All done and dusted
Here we are at the end of the road. Time to thank you for staying with me throughout the journey (I’ve had some interesting comments en route, thanks for those). Time also to hope that you’ve found at least a bit of what I’ve said useful and can apply it to your own music.
And time to thank everyone who’s contributed to the making of the Banging The Rocks album, not least Fran Ashcroft for mastering the record and helping with some great tips for the mixes.
All we have to do now is market the CD. We’ll start with CDBaby as they can get the record into all sorts of useful places, and we also have some contacts we’ve built up over the years we were with Rising Records that can help us distribute the new album. We’ve always done a lot of our marketing, so we’ve contacts there too.
I guess we’ll do some traditional stuff like playing gigs (if you want us in your town, you need to ask!) and then we’ll have to consider radio plugging, making videos, maybe something really modern like streaming a live show over the internet. Finally there are the reviews to gather and the media attention to attract.
So, the work doesn’t stop once the product is finished, does it? And what’s the point of making an album you’re really proud of if no-one gets to hear the songs.
To end with, a quick request. Please come and visit us at www.sharppractise.com and check out the songs on the Banging The Rocks album page. And please come to our myspace site and listen to the full songs there, which we’ll put up in rotation as the weeks go by.
All the best
Nigel
