Answer 1

You are basically their manager. You go around to every single place that plays live music and try to get a "tour" going even if the band doesn't go very far physically. You get every music critic to hear them. You get every radio station to play their music. You get every entertainment editor to write a column on the band. You also need to make a press kit with music on a CD, a photo of the band, a history and style of the band (no grammar or spelling errors!) and contact phone numbers so you can be reached. Maybe you can go to a radio station and pick up a press kit sent to them to get an idea how to do one.
