How do you make a band famous and popular?

hey, ive got a ska band, and we've performed live and really BLOWN away people. We are all in high school and would like to get famous. The thing is that it seems like people will see us, clap loudly, skank, dance and everything but then never really follow up on it by coming to more shows. How can i get us popular and famous....even though u havent heard our songs just answer the question with an attitude that we have really good ska songs

In this case, I'm going to have to take your word that you're a decent band... ( I never met a band that thought they sucked...)



But anyway, if you rock, and I hope you do, go straight to the pros that make things happen in the business. A fan following and exposure is great but the way to get an education about how it is that things really happen and possibly more of a shortcut to a real career, is by joining pro organizations such as Narip.com (this one comes to mind as one of the good ones for networking) and attend their many events (LA, NY, AR, London,) where you can get to meet the people who can help you advance your career.



(If there's talent of course)



Best of Luck

Book yourself as many shows as you can and sell merch. If you dont got any merch then get it or nobody will know who you are. Itll be a good idea to send your demo or whatever you got to a radio station, and put up flyers around malls, record stores, skate shops that kind of stuff. sign up for battle of the bands gigs. If you gotta do birthday parties and that stuff then oh well gotta pay your dues.
I don't presume you have a budget for advertising, but you can certainly publicise (publicity is free) your band. Ask your local radios for some air time, or play a few of your tracks. Ask different schools around your area to attend. Don't be scared to preform at new, bigger or different venues. Try to preform on a consistent basis at a regular place where people are bound to come, as well as preforming at other places. This gives a dominant region of operations. For more creative ideas, if there is a marketing teacher in your school, ask them, or read up on marketing techniques, especially publicity events.
