“Panos’ Brew” is Sonicbids founder/CEO Panos Panay’s weekly (or more) post about whatever happens to be on his mind. Look for musings and observations on entrepreneurship, the state of the music business, his experiences with members, interesting things he’s seen in his travels, or just about anything else.

I just got my hands on a cool new book called The Indie Band Survival Guide.
I did not have the chance to read the whole thing yet but I love it. It’s the most comprehensive such book that I read in a while, very well written, and one of the first ones that really looks forward and talks about all the tools that an empowered band should have in their arsenal: blogging, selling music online, getting music into podcasts, learning what to pay attention to when designing your own site, etc. I am tired of all the books out there that talk about labels and managers and agents, etc. but don’t give you any practical advice that you can use right now and in today’s new environment.
There’s many of these “Indie Band” books out there but for me this is one of the best.
