Please do not send unsolicited packages as we receive many requests for representation, and cannot listen to everything that comes in. If you are interested in speaking with us about long-term representation you must have already conquered the following goals:
1. Playing more than 175 shows a year in more than one region
2. Professional booking representation (An agent)
3. A working EP or studio album for placement
4. Professional press photo
5. Touring capabilities (Working van or bus)
This is not meant to discourage you from pursuing your goal or dream - but to encourage you that it is in fact possible to take the next step. If you think you fit the aforementioned criteria we encourage you to contact us to discuss representation.
