The Music Biz Weekly #98 - My Band Has $10,000, How Should I Use I?

I was recently asked this exact question by a band. My response? Put it in the gas tank.

We go on to discuss how a band needs to think of concepts such as "burn rate" and "ROI" when it comes to how they spend their money. Spending all your money on producing a killer album and then having no money left to support that album with touring and marketing will get you no results. Great music is just not discovered because it exists.
