We want to do things differently. We want to do things people don't think can be done. We finished our debut record in California in early 2007, climbed in our van, and drove directly to our first show in Iowa. It was our goal to bring the music to as many people as possible through hard work and grassroots promotion. It was our goal to play a show every day. We experimented, learned from our failures and successes, and in the first year we managed to play 170 around the nation.
We have a new record set to release, we're on pace to play 250 shows this year, and effective immediately we're changing to the next incarnation of our touring. We will always play as many shows as we possibly can, because bringing music to people is the axiom of what we feel music's place in the world is. The only shows we are going to announce publicly are going to be the EVENTS. If you want to see us, come to an event. We will unveil new songs, new lights, and longer sets at events.
Between events, we will still be playing shows to continue to share the music with new people, but they will be a secret until the day of, and will be promoted virally.
If you're reading this, we're thankful for you, and we're busy planning our next big event for you.
-John Paul
We The Living is a band that was formed to spread the idea that everyone needs a personal philosophy, or philo. Through constant reinvention, touring, and street team-led promotion, We The Living has grown from nothing in April 2007 to a nationally lauded band with a large and fervent grassroots fan base.
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Publish artist interviews in English to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazineInterviewsEnglish , interviews in French to http://groups.myspace.com/InterviewsAvecCountryMusicStars and interviews in German to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryMusikInterviews . All these groups on MySpace are part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
