About Famous: Stage I, from BoardGameGeek:

Now available Electriclute.com You are a dreamer - with a fire in your heart and a melody in your head. Posters obscure your bedroom walls, and vinyl records cover the floor. But you have a plan to complement that dream. With the local studio booked a mere 12 weeks from now, you'll have to hustle... 'Famous: Stage I' is a theme-first strategy adventure for 1-4 players. Every element of the game makes thematic sense - as you spend your precious Hours managing your Band's personnel, bookings, services, songwriting, rehearsal, equipment, supporters, and promotion. If you spend your resources wisely, seize opportunities at the right moments, and keep an eye on the big picture, you will become the most famous player at the table! Prepare your Band over twelve rounds (“Weeks”) by collecting the best Song cards, upgrading your Musicians' Skill, earning Cash at Gigs and with Merch, pursuing rewarding Prospects, hiring powerful Services, and achieving your Musicians' individual Personality goals. And although some of it will derive from this main stage of the game, approximately 75% your Fame (the game's Victory Points) will come from the end-game scoring “Finale” - wherein your well-laid plans will finally pay off!
