Answer 2

Do you have a bit of track on Myspace?

The best way is to let the band speak for itself.  If people can hear what it sounds like, they'll book it.  On-line advertising is all right as a way of introducing your name but people need to hear you perform

Think of local events where you could do a short appearance for free on the condition that you're allowed to distribute your publicity material - nothing fancy, a simple flier - that looks professional - that encourages people to book you, spread the word to their friends and gives your contact details.

Qualify the types of gigs you're looking for by saying what your band is especially good for - weddings, parties, whatever.

If you're promoting yourself on-line, ask people to send for a demo DVD.  That way you build a list of people interested in what you do and can circulate to them any news about events and special offers.

Good luck!
