While The Original Indie Band Survival Guide is still available online at the above link. This book is not a tease and buy program where they seed you with enough to get your interest and then tell you that you now need to purchase something to get the rest of the information you desire. The authors have acquired information and tools through actual practice and are sharing that information with the reader.

To further support the book (free or purchased), the authors have a discussion forum and their own blog. These additional resources supplement the book as well as illustrating how the authors and others have benefitted from the material.

The step-by-step guide will be beneficial to bands just starting out as well as to well established bands that are always trying to get a better edge for their market. The book covers Creating and Recording, Making CDs and Merchandise, Getting on the Web, Getting your Music Sold, Playing Live, Getting Heard, Getting Publicity and the Legal aspects of the business.

This handy reference is built upon the concept of building and sharing where others can contribute to make the information more useful, current and relevant. That is the foundation of the Open movement. As other bands learn and contribute, the project will continue to grow and benefit other bands that in turn can contribute their knowledge so even more bands may benefit and contribute. In this way, the project can help an entire future generation of artists as the music industry continues to evolve in the new digital era.
