You want gigs? Go out, network, bring demos with you, market yourself on the internet, get a radio show, make a track and get it heard etc.

If you arent doing any of that... Dont expect any gigs.

yeah go to every bar and club in your area and just talk to managers, bring demos and offer to do the first night free...

Demos? Maybe in 2005. Promise 100 people, bring 200. You could play domenic the donkey and still get booked by most promoters.

Guess Im still living in 2005 then :p DJ's bring me demos all the time when they come to my events and I dont book anyone without first hearing a demo or hearing them live.

This, plus networking. No one listens to demos. Maybe they'll scan through it but everyone is a DJ now it's too time consuming to filter out who's serious. Networking is more the thing and then give a demo. And producing.

You can maeke a free page at onesheet.com and link all your . put it on a business card, a real one not those free print ones. Put some effort in your promo
