"ATHENA REICH: In this segment, I'm going to talk about the importance of having an electronic press kit when booking your music tour. My favorite way to have an electronic press kit is through Sonicbids, Sonicbids.com. It's really easy and faster to use. You upload pictures and music and your bio and you can print it out. This is a printout of my electronic press kit. It has all my information, who is in my band. It has my instrumentation, my discography, my press. It has everything that you could ever want. Now, you don't need to go through Sonicbids. Sonicbids is maybe about $60 every six months. But you can also--you just could have your own website but make sure your website is organized and easy to use. A lot of venues are happy with Myspace but I think Myspace, some venues think it's a little unprofessional but definitely have your Myspace, your website, your Sonicbids; have it be professional and organized. You need to have an electronic website presence."
