TOP 5 Reasons every Indie Band should Make A Music Video.

-It legitimizes you and sets you apart from other indie bands. A music video says we’re serious about our craft. We not only have songs but a well thought out plan and image. The majority of Indie Bands don’t have a Music Video besides some home footage of themselves at a gig. Having a real music video makes a great impression on Industry Contacts who are considering you for high profile gigs and gives you a leg up on the competition.

-It enhances the fan experience. It provides another means for fans to have access to you and see you in a new light. You can even use it as a reward for fan loyalty and street teaming. It also makes for great bonus material. You can now add it in your enhanced cds, and special editions albums.

-It provides yet another potential revenue stream. You now have the ability to offer your music video for sale through your own webpage, and through online and television distributers like Itunes, and cable networks.

-It opens doors to new markets by utilizing music video sites and tv demands. Music video-only websites are starting to crop up on the internet and being one of the bands that partakes in them gives you more exposure without a lot of competition (for now at least!) Gone are the days when you had to be on a major label and pay thousands of dollars to make an impact on new markets. Someone in another country who wouldn’t understand the lyrics can get to know your band through your music video!
