Bands Best Friend - 24/7 Rock Star Service

Sick and tired of only seeing the inside of hotel rooms and bars when you are on tour?

Often when bands come to Scandinavia on tour they don't have the contact network or knowledge they need about the cities they are touring. You spend most of your time in your hotel room, and never get to explore the many sides of these cities of culture. Even if you are lucky enough to have a good road manager, the odds for him or her being an expert on Scandinavia, are slim...and that's where we can help!

We are her to try to make your dreams on tour come true. Our job is to take your tour to the next level, and make sure that you have the time of your life.

No matter what you want we will try to fix it - a private afterparty, a guided tour of attractions, a personal shopper to help you out or maybe just a home cooked meal - we are the people to talk to!

Does your band want discounts on major hotel chains, car rental and other tour related expenses?

We have negotiated tons of great benefits and discounts on behalf of our clients, on everything from music equipment, earplugs, pizza to car rental and hotels.

So if you are planning on going on a tour or holiday in Scandinavia let us know and you will save loads of money!!!>

As a registered client you will receive our "FirstAid-Kit" - an e-mail with a pamphlet that includes all our discount access codes, plus other cool stuff you will need to survive as a musician in some of the worlds most expensive countries.

What about getting sold out shows and the media attention your band really deserves?

One thing we used to experience repeatedly while working with bands touring in Scandinavia was that they often did not get the media attention they deserved.

On top of this the lack of posters, event guides, promotion and press announcing the shows in advance often led to a shortcoming in the ticket sales.

For an example Oslo being the city with the most live shows in northern Europe, makes it easy for concerts to "get lost" in all the options- no matter how big your band name is.

So after great success with Bands Best Friend for several years we decided to open a PR office in Oslo in 2007.

We hired several well-known PR people with a long track record in the world of music promotion in Scandinavia.

We can now offer everything from pre promotion of your shows / releases, putting up a pressrun while you are here to plastering the city with your posters or team up with your record label so you get the buzz your band deserve.

We have great references both from norwegian and international clients. Our portfolio consists of names like:

Little Steven
Renegade Nation, NY
Norwegian Folk Grammys
Grappa / Ta:lik (two of Scandinavias biggest Folk labels)
Wicked Cool Records, US
and tons of famous bands and festivals

We also joined forces with Miss Fixit Photography - in 2010 and therefore offer concert, tour and festival photographers.

So now all your PR and photo needs will be taken care of by the best in the business.

We also offer a broad range of more conventional services directed at bands touring in Scandinavia - everything from personal trainers, after party planners, tour guides and personal shoppers, to road mangers, medic's and legal help.

Skeptical…? We have great references!
