Referring to the Taboo Show Promotional thread and the calender entry.
I don't know why the original posts don't provide further information.
When we promote shows like this...should we have a generic format to use?
I mean take a look at the calender entries and they're just a few words about bands I've heard of but know nothing about other than what I've heard from people which haven't really made me interested in the slightest. and this doesn't help new people get to the scene because its all word of mouth!
I think if we use a specified format for all show postings, both in the promotion forum and in the calender entries, it will not only ensure we provide ALL information, but it will also provide links for people to check out the bands and possibly recommend the show if people like certain bands, genres of music. whatever.
Suggested format as followed:
BAND NAME (link to myspace/website/whatever)
Genre: blah blah blah
Recommended if you like: blah blah blah
The Band is from: (so we know if they're local or not)
OTHER BAND NAMES (same format as above)
Time:
Date:
Location: (maybe provide exact address and a link to google maps to the venue?)
Cost:
Additional Info: maybe a member of 541musicscene.com's band is playing? past shows they played here? ect ect ect.
does that make sense? anyone else diggin' this? maybe I should post this in the site suggestion forum as well.
