Find a booking agent. For a young, unknown band, this agent could be a good, TRUSTWORTHY friend. Pay him a small percentage of anything that he books for the band. A good booking agent will try to get you gigs, because they only get a percentage of whatever the band makes. Many clubs will only talk to booking agents, not band members. The booking agent that you hire, or the person that you put in charge of booking, should only do booking. Your manager should be a different person than your booking agent. Flyers won’t hurt. Post rehearsal videos on youtube Practice! BE PATIENT. Get running on myspace Encourage people to add you Get gigs. Film yourselves playing and stick it on youtube. Establish a “look.” Record and print a CD.
