So this is my first ever blog post, hurrah! I was going to start this in the New Year but there are things that I’ve read and things that are coming up that I wanted to blog about, so I thought I would start early. I’ll soon be posting more, so my blog seems a bit bare at the moment.
So I read this blog post from the band Pomplamoose. It’s really refreshing to read. I keep coming across more and more music artists releasing information about how they are managing to keep doing what they are doing in an increasingly difficult industry. A lot of artists I have noticed have started to become self-managed and self-funded, whether that be through crowd funding or through pure faith that their fans will buy tickets to their shows, like Pomplamoose. It’s a very complicated machine which is baffling as it is frustrating and ‘the industry’ appears in my eyes like that massive wall in Game of Thrones…large, impenetrable and the potential of a massive fall.
