ATTN: Houston Bands, Get Out Of Town!

We mean that in a very loving way, trust us. The simple fact is that most Houston bands do not tour frequently, if at all. There is an overabundance of good music in this town [several of our favorite acts are playing this weekend, even], and we will do our best to avidly promote the local talent. While the internet is fairly amazing and absurd, the world is not going to discover just how great our music scene is if the bands in town don't hit the pavement and play some other cities and get people talking.

Houstonist is far from alone in this sentiment, and thankfully hardly the only folk in this glorious city that would like to see the situation remedied. Which is where Bandcampus enters the picture. Meeting monthly at Caroline Collective for almost a year now, Bandcampus strives to be a resource available for any and every local musician. There's a meeting tomorrow [Sunday, January 31st] from 2 - 4 pm for a session all about booking your band some shows, complete with an ebook (for free) that includes a venue list for Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and Victoria/Corpus Christi as well as a mad-libs style email contact form and a mad-libs style phone contact form.

Basically, if you're a local musician/band trying to get shows outside of town you'd be silly not to attend this. It sounds like a winner to us.
