there is a ton of info out there on how to promote yourself as a musician.....anyone have any examples of how to put together a press kit as a label representing several artists?

Not really, but my thoughts would be to have a ton of credibility. The bands you would have, what do people have to say about them?
What review can a venue give where they have played?
What press have they had that's worth noting?
What is the common link between all the bands you would have?
I'm sure it's tough to weed through all the generic bullshit that anyone could say... It was horrible trying to write the bio for my band because it all just sounds so lame, I mean, when trying to describe yourself. I'll be glad when we've gotten some reviews and can go off what others have said instead of ourselves. But we'll always promise to blow your mind or at least try to.

see thats for one band...... this is for many artists..... 3 specifically ....and they have 2 albums a piece.....going on 3...

Then what I said makes sense, right? Look at those questions - that's all stuff you could put in a press kit, essentially bios of the band and what they have in common as to the goal of your label.
