Amazing promotional idea

Sign in to disble this ad
From a hip-hop forum I sometimes post at, somebody asked about good free ways to promote your music and got this brilliant suggestion:

"Have a couple of people you know talk about wild gun play and then throw hands and have your music playing in the background and send it to worldstar."

Ha, genius!

I don't even understand what that means...

Talk about wild gun play and then throw hands?

wildly talk with your hands while throwing guns in an engaging way?

Basically: film a fake violent argument between some people, send it to a site that loves to publish that kind of stuff, and "coincidentally" happen to have one of your songs playing in the background.

It's funny because you know this could actually work.

Ive got a feeling that would do absolutely nothing to promote ones music other than just "putting it out there".

Well, I guess your band's audience is not into violently arguing thugs too much. You might want a video of, I don't know, Hare Krishnas eating at Hooters?

How would the video help to promote your band unless it had contact or website information on it? Unless you do that, no one is going to know who the band is or what song is playing, and without that, its not really promotion, just putting a song out the for others to listen to.

You do realize this is in bass humor and not band management, right?

Hmm...maybe I could get someone to run up to a public official, scream "Fight Another Day!" and punch them in the face, then have the screen go black and say "to be continued at www.fightanotherday.net"...

I think 'll pitch this to the guys tonight.
