Agree with everything of the above. When I was just a guitar player in a band, I never worried about the promotion part - I just tapped the same friends every time. Now that I'm kind of a "band leader", I do a lot of the e-mailing, flyering (where during this year's Dally in the Alley, I saw a lot get tossed on the ground immediately - that kinda sucked), text messaging - it's a lot of humbling work. The good thing is some of the other band members really do a fair share of work themselves. Can't say it's paid off for sure or not (we only nailed down a complete lineup in October and have been working on recording since then), but, hell, maybe it will in 09. Nice post.
