My friends have an agent and a great music group - how to help them get air time?

Question

Hi.

I have some friends who have a group (Halou, Invisible Ballet!) and they have great music (sort of techno dance but more ethreal than that) as well as a couple of videos on YouTube. I really think they do a great job, their CDs are available on Amazon.com, and they have an agent. But, they've not really gotten any airplay.

I know it's a super competitive environment out there but does anyone have any suggestions for how I could help them get that "one big break?"

Answer 1

Bands get air time usually because someone pays the station some $$$. The more following they have, the more notice they will get from talent scouts and/or record companies. So it's all about exposure. They need to perform live on the road in as many places as possible until they get booked into some large venues where talent scouts will go.
