The preferred method is to keep your events calendar on Myspace or ReverbNation updated. We have implemented an auto-magical tool that will get your dates in the New England area.
We have 576 bands in our database, with 262 using Reverbnation and 176 using Myspace. The best way to tell if your RN or MS site is listed with us is to take a look at your band's detail page. Take a look at the detail page for Track44 and you'll see links for their website, myspace and reverbnation pages. If you use the dropdown list at the bottom of the detail page, you can select your band and see if you have MS and RN links. If we don't have you listed, send us your RN and MS links.
We are also experimenting with ArtistData.com, a free Sonicbids service that will get your dates on other social networks and even local newspaper listings. If you use Artistdata, please send us the links for your feeds - for some reason, they don't display them on your band page.
The other method is to submit your dates using email. Please submit in advance and supply sufficient details so we can post your listing. In the subject line, specify your band or venue's name. If you have a website, please supply that in the body.
Then list each event, date first followed by artist(s) or venue name. If it is an artist or venue we don't have in our database, it won't be listed unless you supply at least a webpage or address information.
Please note that press releases are not the proper way to submit dates for listings. Instead, boil the PR down to the five Ws and submit as above.
