Sudden Success Promotion Tourbegleitung Jo Snyder Auf Tour vom 11.03. - 05.04.2010. Booking: the company with the golden arm> Some kind of introduction... After my exitement about an Instigators gig, i joined the JUZI concertgroup in Göttingen from 1987 till 1995, organising gigs for eg.: Gray Matter, Sticks and Stones, Verbal Assault, Jingo De Lunch etc. pp. and had been on the road with eg.: the Van Pelt and others as driver/merchman. I've also been involved in the organisation of bigger festivals as "rock against racism" with No Means No, D.O.A. etc. Besides that, i’ve been playing in Bands all the time, my momentary band is called Katzenstreik / www.myspace.com/katzenstrike where i'm playing bass for, booking shows, been massively involved in the "productions" of our 4 Album-releases and doing some promo. I worked as a gardener for about 10 years, but in case my back got worse, i started a second development in 2004 ("businessman for audiovisual media") in Hamburg at Queenaboutmusic, where i worked for about 13 months(the other part of the development was going to school for 6 months). The biggest part of my work there, was to promote the releases of the danish record Label Crunchy Frog (queenaboutmusic is their german base). Bands i did press-, radio-, online, tour- and TV promotion for, included eg.: Heavy Trash (Jon Spencer's 2nd band), Junior Senior and Epo555. This work, besides of other aspects, also included the communication between label, distributor, booker and band members. I also did some tourmanagement for the danish band Tiger Tunes last year at the PopKomm fair i coordinated the press-, radio- and TV interview schedules at the big "denmark at popkomm" showcase with www.carparknorth.dk, www.diefenbach.dk, www.kashmir.dk and www.themovement.dk. In case the job situation in the music business is quite disappointing (you can work there and do practical training for few, or no money, but there are not many real jobs to find), i started doing my own thing.
