We want to give Grant Griffiths a shout out for taking time out of his busy schedule to do our 2012 Promo Shoot. Grant took us out to a sand/rock quarry in Sun Prairie Wisconsin for part of the shoot.  We couldn’t have asked for better weather conditions in March in Wisconsin!

It was an unbelievably warm day with a record high of 80 degrees and strong southern warm winds!

We were able to use the wind to our advantage, as you can see from all of the wind blown hair shots. We’re happy with the results and now have some great shots to choose from. The rest of the album is uploaded to our Facebook page.

Let us know what you think of the shoot and if you’re so inclined to: info AT sensuousenemy DOT com.

We all know someone or a relative of someone who has fought cancer and either survived it or didn’t.  For those who beat it, after enduring chemotherapy, radiation and a host of other torturous treatments, there is always the question in the mind of the cancer survivor…will it come back again?  Cancer is a disease that affects all of us in one way or another.  It’s especially difficult to swallow when it happens to someone who has made such a positive humanitarian social impact.

Electronic/Industrial/Rock music scene promoter, DJ and Rein[Forced] frontman, Jim Semonik is the brains behind the Electronic Saviors compilations. Jim survived stage 2B colorectal cancer in 2008, and then created one of the most successful compilations with 83 musicians, presented in a lovely 8 panel digipak with 16 page booklet titled Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer.  This project raised over 20K for Charities.

This new release,  Electronic Saviors 2: Recurrence,  includes 142 artists from all over the world with exclusive tracks from Wisconsin’s very own Sensuous Enemy,  The Dark Clan, Caustic and Null Device,  along with bands Covenant, I:Scintilla, The Gothsicles, God Module, System Syn, Project Pitchfork, Rein[Forced], 16Volt, Ayria, XuberX, Ego Likness, The Azoic, Bella Morte and many more . This incredible project includes beautiful and insightful artwork from Jeff Confer and Samantha Johnson.  The boxed set will be released on May 8th and can be pre-ordered from Metropolis.

“Jim dedicates this body of work to all who have suffered with cancer as well as survivors and loved ones touched by the disease.”

Tips on How to Pack Your Live Shows and Support Your Local Scene!

Here is a really good article by Bob Baker, who is the author of “Guerrilla Music Marketing Online,” Berkleemusic’s “Music Marketing 101” course, and many other books and promotion resources for DIY artists, managers and music biz pros.

1. Support local businesses who are willing to support you, by building relationships and doing cross promotions with them.

2. Support local artists by promoting their shows, offering to hang fliers and post updates about their shows online.

3. Support other bands by purchasing a ticket,  attending their shows, and standing in the audience during their performance

“Relationships are what lay the foundation for a thriving music career. You need to nurture and build them slowly and genuinely.” says Bob Baker.

These seem like simple steps to us, and for the most part we try to follow them.  We even tag team shows in town when one of us is unable to make it, so we make sure one of the members from Sensuous Enemy is in attendance.  We make every effort to be their for our band friends and try to support them as much as we can.  If we don’t support them, then why would we ever expect them to support us.  Maybe they will, maybe the won’t, but at least we’ll know we did our best to help keep music alive and active in Madison!

Hey all our band friends, we found this course on our reverbnation twitter feed today by Cheryl B. Engelhardt, who just released a course titled  “In The Key Of Success: The 5 Week Jump- Start Strategy,”  Its an eCourse about licensing success in seven easy steps, and she’s got some pretty cool music too!

Because Sensuous Enemy is a Reverb Nation artist, we get a ridiculous 70% discount off the normal selling price by typing in REVERBN8TION when we go to her site here: http://www.cbemusic.com/ecourse.  If you’re on ReverbNation and interested, it looks like it might be worth a couple of hours to check it out…or not, if you already know this stuff.
