Bands looking for easy promotion and the opportunity to get a review can find it with a new venture called Midlands Music Maniacs.  Della has started this music profile on Myspace dedicated to giving local bands a leg up with publicity.

“We’ve been going for just over 3 weeks now.  I’m amazed at how fast it’s taking off!”, said Della. 

Midlands Music Maniac’s profile is on average receiving 200 hits per day and it’s also starting to get the attention of music industry professionals too.

I asked her why she decided to start this page.

“I’ve been promoting bands for the past two years on a smaller scale and looked into what was happening in the Midlands. Basically, I found there was a huge gap in the market. What I’m eventually planning to do is get someone on board who can go out to the gigs and video short interviews with the bands to put up on our page.

“A lot of these bands won’t have had this type of experience of being reviewed, interviewed and promoted in the media before. We hope it gives them something solid to include on press kits and show industry execs. We’ve also got a facebook page going to encourage more fans to support their local music scene, hopefully this will lead to bigger crowds at gigs.”

Della maintains a rolling list of upcoming gigs.  She also features 10 bands every month with songs and a review by yours truly.  Bands can also check out her “Daily Post” blog with a list of opportunities bands can take up like festival auditions, band vacancies and venues wanting talent.
