Band Press Kit Sample Outline
Below we will give you some ideas on building your
Band Press Kit. This Sample Band
Press Kit Template or Music Press Kit should help your band,
garage band, indie rock band, or music act build a
successful Press Kit. Press Kits are a valuable tool
for booking gigs and shows in your area. Remember this
is just a sample press kit outline to give your band some
ideas to hopefully point you in the right direction.
Always include your contact or booking information when ever
possible on as many pages of your press kit as you can.
Include your booking contact information on your Band Demo
CD as well just in case it gets separated from your band
press kit. Your band does not have to include all the
info listed, but the more information you give to the club
booker the better. For more information on what
content to include in your press kit try our
Press Kit Tips
Page.
The Press Kit sample outline below is meant for
the band on the budget who would like to save money and
produce their own press kit. Try using a computer word
processor. You should be able to scan in images and
newspaper clippings on most word processor applications.
Be inventive and produce your music press kit as cost
effectively as you can without losing quality. The
more professional the band and how it represents itself, the
better your chance of getting the gig. It is a good
idea to include most of the information within the press kit
in your band website as well. Some bands have
electronic press kits included in their website.
Online Band Press Kits may also include most of the information below. Also, if your band webmaster has the knowledge, it may be a good idea to include song sound bytes, band video clips, and links to current shows booked in your electronic press kit or online press kit.
