| Before the chorus of wiseacres starts chiming in, I'd suggest that you take an approach that builds on the strengths of what you've got, and avoids the pitfalls of dreaminess and wishful thinking.
Get this "band" to rehearse twice a week. Approach bars that hire entertainment and get booked to play a show. Play benefits. Build a following. Get a myspace page. Approach the local radio stations and try to set up some kind of "event/show/promotion" that ties together the station, a car dealership, and I dunno, local funeral home?
Even the greatest music has to have flesh and blood people out in the real world playing it and promoting it, otherwise it's just a fantasy.
Is there a college anywhere around you? Do they have a video/film department? Is someone looking for soundtrack material? Would they be open to your band playing a free show on the quad at lunchtime? Etc? |
