<< My band is setting up a very short tour up the Mississippi corridor
from Austin to launch the record that we'll be finishing any day now.
We'd like to have (gasp!) people at the shows, even though we don't
get out of Austin too much, so we're trying to find media outlets that
we can barrage with hookers and blow. I'm thinking radio appearances,
reviews of the record, in-stores, mentions in "recommended" lists,
etc. >>
I'd start out getting my hands on a copy of Musician Magazine's Guide To
Touring And Promotion. It's not everything but I have found it to be extremely
helpful.
Stacey's Hellcountry website also has some good leads, a lot of it is New
England based, but not all of it, and it can give you ideas.
Good luck!
