Ideas on how to tell people that your band exists
Monday, July 13th, 2009You have to try and set yourself apart from the sea of other bands that are out there, also wanting to be heard. Here are some ideas to getting people to know about you.
- Artwork -One idea is to take what is already being done, and try to do something alittle different, or at least an original take about what is going on. When Cannibal corpse came out with their ultra-gory album covers, its success ensured that every other band started using gory images. Making your artwokr alittle different from the other bands of a similar sound will help you to stand out.
- The internet.The world wide web has benefitted bands greatly -alot of interent stuff can be done for cheap for even by yourselves if somehow has the no-how. gigs can be promoting on social networking profiles and forums, you can have a website for the band, contact fans and music industry contacts via email.
- Image. Most bands believe that the music is more important than your looks, sadly its a mixture between the two. So some bands have a image/ gimmick -Slipknot wear masks to hide their faces, GWAR wear costumes and claim to come from an alien planet, so image can help sell your band to people.
- Letting people know about your gigs. The more people who know you are playing a gig, the more chance their is that more people will come down. Do everything you can, on and offline to try and get people out there -develop a mailing list to let people know, print flyers and posters and go to town and stick them out, hand them out. Because if know one knows about the gig no-one is gonna come down.
