group biography, cd release information, upcoming gig information, "press ready" promotional information
contact information, booking agent information, label information
previous gig/cd reviews from noted reviewers
advertisements or poster artwork
stickers or other band give-away "schwag"
a dvd sounds logical, but keep it short and sweet
internet/web presence information
email contact info
in the olden-days...bands such as the Ventures and Dick Dale even had "canned" open-ended-live-interview-responses...local dj's could "interview" the Ventures and then play their responses off of a record. It would be kind of cool to provide an "open-ended" dj interview in a press kit...now that would be vintage surf!
