perhaps they should try to do something different than all the other bands.
For example.
Theme nights / runs in the spirit of Fongoulish or diesel experiments.
Is it cheesy maybe but it is also something different. Something special to promote with. Not just hey Bfast is in town come out and see the band.
1 of the things that has been lacking and I am just as much to blame as anyone else I guess but their is no "scene" surrounding the bfast anymore.
If we as fans wanted to help. that would be the biggest thing IMHO. Not flyers or other stuff but a scene. Stage props, crazy artwork, poetry during set break, girl on girl jello wrestling anything to create a different feel or vibe. painters, spoken word, communists, whatever. Drink specials, safe rides to the show (yes i know many of you do this)
A community so to speak. We all tend to be fairly thick skinned sarcastic North Easterners, I am not telling everyone to be hippies or anything but we could all be much more welcoming of new faces and try to help the band like that. That means more than a flyer or handout. It makes your experience more personal. That is what made the difference to me. A simple hey thanks for coming out My name is Dave Peck this is Josh Kroop etc etc
My biggest hurdle is getting out to shows. I plan on working on that very soon but the other stuff is true.
A spectacle so to speak.
