i hope youre more than just curious, this will take me a few minutes to write...

1 get a demo. load it onto the ipod...
2 get some photos.
then you want some free publicity... phone /email /stalk / radio shows and newspaper offices... and dont get caught sticking fliers... its criminal damage. and its got your contact details on it...

better way, is to flood the area with handbills a few days before the gig, and in the city centre on the night of the gig...

then you play for 90 minutes, do an encore if the crowd is drunk enough, and walk away with MAYBE 30 or 40 quid... then you hump all your gear into the transit van, or your dads volvo estate and get some zeds...

people will only know about the bands existence, if you tell them.. its hard work, but hard work and a good sound pay dividends... then you can order a white ice swan for the dressing room...

-Get a facebook and myspace account to cover online networking.
-Create what they call a 'press pack'. This is information about the band and a recording of a few songs to give to people that book shows at venues and bars.
-word of mouth is always good. Start with friends and the word slowly spreads.
-Put out recordings on Cd's or on mp3. You can even upload songs straight to itunes.

As already mentioned. Myspace is great for this. Myspace was actually created for this exact purpose, and has a lot of built-in functionality to help with this.
