Anyone know of any? Were looking for one but not sure really where or who to go to. I figure the best thing is to look who other bands are using and contact them but just wondering if anyone else knows of any one or where to look?

INTROMENTAL manages some great bands that are more or less like your band in style. I think you would fit them.
They used to manage my friends in COMMUNIC, and I got the impression that INTROMENTAL were great to work with.

I'll manage your band. I only ask for a 25% cut and $1,500 up front to cover my initial expenses.

Strange..
Looking at the other bands they manage, I personally would have guessed they`d be interested..
Oh well, sure they have their reasons.
Good luck finding someone though.

Well those 2 things are the hardest to find in the business.

Just book your own tours and push yourself because the others will turn up in the near future if you work it right. Managers this day in age aren't even really necessary anymore.

They arent really hard to find, pretty much just look through other bands albums and see who they use and contact them but I figure someone else might know.

Weve been doing it ourselves for the past 10 years and its becoming more and more impossible to get shows either because places are closing down left and right or the places wont even bother with you unless you have a manager. Its becoming to the point where I dont even want to play out anymore unless its something extremely worthwhile, id just rather record music.
