god i'm in the same boat don't worry,...
i've been going to all the locla shows i can. "hey guys, ou sounded GREAT, can i buy a copy of your album?, if you ever need any audio work done let me know i'd love ot be part of it :hands business card and buys CD:"
THEN,...get home,...listen to the CD, send them an e-mail, saying yo ulove the CD, (cite specific things) and if the production isn't super good, i guess you can feel free to say "the engineerings leaves a little ot be desired, but the record is still awesome"
anyway, i spent hours on myspace adding all the local bands,.. when you request bands you can write messages now
"hey guys, LOVE your stuff, if you ever need any studio work done let me know, i'd love to be part of it"
i sent e-mails to ALL the local labels (big or small)
"i'm a HUGE fan of ALL the acts on ______label, if you ever have any groups in the area that need demos, ep's whatever please let me know, i'd love to work for with any of the ____ bands, without charging of course"
doing this has gotten me a gig with a drive-thru records band (i love drive-thru) i dod free demos, they came back a second time and paid, now i'm getting another demo work being paid, as well as had another locla punk labels send me tow acts now.
i've also picked up a lot of bands from my myspace advice,...just keep trying,..and don't give up.
it'll come.
work as hard as you can,..and be sure you ALWAYS put your best effort into work.
