Who said anything about expecting you to do anything? It seems that PR has quite a negative connotation for you. A sucessful PR manager should tap into nieche groups that may well already have a common or similar interest as those promoted by your organisation. It's not about conning people to come to a show that you'll know they'll hate. How is that sustainable?
I for one will bring my crew along to something I enjoy. Generally I associate with people who share common interests as myself. But I'm not about to ask my little sister to accompany me to a breakcore/glitch party...

PR totes sucks.
(I did the Blip PR).

- Get a bunch of PR people working for it. There's people that will always go to your shows. Spot them, pay attention to them, and offer them to get in for free and get a couple of free beers next time if they agree to bring some people over. Extend this network of PRs to your heart's contents. Best parties are those where people bring their friends to party, and in place their bring their friends, etc.
The list you just thew up is exactly what we've done so far. The only one I didn't think of was this.
I was litterally just talking about how much I'd love a PR team at work and this could be an excellent solution.
We have also sent media packs to local and national radio stations.

Wow, I feel a little weird reading that about PR people. I will not bring friends to a show if I didn't think they'd like it. I'll take a beer, but don't expect me to bring my posse. You are on the right track though with public relations, it's hard to explain the "PR magic" sometimes. It takes a keen eye and excellent communication skills to get your event to stand out. You've got to be organized and thorough.

Is everything spelled correctly?
If you read the promo copy out loud, does the syntax sound awkward?
Can you describe what you're doing in one sentence or 30 seconds?

Keep track, thank people that came out and ask them for feedback.
