Who else do you know that wears sweatbands?

When promoting a night club or bar you really have a endless amount of ideas. Only problem most ideas won’t help promote your bar. Night club apparel is becoming more and more popular. Sure you can order night club shirts but everyone does that and you should try to stand out. Night club merchandise works in two ways its worn both by the employees and your loyal customers, that’s why its important to be careful when you choose custom logo merchandise. We would recommend trying wholesale sweatbands. These look great on your staff while they work behind the bar. Your customers won’t wear a t-shirt all weekend long but they will wear a sweatband for a week straight. So where they go so does your logo it may even wind up right in your competitors club. Nightclub promotions will never be hard for you again once you order your custom logo promotional sweatbands.

Both big and small bands/individuals are taking advantage of twitter, which is an amazing status by status update client. It’s simple – all you do is tell twitter what you are doing at the moment and in turn it broadcasts it to all your followers.  Now you can follow band members inside of your favorite band. Scary? Yeah, maybe a little bit..because when you tell people your going to Starbucks on 5th avenue don’t be surprised if you get bombarded with stalkers and maybe even paparazzi. Twitter is amazing if you know how to use it correctly and if your fans are on it. It’s one of the best and most simple music marketing tools there is. Best of all its free. It strips all your social networks features down into just status. HOWEVER, I’ve seen bloggers stop making blog post and musicians stop practicing at band practice because they are too busy telling others what they are doing. Is it a productivity issue? Maybe, but that depends on how much you use Twitter.

Who do you know on Twitter?

This music app happens to be a few months old, but that doesn’t change the fact that the company who made it is amazing. Smule is coming out with another iPhone app entitled “Leaf Trombone” later on this year. Ocarina for the Iphone reminds me of the good old days of chilling and playing Zelda for n64, while drinking a coke. I think i might have to start re-living those days again! Keep an eye on Smule for all the bet music apps on the iPhone.

Say What? Yeah, you heard me right. Michael Mayer, director of Broadway’s Spring Awakening, and Green Day decided to get together for a musical. The entire theatrical production will be based off of Green Day’s American Idiot. “It doesn’t make a lot of sense,” front man Billie Joe Armstrong told the NYT, “but that’s what I love about it. When people see it, it’s going to be my wildest dream. The American Idiot musical will open September 4th at California’s Berkeley Repertory Theatre and run through October 11th.
