I love Puddle of Mudd! But, I am a bit suprised that you let your 13 year old listen to that kind of music...It's pretty racy to say the least.\n\nIf they do come over, just be normal.

Many ways. Here one. IF, you confidant, approach a Bar manager of maybe a smaller place. You may have to play just for Tips or may be able to get him to pay you a few bucks, say around $50 per band member for the night. As you prove yourself you gain popularity and maybe some Followers!!!! Then you may be able to approach larger Bars/Clubs.\nThen, you should be able to hit the larger Festivals as your recognition will proceed you! \nThis NOT the only way, but, I have friends that did it this way. They not Big Time, but, still play local places and have cut a few Cd's they sell themselves to their "Loyal" Fans. ;-)

if he's like 15-18 you just have no hope, move on for the time being, if he is older he's just dumb like all drummers, just get used to it

yes--take your demos every where!!!!--give them to dj s at clubs--drop them off at local radio stations--and two weeks later drop them off again--include photos of yourself or your band--play in public alot--even if its for free--give out copies of your demos for free every time you play out!!--contact your local news paper and give the entertainment editor copies of your demos--maybe he will do an article on you--oh yeah--hit the radio stations again--there are independent record labels all over the internet--send them copies--then 2 weeks later send them again--repeat as nescessary--go play on the street corners if you have to--and don,t forget--hand out those free demos to everyone you meet!!!--don,t get discouraged--it takes a while--won,t happen over night--you will get more rejections than you will get people accepting your stuff--but keep it up !!!!!

Pick up a My Chemical Romance CD, put down your J-14 magazine and listen to them you imbecile!  The guy's almost 30, he's not gonna date a mere 13 year old!

not at all... you can make a lot of money as a songwriter and it helps you express yourself.  as far as what he says, whatever... ignore him.

You have to promote your music. If you're playing gigs put all the money you can on a great album to sell at your shows. Form a relationship with your local radio stations. Some will play indie music. Get in touch with music publishers. Do anything you can to get heard. The major labels won't accept unsolicited material so don't waste your time. You can also try taxi.com. They're a huge company the big boys go to when they want fresh faces and material. Don't give up. Good luck.

no you are not to younge. jojo was what 13. but you do need to be on your toes and aware of what and who you are and what you want to do. the industry is crazy and can be deviouse and you do need to find a good agent and be open to critisism. and i suppose music college couldnt hurt.

Now is the time to deny your child rap "music."  If you encourage this preference he has for this genre he will not relish "kiddy-friendly" rap for his entire life.  This type of music is not wholesome - it does the opposite of encouraging good citizenship and morality.\n\nIntroduce him to Mozart.

Well, maybe it's just my kid, but I think sometimes we underestimate children's musical tastes. My kid is 4 and though she jams out to the Wiggles with the best of them, her favorite music is my first husband's drum-n-bass collection (he's a DnB deejay). She also cannot get enough of my Bad Religion and knows most of the lyrics to American Jesus. Maybe you could test out some adult music with enough rhythm and spunk to keep her interested... you might be surprised!\n\nThis is also advantageous because by exposing her to quality music from an early age, she develops an ear for music and is less likely to listen to emo later on. ;-)\n\nRecommended bands (low on curse words; high on musical enjoyability and fun):\n\nRolling Stones\nPrimus\nThe Smiths\nSonic Youth\nCrystal Method\nRed Hot Chili Peppers\n\nThumbs down? Did I anger some emo kids? lol

Not trying to be crappy or anything but, have you ever done any gigs? Can you sing? And most importantly(although it's a bunch of garbage because it knocks out the people with real talent)do you have the looks to get girls into a sex crazed frenzy? If you answered no to the last question then it's going to be almost impossible. Let's look at the 80s. Quiet Riot, REO Speedwagon, and other such bands all had folks that were pretty homely looking. But it didn't matter then because they had talent and they rocked. It's not like that today though. I'm not trying to bring you down or any thing but I have been in the music business as a writer for about 4 years now and average looking people don't appeal to record lables any more. But if you have a dream and the determination I say throw everything you got at them. Find your gimmick and work it. Pester them until their heads explode. If they see you're determined enough to chase a one in a million dream they may take you seriously. Again, I'm not trying to bring you down. Just telling you like it is. Good luck.

THE ANSWER IS AT THE BOTTOM! \n\nI'd have to say you CAN'T market your CD on a big scale and sell 1000 limited editions before June starting this late with no plan unless you get very creative or very lucky VERY FAST. You'll have to sell more than 37 copies every day from NOW until June 1st. Good luck! \n\nIf that doesn't dampen yr enthusiasm, then try this! If you wanna sell a thousand copies of yr album, you'll hafta do sumthin really stupid, like plug yr amps in the county courthouse, or the Military Monument (every town has at least one!) and start wailing, get yrself arrested then you'll be all over the news. \n\nJust explain that it was a promotional stunt. You'll hafta pay a fine, but that'll be easy, because now every kid in town will buy yr CD and yr on yr way to fame & fortune! Remember, fame & fortune are not for the weak! Do you have what it takes? \n\nKeep us posted! Maybe we can take up a fund for your bail!
