This coming Tuesday we'll be tackling Social Media and Band Awareness. Social Media is a blessing and a curse upon all musicians. Yes, everyone loves to share a hot photo of themselves up on the big stage, but nailing your socials can really start to feel like a job when you have merch, shows, releases, and more to promote. Moreover, most artists are flying blind. Our next Underproof Workshop is aimed at emerging bands who need a helping hand when it comes to Social Media and Band Awareness. Get in the know! The episode features Happy Mag's Managing Director Radi Safi with Music Editor Tom Cameron leading the chat. Tyler Bell from The Sauce, who creates social content and also acts as tour manager to Ocean Alley, will also be phoning in to drop some knowledge.

Lime Cordiale will also be making a special appearance to chat about how they lay down demos in their home. Demos are an essential part of any musician's creative process. You need demos to solicit feedback from mates and professionals, to send around to your band in order to finalise your tracks, and so much more. But how do you actually record them? We're here to answer all your questions. In the next of our Underproof Workshops, we'll be covering everything you need to know about Demoing and Recording at Home. Topics we've already covered include Releasing and Promoting Independently and Marketing 101, and next Tuesday it'll be all things Demoing and Recording at Home. Find out how to record in a home setting, what kind of gear you'll need, and the essentials around how best to attack the demoing process from a creative standpoint.
