** Street Team - call to action Nov / Dec Tours **

Hey Vegasans and Vegasettes,

Hope you're well,

So as you know we're back out on the road for the majority of November and December and we need to maximize the exposure we get from these dates. We'll need your help in each area to get the shows promoted and work the radio stations in the areas.

You can download the posters and flyers from the site or request promo packs which will be posted to you asap. Here's a few guides of the sort of thing you can do:

* Poster and leave flyers out in the surrounding areas.
Concentrate mailnly on student areas, bars, deli's, shops, coffee shops, record stores. Windows looking out onto the street. Make sure the posters are in places that will insure they are not taken down between now and the show.

* Hand our flyers in the street - don't appear desperate or pushy - just informative and friendly.

* Contact the local radio stations. Let them know about the show and ask them to promote it and play 'In My Head'. Again, don't be too pushy, just informative.

* Make sure the show is listed in the local gig listings, if it isn't, contact them and make sure its added.

Get creative and see what other ingenious ways you can come up with to prommote us and these up coming shows.

Thanks for all your work guys!! You're the best,

Lots of love,

Your Vegas x

I would help you, but since you aren't even coming within a state it would be a little hard. :(

I think the nearest show to me is in San Francisco, which is about a two hour plane ride, or 15 hour drive from me. I'm not sure exactly how far it is from me though. Those are just rough estimates.
There's not even a show in Oregon, which is the state next to me.
And I would probably get too drepressed street teaming for a show that I couldn't even go to. :(

Will do, guys. :ok:

Even if we live in a different state than all the shows, we can do things like contact the radio stations close to the shows, share info with others on the net, and just generally keep up the positive buzz. :wink:

No need to be depressed Shannon. Street teaming is fun when you are doing it for a band you love. :D Shame you're not able to make it to the San Fran show. I've been there only once and it was a neat City. But, yes there are many ways to help out, even if they aren't playing near you. :wink:

Yeah, I love San Fran. It's an awesome city.
And it's hard not to get depressed because YV has been touring a lot, yet it's been six months since they last came anywhere remotely close to me. :(
Plus, I think my mom would kill me if I called long distance to call radio stations in other states. :lol: And from my experience with Seattle radio stations, it's sometimes really hard to get through. If they ever come back to Seattle, I'm definitely going to ask Harms to add their show to The Ends Concert Calendar though.

I'll help out however I can. I don't live near any of the shows but if anyone needs flyers or anything just let me know. I can design one and email it out as a PDF to be printed.

Shannon, there are alot of creative ways to help out even if you can't physically be out there promoting with flyers and such, the internet is a fabulous resource. Like Julie said, email radio stations, and use any friends or contacts you have on myspace or other message boards that you may visit and wherever else to spread the word about YV and their shows. I'm going to see what ideas I can come up with to help with the NJ Duran shows, I'm sure Duran has their own promo, but I'm going to focus on getting the interest in YV's music and seeing them live, such as through radio stations and colleges. And I'll see how I can help with the other dates nationally, like emailing. Think of how exciting it is to help them with this, and how much fun you can make it!

A lot of people that go see bigger shows don't even show up for the opening acts. We need to make sure people know that Your Vegas is worth getting there early for.

I don't think we have to worry about people not showing up early for the Shiny Toy Guns shows because I'm guessing most of them are GA so people will show up early anyways just to get a good spot.
I know what you mean though. I always go to shows for the opening band even if it's seated, but a lot of people don't.
