We sell music too. Dubber makes sense. For a band like us, dark music, usually have to grow on a new listener. We've heard the same things over and over, "Hey, your music is growing on me! I love it!" We know we'll never be rock stars, but we do know we make great fans by lettng them hear the whole song. We give alot of music away. We sell music too. Dubber makes sense.

when people start to actually like your band and want to see you, promoters will be in touch to want to put you on. negotiate your fee or door split but don’t be greedy as no-one will want to put you on then and that’s a bummer.

you have to still rehearse loads and loads, no one will want to get your record or tshirt if you’re a shoddy band.

if you have made it this far, people like your music, they sing the words at gigs and you’re funding your own tours. hows that for your business model?

now keep going DIY or be a sell out, it’s your choice.

Even back in the MySpace heyday of 2004/5, both Lily Allen and Arctic Monkeys launched their careers by letting people hear great songs online for free. You may not be aiming for the same audience, but the principle’s the same. Why would anybody bother listening to little 30 second clips on Amazon Mp3 and iTunes of somebody they’ve never heard of ? There’s a must-read article about this by the influential commentator Andrew Dubber here. [...] [...] My feeling is that the best way to promote music these days is by “broadcasting” it online.
