The Rider: Electronic Press Kits

Another that is included on an electronic press kit that is often left out of tangible press kits is a link to a rider. It is left out of tangible press kits, because most of the time, when you are giving a press kit to someone, they are inquiring about you and everything that you have done. They are not trying to find out about your rider. A rider is a list of things that you need when you are going to play a show. It is used for venues to know how to prepare. Sunny day riders show the venues that they want to play at and everything that they are supposed to need in order to play. It shows them the stage setup, talks about the contacts and (a lot of the times) talks about everything they need. All of these talk about electronic and audio equipment that they need. Riders can also include different things that the band needs to play including food, hospitality services and other aspects of getting a show.
