Are you smashing it with your band in your local area but struggling to build an following outside of your town/city?

A problem I'm hearing daily so what are we going to do about this? We're going smash it, that's what!

Firstly if you can bring an audience to a show in your local town/city then you are a commodity. A commodity is 'a thing of value or something that can bring value'.

You're going to do research and find another band similar to yours in another city not too far away from yours and you are going to use your commodity to trade. If you can find another band that can bring a similar crowd to a gig in their area (and possibly a third) and you are going to swap. They are going to be invited to come and play a gig with you in your city first then in theirs.

This basic bartering system means a win/win for everyone should you choose the right band. You can grow your following in a new area to people who like the style of music you play and so can the other band.

What are you waiting for, go and find some bands online and start wishing them merry xmas to get the convo started!

Lets have a big end to this year so we are on course to smash the F**K out of 2017 which is going to be our year!

I'd love your thoughts and comments below on anything I can help with and you can find more of my content on all the usual socials!
