As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I finally had a chance to go and see Rural Alberta Advantage and they were terrific. Their sound seemed to really fill the Bowery Ballroom and I walked away impressed. I also learned thanks to Nils that they had played NYC 8 times over the past year.
This is a rather stunning stat, but it points to the marketing intelligence of this band. Focusing on energizing a core fanbase and using that core as a launching pad. At Bandwith our goal is to help RAA and anyother band quickly identify their core, energize that core and then maximize the value of every fan relationship as the circle of fandom grows.
Speaking of energizing a core, I came away from this show totally impressed with the energy and sound of Kittens Ablaze. This was a happy coincidence and I hope that in the months to come Kittens Ablaze can take the momentum from this show and energize their own core fan base. Here’s a track that I particularly liked entitled, “Gloom Doom Buttercups.”
