Episode 152: AVOID Is the Ultimate Opportunist

Benny from AVOID shows up to the podcast and the energy level is turned up to 11 on this one. Benny gives you a perspective with how the music industry has been impacted by Covid due to his background as a musician, promoter, agent, venue worker, and show creator. Then Benny shares stories about how the band was able to get Song About James on the Sirius XM Octane BigUns countdown, how they snuck in to Warped Tour and played for 3 days in 2018, and how taking those opportunities will help set you up for success, both as a band and in your personal life.   Find AVOID Online: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AVOIDKicksAss Twitter: https://twitter.com/AVOIDKICKSASS Twitter (Benny): https://twitter.com/BennyScholl Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avoidkicksass/ Instagram (Benny): https://www.instagram.com/benny.scholl/ YouTube (Revival Recordings): https://www.youtube.com/user/Revivalrecs Website: https://avoidkicksass.org Merch: https://avoidkicksass.org/collections/all Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7rZJ1D1ERxrHNKTWwpZFVU?si=6tW8oSuFRYS3YrZtI7vYRQ Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/avoid/1324772585   Follow us on social media!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msotdrocks   Twitter: https://twitter.com/msotd_rocks   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msotd_rocks/   YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCqRKZCDMcFHIYbJaLQMfDbQ   Chord Progression Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/53XWPGrIUvgavKF5Fm6SLk   Chord Progression Podcast (Apple Podcast): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chord-progression/id1454876657   Chord Progression Podcast (Google Play) https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Iul7lhuwpd3aiowdvt5sdnquxh4?t%3DChord_Progression%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16   Chord Progression Podcast (iHeart Radio): https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-chord-progression-70632531/   Podcast Webpage: https://mysongoftheday.com/my-song-of-the-day-rock-2000-today/chord-progression-podcast/
