[The Real Rick Springfield]

• post your mixes in this forum and keep posting up fresh ones on a regular basis. this will showcase your skills as well as your ability to stay current.
• create a network through your mobile gigs, and stay in touch with them. (myspace?) if you've been doing highschool dances for 4 years, some of your first audiences are getting close to drinking age.
• if you talk to club management during business hours, make sure you are sober. it seems obvious, but you wouldn't believe the state of mind of some cats that would try to slip me a cd when i was playing out. if possible, get to know them during business hours but arrange to deliver your demo during the day.
• be professional at all times. yeah, it's ClubLand, but it is still a business.

hope this helps.
