pop will eat itself

Stuff brought up in the "merchandise" thread so I thought I'd start a new topic on it.

One thought for younger fans- a remix contest through a site like Indaba. I know "No Fear" had one years ago and "Reclaim the Game" as well, but I don't remember if either were affiliated with an actual online hub of young production talent. Indaba (and other sites) reach a huge group of people who may never have heard of PWEI, and I think the nature of PWEI music is very production heavy and would appeal to like minded etc. etc.

When James (the band) had a contest last year, they did a top 10 countdown with band commentary on each track for their fb page. Really built up anticipation/ interest.

Also, video remix contests; Shia Lebouf rants in front of a green screen and the internet takes over. I recall REM putting some "video stems" out for Supernatural Superserious and getting massive fan interest. Sometimes these video/ fan producers have a larger audience than the band they are working with.

I happen to think the 21st Century English Civil War video is the best video PWEI ever had, after some dismal recent ones, and that kind of stuff gets noticed when it's in a curated Vimeo collection...

some good ideas!!

I just edited an Amazon review I'd done of NNDBAS to include a plug for the new album. It's not much but given there isn't an entry for Anti Nasty League it's better than nothing.

Any Reddit users here? People could promote the band on there. I occasionally go on but I haven't got a clue what to do.

I'll photograph the cover when the CD arrives and plaster it all over Facebook & Twitter, along with links.
I wonder if the band will be playing dates around the Indie Daze show in October?
Hope so

The term "It's not much" is null and void mate because it ALL helps.

Well done to everyone who's mucking in with this and let's keep it going.

Surprisingly there's no Anti-Nasty League page on wiki so I'm in the process of making one now.

Edit - submitted it, just waiting for approval
