One of the more interesting methods of promotion I've seen recently is making compilation CDRs (which feature music by the artists performing at the given show) to hand out, or to leave at local record stores as freebies. It might take a little bit of time to burn a hundred or so discs, but in the end doesn't really end up costing that much. Even if the person who picks up the disc doesn't end up at the show, both the artists appearing on the comp and the scene as a whole get exposure.

Yeah, PLainFlavored, that quite works, we did it a lot in our parties, but nowadays we deem it a bit sexist and try not to.
In any case, getting people in for free until a certain time will assure at least a bunch of people making teh base of the party. People who go to a place at a certain time and see it empty, don't want to get in.
