well i have a band, and what im doing and thought of doing was this:
try to get a new singer,
then decide on a name when are official members are together
then work on single album
then record
then music vid a song
then get a photoshoot
create accounts on many social sharing sites(youtube,facebook, etc.) and official website
for youtube work on band covers to gain publicity
once gained enough, debut the single album with promo
get gigs, tour with bigger bands to expand fanbase
distribute originals online and locally, selling merchandise at gigs
work on an EP and promote
then contact guitarist’s uncle to contact his label to check us out
distribute originals to record labels
tell me if im doing anything wrong, and all the big social sharing sites you know, please take note that im only 16 so i dont have any experience at all
also idk if important, but were a rock/metal/punk/pop/alternative genred band, a member is visual kei
i mean the members are visual kei and in america
i would concentrate on music until you get signed. don’t worry about photo shoots, or videos until you can have someone else pay for it. make your music is good as possible. book shows and perform to gain exposure. post videos and music online to gain more exposure.
of couse, everything is easier said than done. just take every opportunity to perform. open for local artists, play in the park, or at city festivals or talent shows. do anything to get experience.
