He's too busy running his own business, a booking agency that provides talent to clubs and parties throughout the Southeast.

Instead, Curran promotes a band | on a show-to-show basis. Using his computer's data base, he matches clubs' openings with bands' opening dates and tries to get the best fit "The clubs tell me what kind of music they want and price range, < and I'll see which groups are available," he said.

"No one else in the industry is Joing it," he said. "We plan to have all our acts on tape, and the :lub owner can scan through it and lecide what group he wants." Patrick Harmon of Newton Minnow, one of the bands being taped, believes Curran to be an efficient, imaginative manager. "1 have the utmost confidence in Alex," he said. "This is a novel promotional idea." Curran employed several USC media arts majors to help produces the video. One of them, senior Ali Koleszar, said the experience was great and might have changed hef career plans. I was gonna do lighting and production for a news show, but now I might want to do music videos," she said. Curran changed his career plans, too. He was planning to be a stock; broker until a band member friend of his asked him to help out on the financial side of the business. His company is the outgrowth of that initial counseling. "I'm in this for good, all my ; money's tied up in it and I enjoy it," he said. "I like helping the bands and seeing them grow." ie. . ter Loan* call itative. ^ r best? W, ( ? t ? V' my Corporation.
