About me:

ABOUT THE COLUMN:


Unlike far too many stereotypical depictions of the music industry offered by mainstream media, Rose Cora Perry's popular music insight and advice column, "So You Wanna Be in a Rock Band?" tells the blatant truth demolishing the distorted "overnight success" myths that remain pervasive in society.

Too many artists have fallen victim to these delusions, and too many potentially great songwriters have been left jaded, empty and disillusioned after being spewed out of an industry clothed in a veil that appears to be supportive of new talent, but in reality, would rather earn easy revenue by perpetuating a cycle of sound-a-like artists.

Based on both her personal experiences as a frontwoman of two successful independent Canadian rock projects, and as the owner and operator of her own independent record label, complimented by thorough research and interviews with industry veterans, the goal of Perry's column is to offer fellow artists something that she did not have; a realistic portrayal of what they are getting themselves into.

Covering topics ranging from booking tours to marketing one's act to industry-related alternative sources of revenue to music scams to current trends, the driving force behind her column: is to educate, provoke thought, and hopefully teach others not to accept things, simply, at their face value.

Originally published by Fanshawe College's The Interrobang,(London, ON, CA), Rose Cora Perry's "So You Wanna be in a Rock Band?" is currently syndicated by CoverZone Magazine (Bristol, CT, USA),Alternative World FanZine(Los Angeles, CA, USA), Indie IN-TUNE Magazine(Epping, NH, USA) and Indie Music Project(Lansing, MI, USA) boosting a dedicated readership of over 100,000 per issue. Additionally, Perry's articles are available on several online blogging sites.

Rose Cora Perry is always looking for suggestions for upcoming pieces, and would love to hear from YOU regarding your experiences in the industry.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Rose Cora Perry is the frontwoman for Canadian hard rock band ANTI-HERO known as “The 21st Century Answer to Nirvana”, as well as the sole owner and operator of HER Records, a management company in which she offers marketing, promotion, publicity, tour booking, and artist development services.

Her band ANTI-HERO has toured extensively across North America playing notable festivals such as Warped Tour, Canadian Music Week, NorthbyNorthEast, Wakefest, and MEANYFest. Voted “Best Rock Act of the Year” by numerous industry publications, their critically acclaimed debut album, Unpretty is available worldwide for purchase.

Rose Cora Perry is a dedicated promoter of D.I.Y. ethics, and an avid supporter of independent musicians.

Hi Rose... I found a quote I thought you'd like...

“The general attitude is, “I want it, and I want it now!” But it really takes years if you’re going to do it right, and a lot of kids just don’t want to take the time to work on it and see where it’s all going, and what it means, and where it comes from, and how they should apply it and use it in playing their songs. It doesn’t make any difference how technically good you are or fast you are or how many notes you know; you just can’t do it in two years.” - Johnny Winter

Hi Rose,

What can I say, you are one of my favourite people ever since I started in this business!

I love this profile and I've already subscribed to your blogs. I have a Tips for Indies section on my website and would love to credit you and add your blogs to my site and hyperlink it to wherever you want it, I think so many people would benefit from reading them. Just let me know.

Thank you for all that you have taught me along the way and the many questions I had for you especially when I first started and didn't have a clue, of course its still a continual learning process.

My site got hacked twice in the past week, but your band has always been on my Top Friends from the start.

Whatever I can do to support you Rose, just let me know. I'll be in touch shortly about the bash, details are still being worked out.

All the best, I'll be in touch soon.

Much Love Always,
Mary
xoxo
