The Battle Of The Bands

By John Michalak


If you're in an unsigned band one of the best ways to get your group noticed is through a battle of the bands. Battles tend to draw very big crowds and help groups to build strong followings in their home town. As a group starts to win these kinds of events people start to think differently about that group. Therefore a battle of the bands helps to establish a name in the market place for any band that can win one.

Local shows are some of the most difficult events to promote. If you can add something to a local show to make it more of an event you will make the show more appealing to the all the fans. Then if a bands can get loads of fans there to support them and to help them win that group will start to climb the social ladder in that market.

It is extremely hard to promote a regular local show, which is why it is so important to make each local show some kind of event. If you're in a local group you must take every effort to make each show special, some kind of event. It can be a birthday party for a band mate, a special holiday party, or a battle of the bands, which is one of the best events.

Local bands may not have tons of fan, but they usually have very loyal fans. When a band joins a battle of the bands most fans recognize that their favorite band needs their support. Local support and the fact that a battle has an added level of excitement are two of the reasons fans love battles. People want to see if their band will beat out all the other groups on the bill. The competition and the fact that the battle format helps to include them makes them feel right at home, and the fans love it.

So, remember that battle are easier to promote since they are events and not just another show. They are more fun for the fans since the fans get to participate in the competition. They tend to be more crowded with fans, which makes them one of the better events for groups if they want to grow.
