When people want you to be a good band they’re more likely to experience you and remember you as a good band.
So how can you get people to want you to be a good band?
Charge $30 instead of $10.
Charge $0 instead of $100.
Play a smaller venue.
Play a smaller market.
Play a market you’ve never played (let the power of streaming go before you).
Play a 4th of July celebration.
Play a frat bar (unless they turn on you…it can get ugly).
Make sure that any reputation that proceeds you has a heavy concentration on ‘you just have to see it live’.
If people want you to be good before they even arrive at the venue, you win.
