Venues like to see bands that have played shows and can bring in a draw. So I highly recommend playing any show that you can get booked for such as birthdays, private events, etc. Your goals are to build up your fan base, reputation, and experience. Bookers on the other hand, want bands that have touring experience. Now after all that, lets send some demos. Here is a run down of how it usually takes place. - First week: Send demos / press kits - Second week: You're press kit is barely ariving. They most likly have not been looked at yet. - Third week: Press Kits are barely being looked at. You may want to follow up with a promoted / venue based on their submission rules. Sending an e-mail is always the best method. If and when they respond back, it's either going to be a yes you're booked, or an unfortunate no. If it's a no, do not get discouraged.
