when i was in a band, i put together press kits. which basically consisted of a demo cd, a sticker, and some contact and general information about our band. we sent them out to tons of music stations and walked around at different festivals promoting. it worked like a charm

have u tried advertising in the publican?? that could help u get ur bands off to a good start...only prob with pubs getting live bands is the licence it costs an arm and a leg (apparently no more than 2 people are aloud to sing or dance in a pub) because if u do u have to have a license stupid i know but its the gouvenment.......good luck

Don't pretend to be them. That could get you into some trouble. \nHowever, if you were to set it up as a tribute site, that is different. You can list as much info as you want about them, but be sure to put SOMEWHERE on the page that its a tribute page and you are NOT trying to be them.\nAlso, don't allow the music to be downloadable unless you KNOW for a fact the band is ok with free distribution. (Example: A Metallica fan site doing this would be a VERY BAD IDEA.)

Surely you have some bars or community centers around there, don't you? How bout promoting your own show so you can let everyone know that you exist? ♫♪♫

There are many musicians with pages there. You can add them to your friend's list and actually read their blogs. I go there because of that. Honestly, xanga.com is the best one of all to use.

Definitely check out Purevolume.com.  I think Purevolume is probably the most popular site for bands to put up music for download and streaming, at the moment.  If you have a heavy band, then perhaps check out hxcmp3.com.  They get quite a bit of hits, as well.  Both are pretty legit sites, from what I have seen from using their services.\nMajor record labels never want unpublished material submitted to them independently, of your own accord.  The larger labels usually want a manager or a lawyer to submit your music for you.  Some independent and underground labels, though, are sometimes cool about receiving demos and such.  However, keep in mind that they probably get hundreds or thousands of submissions.  Many "smaller" labels do not accept unsolicited demos, like Lookout Records.\nOne way would be to get friendly with a band you really like, and hand them a demo and ask them to listen to it.  Or, you can "accidentally" leave it for them.  Numerous bands have been signed this way, rare as it may seem to happen.  Check out different independent record label sites; each label usually has their own submission requirements.  You can always release your own album, DIY.  That is always impressive.\n\nHere's some smaller labels you can look at:\n-5RC: www.5rc.com\n-Panic Button Records: www.panicbuttonrecords.net\n-Temporary Residence Limited: www.temporaryresidence.com

CD Baby has many resources for independent musicians.  \nIt is an excellent place to market your music on line and they will help you get a bar code that you can use to sell your CD at brick and mortar retailers also.

Here is an idea that you can try:\n\nActually you could be your own Music Store/Album Label.\n\nGet yourself a website (I do design them by the way) and then host music from your local bands in the area.  Let the PEOPLE decide who is good, not some hollywood executive.\n\nThen let it grow!\n\nHolla!

Set up your own Launchcast radio station!\nhttp://uk.launch.yahoo.com/\nEnter a few of your favourite artists, and you'll be offered not only music by those artists, but by artists selected by other launchcasters who also selected your artists - so there's a good chance it will be music you favour.  If you don't like it, skip the track...

Use the web, word of mouth, and see if local stores will let you put posters up.  Also, you can volunteer to be entertainment at charity or public events..that is good publicity.
