2009-09-16 01:11:21 Explosion Productions - is an independent production company and based in Santa Cruz, helping bands integrate into the Cali music scene, and founded by Jesse West and Chris Coffman in 2004. Since then we have organized many concerts, quite a few large events, and one tour. Our goal is to make it easier for Califonia based bands to make a name for themselves in and outside of the Bay Area, by organizing concerts and promoting them. Here are some of the bands we have been working with: North Swell, Josh Fox, Hope & Aria, Jonathan Stowers, Jesse West, Synonyms For Silence , Matt Masih and the Messengers, Dave Matsumura and Kokua, Travis Oberg and the Saltwater Merchants to name a few. In the future the plan is to expand to more cities across the United States with more bands and venues, so stay tuned for news mentioned on the homepage.
EP currently has a collective group of artists who are hitting the scene hard and representing things that actually matter. EP promotes bands that have something IMPORTANT to say, and have a passion for people. EP has to date raised several thousand dollars for Invisible Children and roughly $2500 for World Vision, and we are fully behind the mission to support these incredible movements. These organizations are all one in the same, at the heart of it they are spreading the belief that love and compassion above all else will rise above depravity.
Explosion Productions is also hard at work in and around the local community. There is a lot of need within our hometown of Santa Cruz, and EP is taking the time to recognize and promote ways to make a positive difference! Non-profits such as Apples and Bandaids, Vintage Faith Church, Elm Stree Rescue Mission, and The Core are just a few of the local organizations we support. EP organizes events, concerts, and festivals to raise funds, awareness, and to give back and help where we can! —70.143.73.137

Networking The Artist Community-
EP believes that the artists will be inspired to write great music as they are in community with other artists who are changing lives around them in a positive way. EP strives to connect artists together so that they can be inspired to compose and produce the kind of music that sounds great and connects with its audience. We are excited about networking artists up with the kind of people who actually know what they are doing. People who are not telling you what to do based on what the newest "indie music" manuel says, but people who have given their lives to the exploration of getting their music out to the masses. For instance, where do we go in the new digital era of music that has everyone scrambling for the newest way to get their music to the ears of listeners around the world? We believe that we are on to something that EVERY artist who is connected would benefit from.
Taking Your Product From Idea To Reality-
EP can put you on the cutting edge of the industry taking your music to the next level. We are interested in getting YOUR music to the ears of listeners so it can do what it was meant to do. The EP crew includes everything needed in the studio (recording, engineering, mastering), distributing your product to worldwide listeners, Merchandising your product (shirts, stickers, patches, ect.) designing a quality marketable image (web design, product branding, logo design)
Business Development and Consultation-
Working with you to develop a business plan, draft up articles of agreement (or articles of incorporation); establishing your business identity is one of our main goals. We assist in setting up the business end of your band and set you onto a professional path and help you to establish your band. Copyright protection, trademark law, business type, finding an accountant, finding a lawyer, insuring your business and your equipment ... all of this is part of the business development process. —70.143.73.137
