Reasons Why Cover Bands Fail To Succeed

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.

First, most of the groups fail because they do not pay attention to social network websites. The said website is one of the ways for you to keep your fans updated about your group. More than that, the said website is where you can promote yourself, your group, or your songs. You have to get yourself an account here.

Not only an account in social networking sites. It is a must that you find a way to launch an official website for your group. This official website is where you will be listing all of the gigs that you are scheduled to go. This is also the website where you will be saying everything that is related to your group and to your music.

Be sure to have a mailing list. This is a way for you to have a line of communication with the fans who are supporting you in your career in the music field. Nowadays, the mailing list is not a troublesome postage system. You can just set up an email or other similar methods to easily establish your communication with fans.

Pictures are important for your popularity. That is why you have to take lots of pictures of your group and make them available to your fans. These are just not simple pictures, though. Make sure that they are good quality ones. You can take good quality pictures even by yourself if you just have a camera to use.

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.

Interaction with fans is a given for all groups. The fans will want their idols to hear what they have to say. Most of them do not expect any response to their words. However, as a musician, you should not leave them as they are. You have to send them even a simple message of thanks to show your gratitude.

The songs you play must be properly selection. This is very important, after all. When you select the songs that you are interested in playing for an event, you have to pay attention to the times, the hit tracks of the year, as well as the people who will listen to your songs.
