Musicadium Blog

I recently designed some flyers for the UnPlug Live concept I had devised several weeks back. Last week I got my designs printed @ StreetPrint in Birmingham, (posters to follow soon).

I’ll be distributing these everywhere I go; at local shows, venues, record shops, recording studios, ticket outlets, clothes stores, universities, colleges, fast food joints…everywhere!

Since displaying the flyers outside the venue the other day, a good number of bands are already showing interest in playing at UnPlug, finding the policy I have specified for each show most appealing. This of course benefits the exposure of Musicadium, potentially increasing the level of UK artists registering for digital distribution.

Digital copies of these flyers are circulating across Myspace, Facebook and other social networking sites, with various Birmingham bloggers also due to be contacted.

Here’s a clearer example (click to enlarge)

Advance tickets for each show look a little something like this:

I’ve been meeting up with artists scheduled to play at the venue, discussing the idea of UnPlug Live and the benefits of registering with Musicadium. The fact that bands retain 100% royalties and have no term based contracts hanging over their heads, proves to be the most appealing factor when informing exactly how the distribution deal works. The cool thing is that this policy I have devised at UnPlug will also remain on-going, even after my internship is complete and I have moved to Australia. Providing the nights are successful, the events will continue, therefore creating a solid connection with Musicadium and UnPlug in the UK.

I’m also mapping out ideas for the Musicadium podcast I mentioned in one of my previous posts. For every artist registered through the Unplug Live concept, I then wish to devise a podcast featuring tracks from bands who have performed at UnPlug. This will be a first and awesome feature for the company, another incentive for artists wishing to get their music heard.

I’m also going to represent Musicadium with my upcoming DJ bookings, by having the Musicadium logo alongside my name on all future flyer designs. Every little bit helps!

Ok I could really do with some tea and pudding right now…I’ll keep you all updated with more news soon!

Peace
