Musicians Institute is preparing to launch an exclusive new club booking service for students. Each quarter, four bands will be booked into notable LA performance venues. To qualify, bands must be made up entirely of currently enrolled students and meet certain other requirements. MI’s Artist and Career Services Department will guarantee the club’s minimum ticket sales and if the band sells over 50 tickets through their own promotional efforts they get to keep the additional money. The first show is tentatively booked at the Viper Room for late November; for more information, contact Director of Artist and Career Services Todd Berhorst (323) 860-1118.
