You've spent money on a demo now what? In this article I will provide some examples of using your resources to help advance your musical career. For artist in the state of Texas my recommendation is for you to check out http://www.governor.state.tx.us/music the website is loaded with good information. Such as how to handle your band as a business, it also explains the deductions you can take etc... If you’re planning a tour of the state of Texas it provides booking information on music venues for the entire state. If you would like to play at a festival in Texas this website has information on that too. You can even get your band listed on this site so potential work can come your way. This website is a great resource.
Internet radio stations are they good or bad? Well if you’re an up and coming artist you need to get your music out there! You need the music to be heard! I understand that you don't get paid royalties on internet radio stations. The idea here is to get your music heard by as many people as you can. Don't give away every song just one or two so that people can know what your band sounds like. This is a big selling point for shows. The fans of live music will know what your music sounds like before hand. If they like what they hear they may even show up at one of the shows. Many internet radio sites have sections dedicated to show dates, some even have a ranking system so you can see how the fans like your music! Here are just a few www.radioiv.com , www.texastopforty.com , and www.unsignedbandweb.com. Music is very competitive, so use your resources it's a very effective way to promote yourself as a band or solo artist.
