US East Coast Tour Possibilities (Page 2 of 3)

i, for one, would love to check out your music.  if you don't wish to upload it here (entirely your choice, naturally) that's cool, but perhaps you could post a link here so we can check it out?

or even just PM me, if you want to keep comments/feedback out of the picture. 

hearing chip that originates in the southeast is a real thrill for me (and I would imagine others in the area too).  been toying around with the idea of an outdoor festie around asheville for a while now, and with some recent things that have happened, this may very well be a thing.  and not just an unobtainable goal.  been trying to keep a tab on local artists much more, considering this

please share, if you're willing

ESC: that was a mediafire link that I removed by accident and you couldn't even download it, it was a two year old EP that I re-made anyways.

I went to graveyard this because it became about opinions, in which i spoke of nobody directly, but just people are quick to be pretty rude, rather than giving actual insight.
maybe i'm just some stoner hippie kid who thinks mannerisms is important everywhere instead of only in person, it's just how I am.
The fact that I don't like how shitty some people are on a site won't make me not use the site, it'll just make personally want to refrain from being belittled for my efforts, even if i'm not a professional chiptune artist or whatever the formal terminology that's accepted by the general community.
I have no problem sharing my sounds, I'll post a few songs even on here. I just wish I could delete the old songs.

or maybe you're just misreading any and all comments that aren't what you hear as mean, rather than CC
and you can delete songs you've uploaded here, i swap out whats on here from time to time and deleted most of them

even if the OP was a beginner, and assuming that most beginner's songs are technically less evolved, I would still love to see and hear it played live. No matter how shitty it is, I'd still be happy that someone is going place to place sharing what he or she is creating on a gameboy, laptop, sequencer, cell phone etc.   It does so much more for me than having to watch another fedora wearing white boy singing Hey Ya on an acoustic guitar.  No offense to fedoras and white boys.

I am in the process of booking a small tour for the duo project I am in with a buddy, doing chip-heavy EDM. It's incredibly hard to get booked in most of the deep South for electronic music. And chipmusic? Good luck. It's not impossible but it is freaking hard. Even if you were Bit Shifter or Danimal Cannon no one would show up because there simply isn't a lot of great nerd friendly culture/bars in the South period. EDIT: unless you are playing in Atlanta or maybe Nasheville or Orlando. I am DJing the once-a-year videogame themed night that happens in Birmingham and I am dreading it. I promote locally and this show always has the smallest turnout. No unity of geeks in the South, none at all.

If you plan on booking a tour and breaking even, make sure you feel like you can kill a show. Possibly sell tee shirts or a CD. Maybe even business cards with QR codes going to a free EP download. You want to be well-remembered so you can play somewhere again and have returning listeners should you do another show. It pays to be well-equipped.

The final thing I have to say is that if your music doesn't have vocals and you are playing some sort of bar where people regularly go to hear music with vocals, you might wind up in a bad spot if they don't find your music interesting. Best of luck with the bookings. I find that local footage from anything - house party, rave, jamming at an open mic - helps with your press kit.

I've got a good amount of shows down here. I've got a way with people and i know the places to play at, i guess.
I don't have tees or anything but free cd's in jewel cases that have my info in the sleeve along with a url to download my other music.
