I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to promote music you like to your local radio stations. We have one in town that could play Bang and other Empires songs just fine, I'm just not sure what the best approach would be to make them do that.
Of course I could just email them to the official address they post or register with their forum and make a suggestion that way. I just don't think they would pay much attention to that sort of thing. Not unless there are a lot of requests of the same type.
So here's the first idea - we could list our local radio stations where we want to hear the Empires, and send requests collectively to all of them, even if they are nowhere near us.
What do you think?

I think that is a great idea, I live in Georgia and I know 99X has a segment where they play unsigned bands.
I agree, I'll email all the radio stations I can in Georgia. Its a really good idea to help promote them.

I'd love tips on getting them played in WA. I have a friend who is a DJ in Southern IL maybe he can tell me how to get them played. I know before when I asked him to play a Forgive Durden song he said he couldn't because it wasn't on the stations computer or something. :/

I'll start with mine, it's called The Bear: www.wrbr.com/Here's a good place to ask for Bang: it's a show where they play the most requested 6 songs every day. All we have to do is make sure that enough people request Bang one day. www.wrbr.com/STATION/SpecialProgramming/MillerLite6Pack6/tabid/76/Default.aspxThe guy to write for the show is Tommy Carroll: TOMMY@1039THEBEAR.COM Here's a plan: let's all write to this guy to ask him to play Bang on December 26 because the Empires have a show that evening. Make sure to send them the link to the website where they can get the song and to say that it's for the Miller Lite 6 pack at 6 show. Who's with me? I'll post this on livejournal too. If anyone has other such ideas, please post them here and I'll help. |

I decided to do this tomorrow. Everything is slowed down during the holidays.

It's done. I told them that the Empires are the best band that they are not playing. I hope they listen.
