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.

The first reason is because the said band does not have a Facebook page. Even if you already have a personal account in this social network website, you should create one that is solely for your band. That way, you can distinguish yourself as a musician. You can also promote yourself better if you have an account in this social network website.

Speaking of websites, it would be better for you to have a website of your own. In this website, you will be including contents about your band, about the members, tour dates, play dates, gig dates, and other relevant information. You have to make the website easy to navigate for your listeners so that they will get to know you more.

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.

Be sure to interact with the fans, especially those who attend your gigs. You will usually receive praises from your fans, may it be in your social network website accounts, in your website, or in person. Either way, you have to make sure to say even a simple thank you for their kind gestures.

Pay attention to your song selection as well. You have a lot of songs that you can offer to sing during events but you have to make sure that these songs are well-known to your target listeners. If you can, you have to offer something unique but make sure that it is still within the tastes of your listeners.
