Top Reasons Cover Bands Fail In The Music Industry

By Katina Brady


There is no one out there who does not like music. Almost everyone has a favorite song that they want to play, especially during special occasions. To cater to people, a lot of cover bands Philadelphia start their gigs, aiming to make their names popular. However, not all can succeed in this field. Here are some reasons why that is so.

The first reason is because the said band does not have a Facebook page. Even if you already have a personal account in this social network website, you should create one that is solely for your band. That way, you can distinguish yourself as a musician. You can also promote yourself better if you have an account in this social network website.

It is not only the social network websites that you should pay attention to. Aside from making an account in social network websites, try to make your own website as well. In your own website, you have to write anything that is relevant to you and your group. It might be contents about your background or your upcoming gigs.

You should prepare a mailing list. The technology nowadays is not like before where people will have to wait for days just to get their letters to their destination. With just the click of the fingers, people can now send their message of love to you in seconds. You have to prepare your mailing list to receive messages from your fans.

There has to be good pictures available of you and your band. This should not be an impossible feat nowadays, considering that there are numerous digital cameras that are cheap to purchase and with high quality. You can pick out a digital camera, take a picture, and make that high quality picture available for everyone.

It is also a given for you to prepare some videos. These videos will be shared to the people who are supporting you in the music industry. You should be able to make simple videos these days, even without the help of production companies. You can then upload these videos online and share them to your fans.

You have to know more your vocals. This basically means that you have to pick out someone who can sing well. Even though that vocalist can really sing well, he or she should also learn the value of practice. No matter how well-known a song is or how popular you already are as a group, it will all be for naught if the vocalist is off-tune.

Be sure to interact with the fans, especially those who attend your gigs. You will usually receive praises from your fans, may it be in your social network website accounts, in your website, or in person. Either way, you have to make sure to say even a simple thank you for their kind gestures.

The selection of the songs you will be playing is very important as well. As much as possible, you have to find the ones that are easy for your listeners to follow. You should also make sure that they know most of the songs you have on your play list. Otherwise, they will not be able to appreciate your music.
