I’m the author of a book that competes (in a way) with this book and I have to say I am totally into “The Indie Band Survival Guide.” It has a very fresh view of what it’s like to be in an indie band — so fresh that it should be called “Indie Band 2.0.” It throughly analyzes the revenue streams for indie bands in this post-music biz blowdown era and provides lots and lots of realistic and helpful info.

Wow! This books speaks to so many audiences. If you are a musician, someone who loves music, an information technologist, a marketeer, or perhaps a sociologist who wants to understand why the Internet profoundly changes society, this book is for you. Did I mention the book also covers the intellectual property rights and issues surrounding the music industry? Written in a rational, concise manner, the authors cite sources and experience backing up their conclusions and recommendations and then follow up with step-by-step instructions on how to navigate your indie band to success.
