Fizzle Promotions

About Me

Apocalypse Nerd
Started as an itty bitty hobby in the beginning of Summer 2006, and is now a medium sized hobby. I am a non-profit promoter in the Greater Phoenix area. Basically, I can set-up a show for you and do most/all of the promotions for it. [BTW,It's great when bands help out and use to posters/fliers that I have made. It helps a lot.]
I have worked with local and national bands (both signed and unsigned). Most local shows don't really pay anything, but since I don't take any of the profit, touring bands usually get a percentage and if there is enough left over, it is distributed equally to the local support. I think it's fair that way. I can also negotiate a guarantee for touring or signed bands.
Note: Fizzle Promotions(Penguins!) has local/independent visual artists make the fliers/posters that you see on this myspace. Past artists include: GummyBearPoop, Omni, and Ambur Gore. Currently, the past few posters have been made by Camilla Taylor.
Interested musicians and/or artists should contact me directly through this myspace profile or can e-mail me here: [email protected]
