TESTIMONIALS

"Liz is one of the only people I trust in the music industry. Period. She's as straight-up as they come, works hard, and doesn't promise things she can't deliver. It's hard to quantify the work that radio and PR people do, so it's nice to feel like -- in this case -- my money was well-spent. Gracias Miz Liz!"

"The decision to choose Liz and Notorious Radio to bring Nationwide attention about Pinhead has been very positive. Liz's steadfast approach has brought our music to the masses successfully. Since the radio promotion, we have received opportunities to tour and we believe successful next steps toward signing. Kudos to Liz!"

"Liz is the best! We were a little shaky with the genre style and we worried it would be hard for anyone to pull off -- but not for one second did Liz show us it couldn't be done. And the results were instant and so much better than what we had in mind! Way to go Notorious, knock 'em dead :)"

"We are tremendously pleased with Liz's work. Within a matter of a few short weeks our debut album FIRE IN THE SKY began playing at more than 50 stations around the country. Over the past few months we reached several top 10 lists, singles charts, album charts and had the opportunity to hit number one on 3WK, a veteran internet radio station. From College Radio to Clear Channel stations to the online world, Liz has the scope and vision to push your music places it may never see otherwise. With the music business still grappling with the new era of diminished profits and confusion, don't sit around and wait for something to change, take it into your hands and be heard."

"I think Liz must have some kind of 6th sense à la John Peel about music, or she spends a lot of time choosing the right stuff. Probably both, actually. Everything she suggests for airplay is just plain top-notch."

“We were pretty psyched when Liz came on board for a priority project we had planned to release just after the New Year. We honestly weren’t sure how radio was going to react to the extremely quirky and eclectic sounds of Seedy Gonzales, and yet Liz was confident. While we were biting our nails, Liz got much love and respect from her radio colleagues, charting Top 10 in both album and singles specialty radio charts for over 4 weeks! Phenomenal.”

"Liz is amazing!!! As far as the team we assembled for the release of our record, Liz would certainly win the Most Valuable Player. She's hard working, thorough and gets amazing results. We can't say enough good things about her and what she's done for us!"

“Liz is a MOTHERFUCKER! She’ll push your record straight to hell!” to quote a radio promoter I had a drink with recently. Liz is well-known and well-respected by the djs and her peers in the industry, which talking to people at music conferences/festivals in the past few weeks confirmed. While Liz worked our record, our single rose steadily up the charts, with three weeks in the Top 25 and ending in the Top 10. Station djs are trying to get us to play shows in their markets, we’ve been added to festivals...Definitely recommended. "

"Notorious rocks! I can tell you from experience. If you have a good song, L.I.Z. will take it to the top of the charts!!!"

"I first met Notorious L.I.Z. over 8 years ago when she was working for Tommy Boy, working the likes of Everlast, JoyDrop, Sneaker Pimps, etc. She now runs her own promotion company and is a huge supporter of small indie and unsigned artists. I know for a fact she has helped a lot of bands for way too little payment, just to get them noticed. She lives in NY, sees a lot of shows, listens to TONS of demos, and is one of the strongest supporters of indie artist I know. With this much experience, coupled with THAT much passion, and band who she thinks has what it takes is definitely in good hands."

"Notorious L.I.Z. was the "real deal" when it came to getting spins & feedback for our project at Specialty. She came highly recommended from a very respected source at Radio and she more than delivered the "goods". She's a total pro, with a tenacity that's second to none when working a project. I highly recommend her, especially to indie bands that normally wouldn't get the kind of exposure at Radio that she can deliver."

"I am very pessimistic about "services" that people offer up to indie bands and
artists. I have been approached by dozens of people who make offers that
seem to be nothing more than a way of making a buck off of unsuspecting and
eager artist. Liz and Notorious Radio are most definitely not one of those "services". Liz is a real industry professional who accomplishes exactly what she sets out to do. Before Liz, the thought of getting radio play for an Unsigned, independent band was a joke to me. I had no idea that what she accomplishes was even possible. Because of Liz, we were played in radio markets across the county.....and we consistently made Specialty radio charts. Notoroius Radio brought us accomplishments in 6 weeks that would have, quite possibly, never achieved on our own. I highly recommend Liz and Notorious Radio to any band....it truly can open a lot of doors. Thanks Liz!"

"Given the state of radio, our band wouldn't have considered radio promotion in 8 hundred billion years. And then Liz called. The next thing I knew we were cracking the top 15 at specialty radio. Liz is definitely not a cog in the rusty (yet oily) machine,
servicing whatever tripe du jour people throw at her. She has her own vision and her own tastes, and works hard w/artists she believes in, regardless of trends. She sought us out on her own and then produced impressive, unexpected results. She's thorough and extremely accessible. With more Liz's around, the Independent music world would be much better off. Viva Notorious!"

"Endochine has been 'DIY' for two years and extremely sensitive about adding new people to our 'team'. I had recommendations to contact 'Notorious Liz' from several
trusted sources and they were spot on - I never expected we would be Top 20 on all of the Specialty Charts in our first week, let alone as high as #6 and featured in trades like R&R!!! Liz is a top notch pro, both with the task at hand and as a person - she
is always responsive, always accessible and most importantly, always going 'heart first' into the project. We couldn't be happier to have her as part of the 'Endochine family'."

"Liz and the Notorious crew can only be described as 'Hustlers' and that is meant in the most respectful way. The Pieces garnered numerous specialty spins that resulted in sales in key markets for us. Plus having the band charting at all the trades leading into our AAA campaign only helped fuel the fire. And after talking with some of the show hosts, Liz is one of the most respected indies in the game."

"Notorious Liz f-n' rocks -- forward & to the point! She's very accessible, willing to talk via tele anytime, and extremely hardworking. I would have never considered radio-play for 'shade', until I met Liz --- if she really believes in a record, she throw it all out there for it. And the contacts we've made thus far from Liz's hard-work, I can't thank her enough. I plan to hire Liz for our next EP if she'll take it. And most importantly, Liz is just cool!"

"Liz is amazing. If she's working it, she believes in it and just might kick someone's ass to make sure the music is heard. I have gotten consistent spins since working with Liz on such stations as KDGE in Dallas and KNOE in Monroe, LA. These stations and tons of other industry folks took notice of my chart success on specialty shows...a result of Liz's hard work. She rocks and I appreciate that."

"Liz Koch and Notorious Radio are the real fucking deal. If there is music to be heard, Notorious gets it done. Honesty, precision, and individual attention were the qualities I sought for the promotion of "Bang" by Green Rode Shotgun, and I found all of the above in Liz and Notorious Radio"

"Coming from a label background helps Liz to see the big picture which helps bands both large & small. Her tenacious yet honest demeanor have opened many doors for projects I've put her on & I'd be glad to hire her again!"

-Tom Smith, Sr. Director of Promotion, Spitfire/EagleRock Records

"Liz is beyond awesome. She kept the band up-to-date, was honest and incredibly thorough. Her weekly reports were very detailed. She believed in our record and got brilliant results. Plus, she's just cool."

"L.I.Z. and Notorious did a stellar job of promoting Johnny Socko to Specialty Radio. I have already contracted L.I.Z. to promote my next band, Small Town Sleeper, and will be hiring her again in the future whenever possible."

"Liz is a breath of fresh air! She constantly thinks outside the box and has shown tremendous faith and passion for this project. Her hard work has given The Waking Hours incredible exposure and introduced their music to the gatekeepers and the DJ's/Program Directors we would have ordinarily just dreamed would like this music, assuming it'd take a record deal to get their attention. Through Liz however, having our music find their ears is a reality. And they play it, and Liz hounds them to keep playing it and to keep them honest and focused on the love of the band's music. As a manager, I totally appreciate her accessibility, her customized weekly reports, and the fact that she'll go above and beyond without hesitation. Any questions I have or ideas I run by her are addressed immediately and thoroughly. She isn't just a hired gun, she's become part of the team. Liz often offers to stray from her defined role and sees her work as more than just servicing radio, harassing programmers, and issuing reports - instead she'll look at the big picture and the CAREER of this band... a very welcome perk of working with the Notorious L.I.Z."

"The opportunity to work with Liz on our "Hovercraft LP" has been outstanding. In an industry plagued by flaky, emotionless individuals who drain the optimistic dollar of unknown bands without result, Liz stands out as a rare gem. She truly believes in the bands she works with, and this enthusiasm shines through in her dealings in the perilous world of Major Radio. Her knowledge, follow-through, and finesse have aided us tremendously in getting our music heard all over the US and generating a buzz in the industry. I can't wait to do it again next time!"
