Some nuggets of gold here!

Here are 50 Music Marketing Tips to help you make the most of your marketing time.

10/04/2015

Booking now for May and June!

Streamer Coffee Company Gohongi / acoustic or semi-acoustic spots on Tuesday and now Friday at the coffee shop! 7pm-8pm slot. Do an hour. Do 45 minutes. do 30. Do 2 x 20. Really, it is your hour. Do as you do.

Perfect for a solo, duo, trio. Any genre welcome, but remember to "mellow-fy" if you are not already on the softer side of things.
Shop has small PA with mixer, mics/stands. No amps ~ cause it is not a "live house" vibe. If you NEED an amp...bring a tiny one. The shop is open to public, so no entry free (no ticket income), but you can sell your CDs and merch, we put out a "musician tip" jar, and keep your coffee cup full.

(One solo performer drew enough people, she left with 9500y from her tip jar, and over 10,000y from CD sales. We can not promise you will have the same result, but it is certainly possible. She did do ample promotion on her social media, blog, and site.)
You can PM me here or email at [email protected] for booking.

Recently, we have not been hosting many public music events ~ spending more time working behind the scenes with artist development, promotion, and more. We want to share some of the exciting happenings here that show female musicians, singers, artists, so we will start posting videos, event listings, articles, sites where you can see and/or hear some of these amazing Japan-based, female involved, endeavors!

29/03/2015

Musical sorts of all ~ we have a couple spots at Streamer Coffee Company Gohongi still open for April: TUE 4/21, TH 4/23, TH 4/30. You have 7pm until 8pm to do what you like. Musically, of course, and keeping in the mellow/semi-mellowish vibe ~ cause it is a coffee shop, you know!! Let me know if you are interested in snatching one up! (Performers can be solo, duo, trio. No room for more or larger bands currently.)

13/02/2015

I am looking for bands or solo/duo performers interested in playing at some summer events at Yokota military base. All genres accepted. If you might be interested, please send me:
1. A photo of your band or yourself
2. A quality video of a live performance
3. Link to your website
4. Your reasonable request of payment to do a gig on base.
(food and drink provided at event)
Message if you have questions!
** This post is not for a specific event, so I can not tell you a date. This is to be put forward to them for consideration for multiple future events.
** If you are not sure of who your band members will be in summer, still submit. They are not going to decline you because you have a different guitarist at the event, than the one in your band photos.

07/02/2015

Thank you for the new "likes!" We have not been very BIG or VOCAL in our activities recently. Instead of organizing complete shows, we have been working on helping female musicians enter other shows as well as working on other music projects. Stay tunes for future activities ~

03/12/2014

Looking for a solo / duo / group to join a "home party live" style event to be held at a restaurant in Shinjuku area. Can be acoustic, semi-acoustic, or willing to ramp the usual 10+ volume down to about a 7.

Concept: hang with friends, meet some new people, play some regular originals, play some favorite covers if you like, share a new song you are working on and get some input from the other musicians and audience. Meet, chat, eat dinner, mingle, and enjoy!!

THUR January 29th is the date. Any genre welcome.

05/10/2014

24/09/2014

Looking for:

1. A hair/make-up person to work with a band for 1 photo-shoot and 1 live show. You do not have to be a licensed professional ~ but have some skill and ability.

2. A live video person to do live video for 3 songs at a gig. Again, no need to certifieid pro, just skilled and have desire. Basically, make a live video that is "pretty darn good," with good sound quality and resolution. Something you yourself would be proud to share the link and say: "Look at my recent video work!"

This is for an indie artist, self-funded. We can offer small payment and transport fees. You will receive credit and link for your work in all publishing of the photos and/or video. Contact for more info ~

19/09/2014

Anyone interested in doing 2 sets ( or you and a friend each doing 1 set ) at a lovely new restaurant in Akasaka-Mitsuke on 10/18 or 10/25? Solo person or duo is best. Trio works. (Stage area small so more is too tight.) Most styles fine ~ just keep in mind and appropriate for pleasant sit-down restaurant with happy, dining, chatting people. Payment? 1 meal and drink per performer, plus 10% of bar sales, plus a gift cert for each performer in the amount of 2500y to be used there in future.

Dates again: 10/18 and 10/25! Send me a message!

GoGirls Tokyo is NOT about "girl bands" although some performers may be all girl bands. It isnt even about female fronted bands, although some are. Part of the purpose is to provide additional performance opportunity and networking for women in music: be they singers, members of an all girl punk band, or the drummer laying down the beat for an otherwise all male band.

GoGirls Tokyo is taking a slight break from *public* activity - until January 2014. Lots of behind-the-scenes to do: revamp website, confirm some partnerships and sponsorships with other music industry organizations, revamp logo to be true to original but with Japan flair, etc. Look forward to details on the "GoGirls Tokyo Reboot" January live event and discussion session!
