kurb's indie musician self promotion centre

These are new and exciting times for independent musicians as the industry changes rapidly. On the left are a range of articles written and selected by us to illustrate how artists can get real about success with an independent career in music.

“A record label used to be able to look at a tree and say, 'That would make a great table.' Now all they can do is take a finished table and sell it at Wal-Mart.” - Alan Elliott

"Now that MySpace is here, you don't need a label to be heard ... The world is all about energy. If you can generate energy, it will ultimately translate into money." - Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins

"If you aren't promoting your music on MySpace yet, you need to start -- fast!"
bob baker, THE author of guerrilla marketing

Sure, record companies employ A&R people whose job it is to sign and nurture new artists -- but as major labels consolidate, cut staffs, and get nervous about the bottom line, they no longer have the time or money to develop new acts. Thats where its up to you to get yourself out there, and our job to help you do it!
