We Active

First Post!!

Yesterday we posted for the first time on our Instagram!

We introduced the band's logo and the band's name, we decided that we wanted to have a purple background aesthetic since the band's logo is purple. This is what our feed is going to look like so it matched their aesthetic since nowadays everyone cares about how aesthetic things look and if it doesn't match an aesthetic they don't like it. 

We informed the band of all our moves...

and they are as excited as we are!!

This is the start of everything and we hope to grow a lot more in the next few weeks this is going to be something big and hopefully, people enjoy keeping up with everything as much as we are going to!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE..................... 

HERE IS OUR FIRST BLOG POST!!!!

As you guys can see we have the purple aesthetic that we will try to match with all our posts and right now we just did a little introduction post. My partner Sofia Lander also posted the Instagram on her own Instagram story so hopefully, people begin to follow it to keep up with our content and help us grow this amazing project. Through our Instagram in the bio, we placed the band's real Instagram in also to help them grow on their account too! This project is going to benefit all of us and we can't wait to gather this experience and hopefully help this amazing band grow in their audience. 

Everyone here should go follow and like our post. We will soon be introducing the band members to Instagram and here on the blog.  Thank you for all the support and hopefully, soon we can get more content. We will keep you guys updated with everything.

Update on the Demo

Cross our Fingers!!!

So we were sorting final details with the band communicating things about our project and the due dates. However they have no official day to record their demo yet, they communicated with us that it would be soon but nothing for sure. Sofi, Gerardo, and I are crossing our fingers hoping that we can have a date soon since the project is due 4/10/22 we still have time but there is a lot we have to get working on. 

We shared our class schedule to them of everything we had to have done per week since we previously told them but didn't give them a clear visual. I sent them the class schedule for the project in order for them to be able to understand what things we have to do and for when. 

My team and I are soon going to begin working on everything that is specifically for the project:

• A promotion package for the album: must have a music video 
• A social media page promoting the band and the digipack of the album

We are soon going to start posting on our insta to get it up and running and hopefully soon we can get some exclusive backstage shots when the band records the demo but as soon as we get something will make sure to share it with you guys. Also, we want to do posts introducing the band members and what they do in the band, but these are just some ideas we are all over the place right now but on Tuesday we have class together and we will start creating posts for the Instagram and start to plan the schedule to make sure we have everything done for when it's due. 

Exclusive!

Preview

The band has been very busy this week the band has been super busy and they have not been able to get together to record the demo, however; they were able to practice the song but they are missing two members of the band.

This has been a very stressful week filled with many things to do but hopefully next week we can get more content to share with you guys.

We will be posting more soon! We are still trying to figure out the logistic behind the schedule and the idea for the video but in the next two weeks, we will begin organizing everything so we can have everything ready by the deadline. We are keeping in contact with the band in order to plan everything since we are so many it's hard to coordinate the schedules. This week we will talk to them and come up with a schedule to record the music video.

Hopefully, we will get the demo soon and hopefully you guys like this little preview the band is amazing and they are being so supportive with everything!!! We are so excited for this journey🎸

Black Cat

NEW SONG!

So our wonderful band has created a new song!!

This is the song that we will be promoting and creating the music video too.  It's called "Black Cat" the lyrics are amazing and hopefully, we can get a demo soon to share with you guys. The band has been working very hard and we were helping them as much as we can but for now, there are not many updates with the band as soon as we get any new updates or content from the band we will share it with you guys!

I am not going to share the whole lyrics because I want it to be a surprise for you guys when we get the demo but I'll give you guys a preview of the chorus.

Rock and Roll

Rock Stars!!

What is rock?

There are so many genres of music, pop, jazz, classic, hip hop, and so many more.  Rock has been around for ages but what is it really. The straight-up definition from the dictionary states, "a form of popular music that evolved from rock and roll and pop music during the mid and late 1960s. Harsher and often self-consciously more serious than its predecessors, it was initially characterized by musical experimentation and drug-related or anti-establishment lyrics." but it's a lot more than that. Rock is filled with passion and emotion that not many understand. 

Rock has evolved through time and it has developed a series of common subgenres such as punk rock or classic rock. They're all different but have the same superficial idea but are so different, except for the most common factor of the genre which is the electric guitar. Rock rather than just being a music genre is a form of expression with the passion, the emotion, the rebellion, the freedom it expresses. Many artists aspire to be able to achieve this type of connection to their genre however not many are able to achieve it.

How has it influenced society?

Since rock was shown to the world it has cause a strong impact on the way people perceive music. It caused an impact on films, fashion, and society. It has created a way for people to come together for their love of this music. For example, the event LIVE AID.  This was a charity event created to help the women in Africa. This event reached a lot of people to participate while being able to impact the world in a positive way.

 

This was one of the largest television broadcasts in 1985 and inspired many to help a community in need. All of this was done by bringing people together with something they love. It reached 19 billion people across 150 nations which was impressive for their time since the technology wasn't as well developed as it is now.

How does it influence fashion?

Rock stars have a very unique way of dressing which has influenced everyone who loves this. They created a new fashion trend called Punk fashion. It's based on jeans or leather jackets, a lot of silver jewelry, dark colors, funky hairstyles, and crazy makeup. Vivienne Westwood, Saint Laurent, Chanel, and Valentino are all designer brands that influence the rock genre and sell it to the public.

Social Media

 @pluto.theband

So we recently created Instagram for the band. Previously the band had an Instagram already created we will be working with both the Insta we created and the one they already had, however; since there are so many things that are going to be created just for the portfolio project we don't want to falsely engage their audience so we will be posting all that in our Insta. We will be using both accounts but one will be just for the media project and their account they already had created we will actually use to grow their audience.

On their Instagram that they had been working on we will be taking over from now on and we will be posting things so that their audience is constantly engaged and can keep motivated to keep on listening and following along. Then in the Instagram account that we created just for the project we will be sharing all the merch releases, the tour dates, the festivals, and all the things we wish the band can hopefully be able to do someday. 

This is their official Instagram account...

Now here is the Instagram we created for our portfolio project. We haven't posted anything yet because we haven't had the chance to post or take pictures of anything but as soon as we are able to meet with them or share any information we will post and share it with you guys. We are so excited about this! Social media accounts will be our greatest communication form and the best way to share with their fans everything that's happening. This is going to be the way for them to keep up with the band and learn about anything new. This is our main way of communication with their fans since they are aiming to attract a younger audience. 

Here is the Instagram that we created for the Portfolio Project...

Here we will be posting all the information and updates of the band. Hope you guys enjoy it and remember to follow all the accounts to be kept up with everything!

Its official!!!

Project Pluto

It's official!! We have decided that we are going to work with the band named Pluto. We are all very excited and looking forward to beginning this journey together. We want to help this band grow to its full potential, we are going to help them grow in their followers, their social media, and increase their listeners. My group and I aren't only doing this for our project but we are also very intrigued in getting that real-life experience of working alongside an artist.

We recently created a WhatsApp group chat to ease communication since we are so many it will be easier to communicate all together through a group chat to be able to facilitate the planning process and be able to coordinate everyone's schedule. This Saturday the band is going to go and record their demo for their new song and hopefully we get to listen to it soon and be able to share it with you guys. We are going to try our best to get some behind the scene shots to share with everyone.

The band is so excited to work together and they are looking forward to this journey too. I can't wait to be able to share more pictures and the scene process of everything we will be doing. This is going to be a long and consuming journey but we will make it worth the while. We are going to make it fun and we are going to make sure to involve all of u guys through everything. We will soon be sharing their social media profiles so that all of you guys can follow them and keep up with all the exciting news and new releases that we will be doing. My group and I will begin working on brainstorming ideas and when we have any rough drafts we will share them, we are waiting to get more information on the song and hopefully soon be able to hear it. Make sure to keep up with everything and enjoy this process with all of us!
