Re:Namuto Press Vol. 1 Issue 1.

The debut issue of Namuto Press is being released this week from The
National Musicians Touring Network. The publication deals with the
independent and DIY (Do it Yourself) sector of the music business. It is
designed as a tool and communication service for independents- musicians,
clubs, labels, management, booking, distribution,
recording services, agencies, recorded music retail outlets, and all of
the other 'indie' aspects of the business.

The trade publication includes listings from it's popular "Gig SwaP"
project, coverage of the touring networks' "Bestest Band In The Land
Contest", artist profiles, club and venue profiles, business listings,
news that affects the independent, and how-to hints on building a career,
setting up tours,and a slew of independent resources for the aspiring.

Namuto Press encourages the submission of press/promo kits and recordings
as well as press releases. According to Editor, and long time musician
Jeff Yost "It is a platform for promotion and communication within this
particular industry segment, and should be an ongoing and growing database
of resources for those of us that work in the independent community".

Yost refers to the debut as the 'prototype'. "It's black and white,
there's no advertising, and we kept the artwork to a minimum for this
issue. It's just crammed with information and contacts". Namuto Press will
be published every other month for the first year.

The single issue retail price is $5.95 in the USA and $6.95 in Canada.
Subscriptions run $24 in the US and $36 elsewhere. Any one wishing to
carry or distribute Namuto Press should contact Jeff Yost through the
