Guerrilla Marketing, Viral Marketing, and Behind-the-Scenes Marketing for Musicians
TYPES OF MARKETING (An excerpt from "Your Band Is A Virus")
Guerrilla Marketing:
According to Wikipedia, “Guerrilla marketing is an unconventional system of promotions that relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. Typically, guerrilla marketing tactics are unexpected and unconventional; consumers are targeted in unexpected places, which can make the idea that's being marketed memorable, generate buzz, and even spread virally.”

The Dillinger Escape Plan Drop The Very Mean "Prancer"
You knew it was going to be mean and heavy, but it's nice to have it confirmed. The Dillinger Escape Plan's new single "Prancer" carries on with the metal band's career trajectory, with ample servings of both hardcore and punk, and when I say punk, I mean the meanest of Black Flag's material. It's relentless, but of course, you knew it was going to be. Though there's nothing surprising here, that's not a slight to the band. Their experimental/avant-garde side will rear it's head again, possibly
Dead Can Dance Announce Brand New Live Album That You Definitely Want
I've talked about crossover music icons Dead Can Dance quite often on this site, reviewing their Vancouver appearance after the release of "Anastasis" and posting a "Best to Worst albums" feature, but this deserves a mention. Dead Can Dance are known are known for pristine quality live recordings, not to mention near flawless performances, so it should arrive as particularly exciting news that the band have just announced they will be releasing a full length live CD simply called "In Concert".

17 Ways To Self-Promote And Distribute Your Music Video (If You Must)
The following article is an excerpt from "Your Band Is A Virus - Expanded Edition", and it covers 17 ways to self-promote and distribute your music video...if you must. I add in the "if you must" because if you've put in the time, energy, and funds usually required to create a professional music video, you should put the same care into promoting it, and that means outsourcing, unless you plan to do all the work yourself. Of course, if you work hard, anything is possible (or is it

6 Inspiring Marketing Principles I Learned From Famous Amos
What can Famous Amos teach anyone about marketing? Well, 6 quite inspiring principles, in fact. It's an odd premise, I know, but stay with me. I'm always looking at the world to see what works and why as far as marketing goes. After all, I promote music, and I'm always looking to apply new lessons and techniques to help the artists I work with.

Iggy And The Stooges Return With The Menacing "Burn" from "Ready To Die"
First David Bowie announces a new album, and now Iggy and the Stooges? It's shaping up to be a great year for music, and certainly for rock n' roll. The Stooges recently released the first single, "Burn" from their upcoming full-length CD release "Ready to Die"(due April 30), which you can bet will be as refreshingly unapologetic as it sounds. Iggy does everything head-on, playing with his muse much like a Shaman with no regard for social/cultural norms, and such is his brilliance.

"Has Your Music Been Featured In The New York Times?" An Exposé on Beatwire.com
UPDATE: As of March 2nd, 2013, Beatwire.com is STILL running this misleading ad entitled "Has Your Music Been Featured In The New York Times?" I'm happy that this piece has circulated so much. Keep spreading, people! Let the musicians know!

David Bowie's "The Next Day" Is A Gut Wrenching, Beautiful, Masterpiece
David Bowie's new CD "The Next Day" is a gut wrenching, beautiful masterpiece. Recorded in secret over the past two years with producer Tony Visconti, the effort could have gone in just a few directions. 2003's "Reality" was for the most part a strong release, 2002's "Heathen" was excellent, while 1999's "Hours" was a mostly forgettable affair. Bowie fans around the world were surprised that a new album was forthcoming at all, so it's safe to say we would have been happy with almost anything,
