The venues in my area that already accommodate local bands, make it almost impossible to enjoy yourself. Overpriced admission, poor booking, ignorant promoters that don't promote. It's high time that we started doing things for ourselves. This article has some fantastic ideas on how to get out there and make it happen. Thanks for posting! This is absolutely true.

We are all music, tv, college radio, ad, promotional, management, etc..execs experimenting with what could hopefully become a "new way." Before you get into the "book" here, I am from http://www.filteredspace.com and our soon to be terrestrially syndicated radio show Fighting for Air™. Together we have teamed with the now free (5 year non-compete) Goopking (Greg Stricklin) who was the architect behind Unsigned Music Network and their vaunted Digital Solicitation Point that helped bands from Eminem to System of the Down-Dishwalla to Disturbed. It is an argued subject that he brought the Sunset Strip back to life in the late 90's to early 00 with KUMN radio and his Whisky Ago go/Viper Room showcases. (1997-2005) Well here we go again, and we need people like you to help get the word out. Many of us are musicians as well and are tired of the exorbitant rates or, time necessary we pay to promote. Example: Radio Promoter=$4500.00 for a 30-60 day campaign that might spawn one play in Cedar Radids on a 3 watt radio station. Or, we can spend hours upon hours searching for the stations that will play us. Filtered Space is attempting to bring all of this together with the real world rules in a digital world.
