Class 101 - The Fake Argument: How to Promote Record & Tour Ticket Sales
There’s allegedly a bit of a ‘spat’ currently ‘raging’ in the UK between one current and one former member of a certain washed-up UK rock band that formed in the 1980s.
However, I’m not going to name either party. The reason? Because it an evidently a ‘made-up’, meaningless argument. It is a shallow attempt by the press guys of two bands to promote a UK tour for the accuser, and a new UK album release for the accused. Both are obviously failing to sell.
Come on fellas. Give us rock fans more credit than concocting petty disputes to bring attention to your promotional activity. Use your imagination!
What else do press folk for bands do that really hacks you off?
P.S. Now here’s a great example of a band doing something newsworthy. Kiss dedicates an acoustic version of one their songs to a fan and ticket holder to one of their Australian gigs who was tragically murdered before the gig.
