The very first We Own This Town podcast was kicked off by Ole Mossy Face and it only makes sense that the 25th installment of the podcast should be devoted to the Trey Deuce Club. While, musically, it’s a bit heavier leaning on the Americana and Western influenced stylings than the typical podcast fair it is the perfect embodiment of the mindset we love to see in the Nashville area. The Trey Deuce Club itself is a collective of musicians all writing together, playing in each others projects and cultivating support in general. Musicians making music together for the sake of making music; with a great community being created as a byproduct.

If you’re into what you’re hearing on this edition of the podcast be sure to drop by The 5 Spot on Friday (August 7th) to celebrate the release of the the Trey Deuce Club Vol. II compilation – featuring lots of new music from all of these artists. This podcast serves as an overview of some of the best of what they have to offer, the new compilation lets you in on the latest and greatest.

Internet 101: Manage Your Band

Recently Bandize came out of private beta and opened its doors to anyone interested in getting themselves organized. The service is aimed specifically at musicians and keeping all things band related all in one place. From the looks of it, they have done an incredibly thorough job of covering all the bases. Bands can keep track of their upcoming shows, accomodations out of town, all sorts of accounting for money coming in and going out, contacts, merchandise management, social syncing*, and all sorts of general inner-band member messaging and scheduling. You can even kick a member out of the band by banning their account!

If you’re in a band, managing a band or know a band that is oddly unorganized (i.e. most bands) I suggest at least giving Bandize a look for the 30-day free trial. After that it’s a $15/month charge but I can’t imagine the services it provides not being worth that.

* Currently does Social Syncing with MySpace and VIRB – not quite as robust as Artist Data yet but I have a feeling it’s on the way.
