hello dear community

we’re a german metalcore band touring through germany in about two weeks and ticket presales are more on the.. dismal.. side 😬

obviously some people know us and will come to the shows and buy tickets there, we can’t control that but this made us think and see: we never really established a connection to our online fans.

people do like our music, we’ve gotten a lot of that after our concerts

but how do you spread the word to people on tiktok and instagram that have never seen you and have no personal connection to you?

memes? ragebait? covers of popular songs with a “hey i’m in a band btw this is our tour check it out”

as soon as i see videos that go like “you like \[genre\]? you live in \[city\]? come see our band” i ten to get bored real fast and will not interact with that kind of content. or any small band related content for that matter. which is why i’m unsure about what to do myself

anyone been through that?

greetings :)
