Indie booking agencies The Billions Corporation and Aero Booking have announced their merger and will combine their artist rosters and begin operating as one entity with offices in both Chicago and Seattle on June 1, 2008.
Chicago-headquartered Billions is celebrating its twentieth year of operation. Among its exclusive clients are The Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Sufjan Stevens, Vampire Weekend, Neko Case, Silversun Pickups and Oscar-winning duo The Swell Season.
Seattle-based Aero Booking, in its tenth year, exclusively represents, among others, platinum-selling Death Cab For Cutie, The Postal Service, David Bazan, Midlake, Beach House, Bodies of Water and Bowerbirds.
Aero Booking founder and owner Trey Many comments, “Throughout the ten years that I’ve spent building Aero Booking, I’ve been an admirer of the way Billions does business. The more I’ve come to know the people in their organization, the clearer it has become to me that we need to work together. We are very excited to merge our company with theirs and to collaborate in an official capacity.”
While the merger will not be effective until June 1, 2008, Aero Booking will move into the new Billions offices in Seattle in May while continuing to do business as a separate entity until that effective date.
