We have started a surf band here in Denver Colorado and we have
played out around 7 times mostly partys.
We have some great offers coming up playing at a casino in Central
City and opening for some really established local crews.
My question goes out to the bands that have been out,played alot
and are established.
What have you done to protect your band name?
Also , what kind of contract do you have with wherever or whoever
your playing with.
1 more. Where do you look for some Go Go girls.
Any help would be great from anyone.........Thanks , Maui
Maui,
Can you put me on a fans' list? I'd like to see the band when you
have a gig I can make.

I had the opportunity lately to talk to a lawyer in the music industry and had
the same
question for him. He said it's a bit "stickier" than copyrighting a song. The
best way
(without a lawyer) is to go to the Federal Registry online and look for the
forms for a
trademark. The only real guarantee is to go throught the Federal Registry,
websites
can claim a lot, but to really hold up in court, they are not a guarantee.
Bottomline, "it's a pain in the arse".
I was a bit daunted after talking to him and hiring a lawyer is out of the
question for
me. Arggghhhhh....paperwork!
Good luck!
