Dude, you just wrote a book on it. "Ramble" doesn't quite capture the essence of what just happened in your thread.bassist_25 wrote: Well, hopefully I didn't ramble too much.

here's my quick 2 cents...
1. the Brewery in State College is still a supporter of struggling startups and original music...you just have to be willing to play on a week night - at least to start
2. MySpace is the single greatest thing to happen to local bands since the microphone. Use it to develop relationships with people. People are far more likely to come to see a show if they feel they're in a special group of personal friends of the band. They might not even like your music, but they'll still come to be supportive and to network with others they've met through the band. They'll go on roadtrips with you to out of town shows, etc. Bottom line, you'll be exponentially better off developing friendships with 20 people on myspace and getting those 20 people to come to a show (perhaps each bringing 3 or 4 friends) than you will hanging a thousand (literally) flyers on telephone poles and store windows.

I have tiny hands, like a Tyrannosaurus. T-Rex may be the lizard king but he could never play the guitar...

"He's the electric horseman, you better back off!" - old sKool making a reference to the culturally relevant 1979 film.
