Hi:

Good challenge! What you need to do is create a "buzz". Public Relations.

1. Get your fans to create a buzz by talking about you in Internet social sites

2..Get articles written about your band. Maybe some radio mentions.

3. Have a "good cause" tie in/with a sponsor (local restaurant, regional store etc) at the gig. Company sponsors (the prize money) have a contest or drawing where someone wins something big and the profits from the contest go to a "good cause" that is appealing to your band's target audience.

4. Go to other places where bands with similar music are performing and give out discounted tickets.

5. Have a contest at with schools for best design tee shirt for your band, announce at the gig. This might get more students involved .

6. Have contest where someone from the public can perform one song with your band (if appropriate) this might be fun and help you develop some free publicity.

Good Luck!!
