Don’t forget, tomorrow continues the BandCamp series at Caroline Collective. (Given my recent Rock Band 2 obsession, I may be considering quitting my job to join a band. that, or just to play Rock Band all day.)

When: January 4, 2009, 1-3p

*We are also asking bands to submit a tour proposal to us: length, desired region, budget, why… Then we will select one of these proposals and book that band a tour. We will transparently detail every step of the way so that others can learn this process and provide guidance for our (mis)steps. By collectively sharing the Houston Music Community’s expertise and advice we’ll be able to demonstrate its actual strength.
