Why are cover bands more popular than good original bands?
Q. Ok well you take a cover band, and then you take an original band. Pay attention to how many people show up to see the cover band over the band that plays their own songs all night long. Majority of people will go watch the cover band. No matter how good the original band is! Seems like the only way you make it as an original band is if you have your songs on the radio. If you do not, you could have all the talent in the world. But a cover band will always outdraw you. Why is this?

A. Get on the net and look up all of the places you cited. Find the contact information and then call them. Find out from the secretary that will inevitably answer the phone, the name of the person you ought to be reaching out to. Then send a press release package to that person using priority mail. For instructions on how to put together a good press release check out the book How to Survive and Prosper As An Artist by Caroll Michels. She breaks it down pretty well. Good luck.

And I believe 99.9% of the time the bands that are being covered are flattered that another band wants to put out their own version. 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' i've heard somewhere...or something like that. Everyone has different tastes, just cause you don't like covers doesn't mean I'm going to stop buying them.
