A press kit is a means of promotional and marketing material to make you known in the industry. Press kits are created for bands once you have established yourself. They include certain things about your band, such as, music, CDs, bios, photos and other things that will promote your bands. You also should include lists of discographies, which are previous albums, lists of shows and other sorts of events and accomplishments that your band has done. Press kits can take a couple of different forms. There's the tangible press kit and there is also the electronic press kit. Tangible press kits are held in the hand and have photos and usually common folders. Electronic press kits are the future of press kits. These press kits are online and are great because they can be accessed anywhere and include music streaming online the entire time. Press kits are a great way to get your band gigs and get them known to the industry.
