Some Excellent Resources
For those of you reading this that are looking for publicity, but aren’t ready to hire the big guns (ahem.. like us), here are a few sites that can get the ball rolling for you.
Myspace – If you’re not on there, stop reading this. Go sign up, build a network, then come back and continue. Ok, maybe just go sign up, then come back here. Bottom line – it lives up to the hype. You can use it to meet new fans, talk to other bands in your scene, find bands to tour with/open for/etc…. The list goes on.
Book Your Own Fuckin’ Life – One of the original great indie sites – everything you need to make it happen. Except good tunes I suppose. That’s up to you.
Daily Chord – Collection of up to the minute music news stories. Essential reading for those in the biz. Sign up for the daily email blast.
The Indie Bible – Can’t stress enough how powerful a tool this is. 4000+ contacts, all wanting YOUR music. Get it, use it, thank me later.
Record Label Resource – Directory of everything an indie label needs to record, manufacture, and promote their releases.
iFanz.com – Fan management system – Email, Merchandising, Tours, Promotions…
Hopefully that will give you some places to start. Feel free to comment and add music related sites you have found useful.
