What can Red Dragon Booking / Entertainment do for my band?

The End of Silence started their National tour June 14th and wanted to end September 30th, 2006. They had Meredith Sloan of Melon Media doing PR for this tour. Although Red Dragon Booking / Entertainment and Melon Media had never worked together previously, but much like the other publicists we have worked with in the past, we hit it off right away! The End of Silence started their tour with no previous experience in any of the markets across the country, and were fine with the initial $40 to $100 guarantee's we set out to secure for them, and understood that if we were unable to acquire those guarantee's for them from the venues, that unfortunately that is how it is across the country now a days, venues don't hand out money, as listed in our Term of Service Agreement.

Across the first leg of the tour, Meredith and Red Dragon Booking / Entertainment worked so well together, The End of Silence started drawing 20 to 30 to 50 people at venues, in cities where they had never set foot before. Then by the time they got to the east coast, they were drawing an average of 50 people per show and easily acquiring their $80 to $100 guarantee's and above per night. By mid August things were going so well, they decided to stay out on the road until October 30th, and once they came back around and hit all of the same clubs on their way home, they were receiving guarantee's of $200 to $500+ per night and drawing almost 300 people at venues they had only played once a few weeks or in some instances months before, where they had only drawn 20 to 30 people.

Good progressive booking paired with good progressive PR and good promotion is the best thing for a band on tour, however their expectation level has to be in the right place and this example proves that, because if The End of Silence, their label or anyone else involved had expected to make $200 to $500 per show right off the bat, then it wouldn't have worked out this well for everyone involved, because that is an unrealistic expectation for any band setting out on their first tour. Keeping the expectation level to what it should be $0 to $40 to $100 per show, in areas your band has never played before, will be more beneficial in the progress of the long run then going out with the wrong expectations and becoming frustrated, or disappointed and not furthering the overall success and career goals. So as a result of the Hard Work of the band The End of Silence, the financial support, dedication and hard work of their label Killer Puppy Records, successful booking paired with, successful PR and successful promotion, staying out from June 14th until October 30th established the band across the country and made for much larger connections than they ever dreamed of and got the attention of Jacoby, lead singer of multi-platinum hard rock band "Poppa Roach" and they are currently in negotiations to join them as main support on the next Poppa Roach national tour, and are currently working on setting dates for Jacoby to produce the next "The End of Silence" record.
