Music Monitor Network convenes twice a year, once at the annual NARM meeting and again at a separate Music Monitor Network Convention and Creative Conference, called Noise in the Basement, which is held in Baltimore, MD in September.
Music Monitor Network was formed in June of 1997 to benefit both mid-sized independently owned music retailers and record labels/distributors. As retailers with 2 to 30 stores, Network account chains are large enough to deal direct with the major labels and are considered to be very important accounts in terms of breaking artists. By combining the marketing efforts of mid-sized chains across the country, the Music Monitor Network allows labels to save time and money by enjoying economies of scale in the execution of innovative promotional/advertising campaigns.
