4 steps to indie rock success* in 2009.** (1 Viewer)

1. be fuzzy/lo-fi, even if you record yourself on computer you MUST make it sound like it was recorded on an old cassette.

2. release a cassette.

3. when naming your band/album/song, use words like: beach, surf, sun, tropical and so on.

4. your album cover should be a blurry picture, vaguely nostalgic, preferably actually taken with a polaroid or some kind of holga type thing.

*being featured on some blogs.
**so what? exactly!

Thats a sweet how-to.Might start myself a side project.

That sounds like it would have worked any time in the last 30 years. It's timeless advice. Gazzer and the surf sun tropics are go!

haha that's for the rock rock band. There's already a drummer in our punk rock band.

I think Gazzy has that trademarked.

Suppose we'll just have to stick with the indie rock steps and see how it goes. We've got step one sorted anyways.

Get dancers and a magician to open your shows. The shows which your ma has booked.
