I really think a great way for folks to discover the Breakfast is to read about the band in a newspaper. Millions of people could read about them if enough newspapers gave them coverage. If the writers are enthusiastic enough and envision a promising future for the band, it will surely intrigue plenty of curious readers.
I am planning on writing to all the music columnists in Bay Area newspapers in the hopes that my Breakfast pitch will pay off in the form of a well-deserved column profiling the band.
While looking through some major newspapers in search of the names and email addresses of local columnists, I realized we could execute this plan with efficiency on a larger scale. Many of us live in metropolitan areas with large populations (NY, Boston, Chicago, D.C., L.A., S.D. etc) and plenty of well-read newspapers. Perhaps we could come up with a template or standard letter that presents the band and our reasoning for its bright future/potential for a major following. The next step is to send it off via email to the papers and hope that they get coverage. If we use a single letter, it shouldn\'t take much time to find the contact of info of local writers and send out the standardized emails.
