From my experience the music must be heard by many thousands of people in order to make up for the lack of professional participation from spoiled club/venue owners. Hopefully digital TV and radio will be able to do what the Internet so far has not. So far what the bigger alternative programming channels seem to offer is a small book of unfavorable or unintelligible terms and conditions. I mean really do I have to see an attorney to promote my music for free? But there are at least now a couple of things that look like they are starting to happen. But will musicians ever able to do it without allot of investment in time or money? I feel like I need to reach at least one hundred thousand people knowing a song or two is by Luke Fictitious. But preferably over a million would help to make a tour or live performances successful. When a club does set up some sort of theme night and the quality is repeatedly good. These nights are often successful. It is much easier for a venue to build a following than it is for a band.
