I visited four live music venues yesterday night. All of
them locate near Dupont Circle. I started my interview around 19:00 and got
great feedback form two managers.
The first venue I interviewed was John at the Utopia Bar&GRILL on the U St. They host great bands and dance nights in the two
performance spaces. Most of the bands they used were promoted by bands agents
and friends’’ recommendation, John wants bands to perform in professional way
which means they show up on time, play good music and interact with the
audience. If the bands were good enough, the Black Cat willing to have long
term cooperation with them and pay certain amount of money. John believed the
most important things for the Bands he would use were great music and reliable,
so, John like the idea that we offer to have a platform to link directly with
the bands that he never used. He said the new talented bands were always
welcome to him, but he need to know the past
stage experience, track record and demos form the bands. He use the agents
because they can offer reliable bands, if we can offer the same service with
cheaper price and more chooses, he would not hesitate to use our service.
The second successful
interview happened in Black Fox Lounge with LAURA. It's a jazz lounge, the performance
space is small and it maintains a small size of performers too. Usually Laura
cooperates with few long-term performers but she is always open for new good
performers. Because she only focused on Jazz, so, if we could offer service
that promoting new Jazz performers every month, she would definitely try to
reach them and invite them to show in the lounge.
