King Parrot are one of the bands at the forefront of Australia’s heavy metal scene. It’s an achievement that didn’t happen by coincidence nor overnight. It took endless days in tour vans, nights playing sweaty gigs, and lots of hard work in the studio.
Along the way, the band have managed to pick up a couple of tips and tricks that could well serve other bands looking to achieve similar feats as King Parrot, who’ve put on sold-out tours, released acclaimed albums, and collaborated with icon Phil Anselmo.
Vocalist and co-manager Matt Young is now teaming up with Music Business Facts host Rodney Holder to present a free online music business lecture this Sunday, 24th January, titled ‘How To Take Your Band From the Rehearsal Room To International Touring’.
This ‘Step by Step Guide’ will see Young recounting how King Parrot managed to rise so quickly in the global metal community and how they continue to maintain and build the band in an increasingly competitive and crowded contemporary music industry.
Organisers promise those who tune in to this free lecture will get to learn some of the “key techniques and strategies [Young] has employed to ensure King Parrot’s place on the international touring circuit” and he’ll no doubt spin a few top-notch yarns as well.
The webinar is perfect for artists looking to make the transition from a hobby band to a serious touring outfit or even musicians who’ve been at it for a while, but feel like they’re stuck in a rut and want to take their careers to the next level.
