What to do next....
Hello all
So, some sagely advice/abuse from you fine folks. My band The B of the Bang released an album last year called 'Beginning. Middle. End.'. It got the following nice words said about it:
PLANET SOUND - 'like British Sea Power gone Wicker Man. A stunning debut...gorgeously textured...just too good to be neglected. 9/10'
SUBBACULTCHA - 'heart rending beauty...a force to be reckoned with.'
ROCK PULSE - 'like Radiohead making love to Sigur Rós...this album is nothing short of a goddamn triumph. 10/10'
ARTROCKER - 'may be hard to pigeonhole, but it’s even harder to shake out of your mind once it’s finished - we like'
ALTSOUNDS - 'should be listened too by anyone looking for a new band that has originality, melody, energy and emotion at its heart.'
Got lots of other lovely reviews too (and a couple of stinkers...no one's perfect...)
We toured a bit, we lost a load of cash doing so but we had fun. We're about to go into the studio to record a new EP and.....and....and then what?
This is where you come in. We have pretty much no money, all being skint musicians/students. Our label - whilst being brilliant with studio time and allowing us to do what we want also does not have any funds to speak of really. We printed up lovely merchandise, singles, albums etc...got stuff on itunes, amazon etc...but are finding it really hard to make a dent. I know people will say 'get a manager', 'get a booking agent' etc...but we don't seem to be getting any attention there. Now, you might say 'you must be rubbish then' but the words of others above make us think there might be something in us. Any ideas?
