone reads this that would like to help me on my quest in case you or someone you know is already established in the industry, please contact me. Thanks :)
