Top 10 Music
Marketing and Promotion Ezines
Our good friends at The
Bard's Crier have compiled their list of the top ten music marketing
and promotion ezines available on the net. We totally agree with them... with one exception. In their humility,
they didn't include their own newsletter, which should definitely be there! Added Jan 2002.

Newsletter
Bandit is a monthly publication (in business for nearly 20 years)
designed
to help musicians target their demos and press kits to music businesses
(labels, publishers, managers and producers) that are actively searching for
new talent. Every month, the newsletters feature 30 companies, in the UK,
the US and around the world, the information in the newsletter coming
directly from the people named, immediately prior to publication, to ensure
the highest possible accuracy. The newsletter is $18 (US) per month, or less
if paid quarter or yearly and based on the testimonials, a very good
investment. A free
sample copy of the newsletter is available by
sending
an email to bandit.196@aweber.com. Updated 05/29/2007.

and artists which will be of interest to musicians. Some examples; Milla Jovovich, Ike Turner, Blues Traveler,
Extreme and more. The Celebrity Cafe will also review your CD for their web site. Updated 05/03/2002.
