How To Promote your Band / Group with a Google AdWords Campaign

adw_camp_040Every band in the world has the necessity to promote itself. If the band is the main activity of the components, plays a popular genre, is willing to play several days per week and to travel, there are chances that it can engage an agent that promotes it. But what if you play just for passion dedicating only a little time to it, are willing to play just a few days per month and not so far away from home? Well, it’s quite sure that you have to promote your band by yourself :)

This article was born from my real life experience. I play in a 5 kidult elements band in Italy just for passion and it is not the main activity for us, the dedicated time is limited and therefore we would like to play 1/2 times per month maximum and nearby our homes. In order to find places and events where to play we send e-mails, make phone calls and some visits, but it’s a time consuming activity with a low success probability. And I personally hate this activity, I love to play, I don’t like to be a promoter! That’s why thinking how I could activate something automatic that could help us in this search, I have thought of Internet and Google AdWords.

Tango Spleen a Milano per Presentare l’Album Tipico

tango_spleen_libertyTango Spleen, grupo musical italo-argentino, sarà a Milano Venerdì 18 Novembre 2011 per presentare le musiche dell’ultimo album TIPICO.

L’evento si terrà presso la storica Palazzina Liberty di Milano che si vestirà di tango per ospitare il concerto dell’ “orquesta” diretta dal pianista e cantante Mariano Speranza, in uno spettacolo entusiasmante che propone le musiche dell’ultimo lavoro discografico.

Dedicato alle grandi orchestre di tango del secolo scorso, il concerto reinterpreta arrangiamenti classici con nuovi timbri e colori caratteristici dell’ensemble, offrendo la possibilità e l’emozione di ballare sulla musica dal vivo in questo elegante spazio del primo Novecento, ribattezzato Casa Cambalache in omaggio alla tradizione di Buenos Aires.

Sul palco si esibiranno Mariano Speranza al pianoforte e al canto, Andrea Marras al violino, Giampaolo Costantini al bandoneon, Elena Luppi alla viola, Gian Luca Ravaglia al contrabbasso e Silvio Jara alla chitarra e percussioni, alternandosi con gli interventi musicali della Tango-Dj di origine sudamericana Burgoita.

Valvole per Amplificatori da Chitarra: la Vita Segreta delle Valvole

Questo post è la traduzione di un articolo presente sul sito internet della Marshall che ringraziamo per averci autorizzato a pubblicarlo.

È parte della nostra Valvole per Amplificatori da Chitarra: la Guida Completa.

 

The original English version of this article is available here.

Valvole (denominate in Inglese “valve” o “tube”) di tutte le forme, dimensioni e fatture sono sempre state associate con i molti timbri famosi degli amplificatori Marshall e per una buona ragione – esse sono un componente essenziale nella creazione di ciò che è divenuto conosciuto come il “suono Marshall”. Eppure, nonostante la loro importanza, nella mente del chitarrista medio le valvole sono avvolte in un’aura misteriosa. In effetti, negli anni un’intera mitologia (in parte reale, in parte pura fantasia!) è stata costruita attorno a questi enigmatici componenti elettronici.  Con questo articolo, il primo di una serie su questo soggetto, speriamo di fare un po’ di luce sulla così tanto equivocata valvola. Cominceremo dallo spiegare qualcosa riguardo il come questi vetri incandescenti generatori di timbro lavorano – in termini ‘chitarrista amichevoli’, naturalmente!
