TOUR OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA AT THE PEPSI CENTER!
This event is now CLOSED. We are taking names in case of a cancellation.

We'll get to see the dressing rooms, the sound booth, the loading dock, and all those places you haven't had a chance to see and hope to someday as a performer, tech, tour manager, or other music-business related career! Cost is $6 -- unless, of course, you are a paid COMBO member then you get in FREE! Be sure to bring your current COMBO membership card with you. These tours are really exciting and inspirational to anyone who thinks they'd like to be in the business of music. Send an e-mail to info@coloradomusic.org indicating how many of *you* would like to attend if an opening becomes available.

NEW WEBSITE TO RATE VENUES
By Matt Plummer, AFM Web Developer and Tech Support Specialist
Venuology.com, a new website from the AFM Freelance Services Division, is becoming an important resource for musicians booking gigs at New York City nightclubs and other venues. This service will now expand to Metro Denver.
In recent years, musicians have found that even large venues with good crowds are refusing to pay musicians adequately. Bands are often paid solely by audience tips, leaving clubs free to erase live music from their business expenses.
Without significant union density, many musicians in indie rock, the downtown scene, jazz, world music, Latin music and country-western are fending for themselves - otherwise known as the D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) model. Clubs benefit from a glut of musicians looking for gigs, and the subsequent race to the bottom.
The power dynamic is skewed. For a given club, an owner can choose between multiple bands looking for work. From the band's perspective, they can accept the owner's terms - or let another group take their place.
Venuology.com ameliorates this problem. It creates a space where musicians can safely share information about venues. Bands review venues they perform at, writing anonymously about their experience and optionally listing details such as the club's backline, sound quality, room size, whether the club promoted the show and even how much the band was paid.
Armed with this information, other groups can make informed choices when negotiating with venues. They know if the venue has ripped off other bands, or if musicians uniformly love playing there. Musicians can see if groups received free drinks or food. They have a general idea of what others were paid, and they know if the venue uses minimum draws to justify denying bands a share of the cover.

Just 'cause we don't have something specific under this heading doesn't mean you still shouldn't be thinking, praying, and maybe sending a little money to our musical brothers and sisters in Louisiana, Missississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Also, Haiti is still a big mess. $1 doesn't sound like much but when we all pitch in a $1, a little goes a long way.

CURRENT SCAMMER WARNING FOR COLORADO MUSICIANS...
[Courtesy of Whisper Fiercely Entertainment] We felt it should be brought to the attention of the Media and to local artists in Denver, CO that one Jason Quintana ("Ponce") of "Evil Empire Entertainment" has on numerous occasions defrauded bands within the Denver Metro Area. To date he has taken money from a minimum of 10 bands that Whisper Fiercely is aware of and has not returned anything promised to any of them. He has been caught on video and audio recording making claims that Evil Empire has a stage at Mayhem Fest, Mile High Music Fest, Alice in Chains and The Deftones concerts, all of which are false claims according to our sources.
Should you have any contact with this gentleman, please be aware of his lofty promises. Jason Quintana may claim to be a part of Clear Channel, Live Nation and/or AEG Live. None of these organizations employ him or contract with him. He may tell you that he is able to get you backstage passes and ask that you fork over several hundred dollars to do so: This is not common honest practice in the music industry. Backstage passes are reserved for high profile management and sponsors in most cases and it is highly unethical to sell them for profit. Jason Quintana has been in the system since at least 2005 for fraud and forgery and was apprehended for it in 2008.
http://www.9news.com/pdfs/50_most_wanted.pdf
Please study his face on the mug shot – he is #43 on the page. This is an old photo and he is now approximately 25-30 lbs. heavier than in this photograph. Our estimates are in the thousands of dollars that have been lost by local musicians trusting in their dreams and finding just another sleazy promoter!

Second place went to Rich Owens of Monument, and third went to 13 year old Hannah Foreman of Buena Vista (really talented young lady). Steve & Rich won by singing two of their own original songs. It was really nice to see that the judges appreciated original music and didn’t settle for covers.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
360s are negotiable:“Should you be able to get the attention of a record label, you will undoubtedly be offered a 360 degree deal. That means the record company will want to participate not only in income derived from sales of recordings, but also in income from touring, publishing and merchandising. Because the label is looking to take a percentage of all aspects of your career, that percentage number is negotiable. Do what you can to get what you deserve.”
Owen Sloane, Co-chair of
Berger Kahn's Entertainment and Media Group.

MOVIE FOR AUGUST 2010: “WON’T ANYBODY LISTEN?”
Release Date: 28 September 2001 (USA)
Genre: Music Documentary
Filmmaker Dov Kelemer's initial project, to create a video of a California rock band to be sold at concerts, eventually evolved into this fascinating and eye-opening feature-length documentary examining the harsh realities of the contemporary music business. Founding members of the band NC-17, brothers Frank and Vince Rogala, left rural Michigan for Southern California, hoping to sign a recording contract and fulfill their dreams of rock 'n' roll glory. Now they just want to make ends meet. What they encountered was a world populated with rock wannabes, where the fewer than one percent who actually achieve some fame seldom see a cent for all their labor. By focusing on the real-life experiences of NC-17, Kelemer reveals an all-too-common portrait of what it is like to be a contemporary musician in America, where life consists of taking part -time jobs, dealing with IRS audits and enduring the scandalous creative accounting practices prevalent in the recording business. "An intriguing, cautionary parable about the fickle nature of stardom" - Variety. Written by Anonymous
"Won't Anybody Listen" is a must see for any aspiring artist or any artist for that matter. This film captures seven years in the life of the little known Orange County, CA rock band named,"NC-17". The result is as painful a documentary as I've encountered. Like "Hoop Dreams" before it, "Won't" is a compelling tale documenting the passionate hard work of talented individuals struggling for acknowledgment. Unlike a doctor, lawyer, or carpenter, a musician has no entitlement to make a living at their profession. All talent aside, hard work will indeed carry you far in this life. Unless you're in a band, then the nearly concrete rules of success in business seem give way to entropic nothingness.
One of the great things about this film is its ability to be equally effective whether you love, hate or are indifferent to the music of the subject. One doesn't need to watch it to know that talent often has little to do with success in music. We're reminded of that nearly every time we turn on a radio or watch any of the latest music videos. This film isn't able to inform what will make a band successful, but that's an unknowable equation, anyway. The documentary is actually about an ill-fated journey. The subjects run afoul of no less than an unscrupulous Hollywood manager preying upon the naivete of the transplants from Michigan, and of course, the A & R execs. The band suffers still other numerous, faceless, shipwrecks: The loss of "air time" to lip-syncers Milli Vanilli, and audits from the IRS.
Ultimately, the experience of being dashed against the craggy rocks of record labels proves fatal to the dream. The business model employed by the companies that we receive our popular music from is clearly a damaged bureaucracy. This experience puts faces on the casualties of that ill system. (Anonymous)
Review and info courtesy of http://www.imdp.com
BOOK FOR AUGUST: “All You Need to Know About the Music Business” – Great short book to get a quick over-view of the music business, its terms, and situations that you might find yourself in. Another easy read for a short trip. Written by Donald S. Passmann; published by Prentice Hall Press, 15 Columbus Circle, New York, NY 10023. ISBN 0-13-026915-8. Although this is somewhat out of date (1991), the book, nevertheless, still provides some very valuable information to the musician who is serious about the business of music.
Don’t forget: Even if you don’t have the money to buy a DVD or a book, there are libraries.
