We recently put together our first demo, and right away we decided to print an insert with all our upcoming shows for the month and contact info for tickets, directions, etc. We've been selling them at our shows for 1$ to cover demo production costs, and people are very supportive-we've also noticed that since we started distributing demos at shows, our myspace/online traffic has increased exponentially. As more and more people get added to our network, we're able to send out more info regarding showtimes, etc."-Zach of Red Run Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2007 2:41pm

"McKenzie Creek Band Hey thanks for having us and don't worry about the $20 bucks really. Bad news for me, the guys I had hired for the band couldn't handle the stress of a bigger show than they are use to and they kind of buckled under me. The show was pretty good but there was a lot of stress between us. So unfortunately I had to fire the boys. I am currently looking for new members and I will keep you posted on the out come. Thanks anyway I had a great time inspite of the troubles and look forward to doing some more shows with you." - Mac From McKenzie Creek Band

"Hey whitney, Our band has had a lot of miscomunication lately. our drummer has pretty much had his mindset on playing this show, while not meeting with us on this to come to a complete desicion. we have our eyes this month fully set to start recording our demo. All of our efforts and trys will be focused and set fully to this. we are extremely sorry, and hope that this does not cost you any problems. And if it does tell us anything we can do to make it up to you. We regretfully are pulling out of this slot, to focus our efforts on our demo, and then release it in the following month at an amazing show. Once again we are all extremely sorry for any problems we may have caused. please keep us posted on upcoming shows. We are extremely grateful for your help and support. Hope All Is Well."

"Joe, Thanks for getting in touch. And thanks for having so much information available to prospective bands/clients. Your attitude sounds/reads great and I look forward to the chance to work together. Hell's kitchen...hmmm...if you've got a bill I fit on cool...looks a little rough and tumble for a singer/songwriter like myself, but I'm not one to turn down a gig over a small ass kicking. It looks like I could do an acoustic set on Jan. 28th...and then it's mid April before I'm open again. Not to say I'm out touring, but I'm making a record that requires my full and undivided attention until then. Again, thanks a ton for the interest. Let's keep banging it back and forth until we can work something out. Cool,G."
