Billboard Publicity Wire:

As of June 1, 2008, The Billions Corporation and Aero Booking will begin operations as one organization with primary offices in both Chicago and Seattle and a total of seven agents.

Chicago-headquartered Billions, with existing agents also based in Seattle, WA and Bloomington, IN, 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 founder and owner Trey Many explains, “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.”

Billions founder and president David T. Viecelli adds, “We are positively thrilled to welcome Trey and Andrew to our family. The forthright and honest nature of Trey’s personal commitment to his artists has always placed him among the very best agents working today. I’m proud that he has recognized a similar approach and creative energy in our company and chosen to join us. We are all the better for it.”
