adventuresofaudrey: Dear friends, December 17th Audrey will be performing our final concert as a band. We have genuinely had some of the best times of our lives over the past few years of being a part of the Michigan music scene which we cherish so much. There is no bitterness between our members in this… Sad to see these guys go, but excited to see them as part of Tiger! Tiger!

Dan Weger submitted this song, but didn’t use the ask us button, so if my answer looks weird, then that’s why.   First of all, “my take on the overall sound of one of our songs” is the same as asking me “what I think of this song”!  But I gave it a listen anyway, and will do my best to not have a vague answer! I’ll start with what I like.  The bluesy...

While I’m working on booking some cool local shows for December through February, I’d love to answer any more questions you may have about the business end of music.  Wanna know how something works?  Why do certain tours play certain markets?  How does ticketing work?  Etc.  Just ask! Band members, feel free to ask me to listen to a track from your band (1 song, links to streams on...

bullshit-t4ctics asked: Sorry I'm late on this...but booking/promotions is exactly what I'm trying to get into. I don't have any experience in this besides going to about 2-5 shows a month (most of them Fusion Shows) and being on a few street teams. I am coming from a completely different field so how do I get into booking/promotions? Thanks!

Anonymous asked: I am in a local Detroit Indie/Rock band. We have been playing shows for around a year now and gathering a fan base. My question is this, do "likes" on facebook actually matter to people higher up in the industry? I feel like although we are a good band and have a strong following we aren't taken as seriosly as some others due to us not having that many "Likes" on our page,...
