When your head's a little muddy after the weekend it's nice to read of an approach to band booking and band promotion that isn't complicated.
I came across a very simple little post which reduced the "art" of band promotion (without band management) to 2 key actions.
1.Get Your Music in Front of People
No point sitting in the bedroom waiting to be discovered. You need to get started initially looking for local events where your band can play. Do whatever you need to do to get people to know your name. This means band bookings and lots of them. You need to make sure you hand out flyers with your contact details (website, Facebook,Myspace,Twitter page, Youtube etc).
On these flyers you might want to state your availability for private functions and you can even offer a discount (with limited time period) for anyone mentioning the flyer and where they got it - when they contact you to book your band.
2. Create and Interact with your fans online
Start with your friends and be you can be pretty sure that their friends will over time notice and start adding you. This can work wonders for gig crowd numbers if you manage it in the right way. Commit to working on building your fanbase on it every day. If you goals are loftier than than plenty of band bookings, once you go international with your fanbase members it can only help you secure band management or a deal too.
