Find a promoter who will freely help you and if your any good one will because I am a Manager/promoter and I have help a few bands to get started.You will need a promo and a portfolio (a few color and a few black and whites).My first thought would be to get one to listen and give you an idea if you can make it after being together for such a short while.I helped the bands I have only because I believed they had their act together and thier music was of entertainment quality and saleable.The only fee I have ever charged was an agreement that they help out a new struggling band when asked. :cool:And as posted earlier be willing to start on the bottom and play freebees until you have paid your dues.
