Welcome to London Rock Shows, a new enterprise that puts our musicians first and not the demands of venues or promoters.
Yeah, yeah, heard it all before we hear you say. BUT … we are a group of musicians, and live music lovers ourselves, so the ethos behind the new business is on a totally different achievement level before we even start our shows.
Ethos
Well, for starters we are a company that works with our venues and partners to actually promote the events that we organise. We use all social media platforms as well as a ‘get out there and promote’ approach to all our shows. We expect our bands to do the same as us. Social media and fan bases are powerful tools, as is word of mouth, so you will be expected to get your elbows stuck right in!
Just as important for London Rock Shows is the importance of matching bands like with like. We’ve all experienced playing on bills that include different genres to the music we play. Well, we are aiming to promote all our shows with rock-based acts. We appreciate that there are genres within genres, so careful consideration will be given to our shows in terms of what category of rock you are.
And finally, that taboo of our industry, payment. All bands in our shows will be paid an appearance fee. The amount of fee will be based upon three criteria, the length you play, where you play on the bill of the show and how tickets sales are for the event .
