Media – Print : Beat Magazine's Band Bible - Out Sept 16th
kris1st writes"Beat Magazine's Band Bible
In shooting for the stars, we easily forget about the cloud-filled skies of Melbourne's booming music scene. A scene abundant with venues, independent and major record labels, gig promoters, tour promoters, distribution services and A&R types. Your own town is the first town you should be trying to conquer. Your own state is the first state where you can build a name for yourself.
Having been at the forefront of the Melbourne music scene for over twenty years, we at Beat Magazine recognise the hardship, the trials, the tribulations associated with walking the path of lifting one's band's profile. So we’ve decided to try and help out.
The answer is the inaugural Beat Magazine Band Bible!!!
So. What is it?
- A separate, full-colour magazine that we’re inserting into Beat
- It’s a square tabloid format, with high quality, fatter paper stock!
- A 35,000 copy print run.
- It will operate as a reference to local independent bands.
- It will be a constant music resource delivered straight to the mailbox of every band-booker, booking agent, manager, record label, distribution network, venue, cafe, club, pub, booking agency and radio station in Victoria.
Plus, obviously, it’s a great way to let thousands of Beat-reading punters know who you are, what your act is all about, and where to find you.
Simply, for $350+gst you will get:
- A full colour quarter page profile, where you’re able to also place a photo of your band.
- All your relevant website, MySpace and contact details.
- The opportunity to shed some light on who you are and what you do in a widely-distributed format
- All the artists will be alphabetically listed
Release date is the 16th of September (ideally so it sits on coffee tables through till summer).
So, don’t mess about… get in quick!
Call or email Kosta on (mixdown@beat.com.au) or 9503 0420 to arrange your submission.

Venues : rainbow hotel: leonard cohen fans wanted
samanthad writes"Hi all,
I am organizing a monthly night at The Rainbow Hotel in Fitzroy (first one Monday 12th October) called ‘Inspired at the Rainbow….Leonard Cohen’)
Each month we will have a different feature artist – thinking Johnny Cash for November, let me know what you think, I am open to suggestion..!) Inspired at the Rainbow will be a cross between a jam night and an open mic – the idea is for performers (any instrument, and/or vocal) to have a space to show new work, and also to do a few covers of the feature artist if desired, and most fun, to have a chance to jam with other musos who have at least one similar influence to you. It is a chance for an audience who are fans of a particular artist to see a whole bunch of people inspired by that person, and appreciate the diversity of talent in this fine city, in an informal and organic atmosphere. All sorts of collaborations could take off from here! I would like to book people in for 20-30 min sets (depending on numbers) as well as leave some time at the end for a bit of a jam. Please invite a fair few mates to come as your audience as this will increase the likelihood that we can put on other interesting evenings in the months ahead. To book in, email samantha_deasy@yahoo.com by 5th October (a last minute turn up is good too, although we may not have too much performing time left) Date: 12th October Payment: a couple of drinks for each performer from the kind owners of the Rainbow: around $12, the chance to extend your musical networks: priceless...
