About Me


WELCOME TO BLAZIN' BANDS!
Blazin Bands was originally created to help the bands of the SW Ohio Music Scene network and learn more about promotion, booking, increasing and maintaining their fan base, street teams, merch ideas, band page ideas, running your band like a business, show etiquette and so much more!!! Due to the huge response to the original Blazin Bands myspace, this page was set up to assist bands not from the local area who routinely sent me an add request on the original Blazin' page.
BLAZIN' BOOKING!
If you are looking for a gig in the SW Ohio area, you have the following options:
1. Message me the following info and I will bulletin it from my local Blazin page to bands and musicians and other industry professionals in SW Ohio:
- Your band name
- Band banner that is clickable to your band page
- Location (City & State)
- Genre(s)
- Days/Dates you are looking to book
2. Take a look at the bands from the area who are looking to swap shows here: List Of Area Bands Looking To Swap Shows
3. I am also an affiliate for Burke's Booking. I am always looking for bands to play shows in the Dayton, Columbus and other areas of Ohio and beyond. Please Click Here for the most up-to-date list of available, paying gigs. My calendar is updated weekly, but that blog is updated at least every other day. The gigs I book for Burkes' are paying gigs, but require a booking fee from you. It is imperative that you email me the following info at [email protected], if you have not done so already. Only professional, responsible and serious bands who honor their commitments need inquire.

BLAZIN' PREMIUM SERVICES!
I also have a few premium services. For a small donation of $5 per service, I will:
--- Get you the code for your myspace mp3 player. When used in bulletins, the code will help your number of plays immensely. This will boost your ranking in myspace music search results.
--- Do the html on your band page so it is easy to read, organized, functional and is more professional. (This does not include the making of any images/banners.)
Thank you,
~Leemo
Note this is NOT the link for booking fees! Read the gigs blog for booking payment instructions! -Thanks!
CURRENT TIP:
HOW TO FIND BANDS TO PLAY WITH YOU
1. Go do a myspace music search.
2. Select the GENRE of the band you want to play with you. Ideally, pick the genre closest to your music FIRST. If you can't get anybody, try your second closest genre, etc.
3. Search for results within 10 miles of the venue's zip you are playing, or a general zip code of the area you want to play.
4. Sort the results by PLAYS, NOT the number of friends the bands have. (As we all know, myspace whores don't come to shows, much to many musicians' dismay ;-P)
5. Start at the top, and work your way down.
If the bands can't play with you at that time, you can still befriend them and ask them to consider you for future gigs.

Please note that the link has a space in it between "new" and "friends" since myspace will delete the link entirely if I run it all together. Many bands I know you this program, even just the free trial to not only add friends, but to send bulletins, respond with "Thanks for the Add" and more!
