GIRLS & GUYS: Need your feedback on music, live shows, and merchandise! ASAP!! Thanks?

[Maria]

I need feedback from both guys & girls (pref. high school aged or older!!!!!) So PLEASE answer these questions!! Also, when you respond, please put your gender (some people on here have different user names and no pic) and age!!! Need your help ASAP!!

1) Do you like to/would go to a live show of a band/artist that are not on mtv/radio's yet BUT have collaborated with an artist who is and are doing their 2nd tour in 5 cities? So not as well known--would you be interested in checking that show out??

2) If you thought NO to the first question, why is that? Needs more marketing..etc?

3) Would you go just for fun or possibly want to get a CD (free) because you like them & follow up on them?

4) What makes a band that isn't well known all over yet MAKE YOU INTERESTED IN THEM/THEIR SONGS?? Is it the show they put on...or (girls) how hot they are lol..music in general..or what?

5) What merchandise would you purchase if you liked them?? Hats, tshirts, etc? And girls...would it make a difference to you if they had items specifically for girls as opposed to just regular tshirts or no?

6) What should they do or how should they be promoted to make you want to keep up with where they are touring and what they are doing and check out their website...(which are already music videos on youtube professionally done...real recording studio..e.tc)...how do they keep your attention after their show is done??

Also, guys & girls: if there is anything else you want to add that you think would be great feedback...ex: would you be more willing to go if there was a certain crowd? Would you PREFER them to have alcohol or it doesn't matter? ANYTHING WILL HELP!!

Please please please give me your feedback!! I need this asap and this is whatever genre of music you're into...from rap to country to pop..jam bands....YOUR CHOICE...base those questions on your favorite style and THANK YOU AGAIN!

Much love!

Hey, I'm a girl and i'm 13 going on 14. So yeah, i'm high-school aged.

1) Yes, if I like the band then that's all that matters!
3) Well you would go if you liked the band, so i guess if you really liked the band then you might get a cd
4) If you see them live, and that's how you find out about them then yes, the show they play live would impact on how you feel about the band. But otherwise it's mainly the music in general... Good Looks are just an added bonus!
5) If I liked a band I might buy a cd, t-shirt, poster... That kind of stuff. Yes, it would make a difference, because sometimes me's shirts can be more broad in the shoulders, and that can be a bit annoying.
6) They could get a twitter account, blog on tumblr, facebook page, instagram account etc, to announce to their fans about upcoming shows, and to talk to their fans. When a musician/band is nice to their fans then people will more likely want to see them live.

If i was to go to a concert, because of my age I would rather go to an U18's concert.Because it's a little more safe and there wouldn't be alcohol etc, and you wouldn't all those drunken idiots everywhere ruining the show.
