EPK, How are you guys doing them?

[rohr28]

We are trying to get into some venues that are asking for an EPK. How are you guys setting yours up?

Ha ha ha! We don't ACTUALLY talk about the Music Biz here! We just BITCH about it! Ha ha ha!

 

Um, what I've seen done a lot is that a band will have their own dot com website and that's where they have their EPK. IMHO I think that looks the most professional. I have my own site but haven't put up any type of press kit on it yet, due to apathy and laziness, but it's on my to do list. And of course some folks use SonicBids because some events require it. SonicBids is in the process of changing their fee structure so they might be worth a glance.

ReverbNation offers an electronic press kit builder and host service.

 

I think it's a payed service though?

They just ask for an EPK to seperate the fools from the bands who know how to make such a chart.

We have a dot com, but do you need an actual epk page on your website?

I enjoy listening to the inevitable demise of my music career.

 

 

Glad to see a member of the forum with some perspective!!

I originally did ours as a PowerPoint presentation, since it could be printed as pages, or viewed on a PC.
