1) Postering/Flyering: If we're headed
to your town to play a show, we send you posters and/or flyers and
ask that you post them in conspicuous places that won't annoy
anyone. There are some basic places to do this and good rules of
thumb to follow.
Good places to post and flyer: Any
Public Areas where posting bills is acceptable, College Campuses,
Record Stores, Book Stores, Cafes and Gathering Places of All
Kinds. Be as creative as you like but respect local ordinances and
don't do anything that would get you or us in trouble.
Storeowners will often let you put
posters in their windows if you ask kindly. These are great
postering locations, as the posters stay protected from the
elements, local authorities and random poster collectors.
2) Radio Waves: Request your local
radio stations to play The Waybacks. If they tell you they don't
have our music, get us their info - station name, address, dj, name
of program - and we'll send it to 'em right quick.. Of course, not
every station is likely to play our kind of music, but there are
plenty who are. So, use your discretion and we'll follow through.
3) Promoters: Request your local
festival and venue promoters to book the band. If they don't know
about us, give us their info and we'll send 'em what they need.
4) Online: If there are music sites on
the Internet that you dig and think they should have Waybacks music
for download, streaming or just online listening, let us know and
we'll get our tunes uploaded so someone else can download them.
5) Live Recording: The Waybacks are
happy to have you tape their shows. Once you've done so, pass along
a copy to a friend or someone who might become one, and encourage
them to do the same. If you're extra ambitious, feel free to post shows to the Live Music Archive at http://www.archive.org.
Pass along our tour schedule, particularly to friends who live elsewhere.
Any other ideas to get the word out are
appreciated and encouraged. Tell a friend, tell a stranger, tell a
town. We welcome your feedback and your help! So, if it sounds good,
