Bay City Music

BayCityMusic.com was started with the idea to help original bands in the mid-Michigan area and one of the first ideas that we had was to put out a compilation cd highlighting the best rock bands in the region.

 

We have the name and website urls purchased, and everything was set, however after closer examination there were a few items that we felt weren’t in the best interest of the bands so the idea was put on hold and taken off the website.

We are still determined to put out a quality cd that will actually help make a difference for local bands.

Below you will find the non negotiable conditions that must be met before BayCityMusic.com feels comfortable with having our name and time associated with a compilation cd.


1. The Compilation Cd must be 100% free for bands.

2. Bands must receive a good portion of the cd’s for free.

3. Bands must receive full royalties on all sales. (mechanical or otherwise)

4. The compilation cd must be a regular cd with a kick...it must also contain electronic media kits for all selected bands that industry contacts can easily look at.

5. This CD must have the backing of a quality radio station so that the bands will receive local promotion.

6. To maintain credibility when this cd is marketed to labels and industry contacts this cannot be a first come first serve cd (you can’t buy your way onto it) but bands whose song will appear must be selected by recognized industry professionals and meet the following conditions:

A. 100% Original (no covers or samples)
B. Band must be from mid-Michigan
C. Band must be able to tour
D. Bands must have a strong work ethic

This Cd is meant to promote professional bands that have worked hard and whose music deserves to be heard by a much wider audience.
