Mercedes rims, indie superstars and radio divas: The best radio stations in the Twin Cities Pt. 1

The band — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 23:44:32 +0000

There isn’t much variety for music in the Twin Cities, sadly. You basically have one station for all the most marketable genres of music, country, oldies, top 40, and urban. Many of the best stations like KMOJ and Radio K don’t have a very clear signal so you have to be either in a certain part of the city or online to hear them properly. From mercedes rims to indie superstars to radio divas, here is a list of the best radio stations in the Twin Cities.

B96

My friends give me crap when I play B96 in the car, but it really is one of the best stations in the Twin Cities. With great on-air personalities that aren’t grating like some of KDWB’s fake DJs and The Current’s annoying snobs, B96 is tolerable even when they aren’t playing music. They have a number of different daily formats that play old school joints and a time when they sample and try out new songs to see how the audience reacts is great at keeping the station fresh. Sadly, word is that B96 may be changing from a urban format into a strictly top 40/pop/dance format, which would a big blow to the hip-hop/r&b fans in the Twin Cities.

The Current

In the first few years when The Current was still fresh and new it was the best station in the Twin Cities. That honeymoon period has ended and now The Current is still good, but a tad annoying. Most of the DJs are insufferable and they have recently started replaying many of the same songs over and over again, from Animal Collective’s “My Girls” to MGMT’s “Kids.” They seem to be catering to the lowest common indie kid denominator with the most inoffensive and boring tunes possible, but it is still the place to go to hear music you wouldn’t hear anywhere else on the radio.

Music Promotion Tips : Reverbnation – the Indie Musician’s New Best Friend

The band — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 23:38:20 +0000

I’ve been using ReverbNation for about 6 months now, and I have to say, the site has really helped me with the promotion and marketing of my music. Like anything else, you get back what you put into it, and as anyone who has done any type of online marketing knows, it is a very time consuming process. Especially if you are attempting to do it alone ( or with very little help).

This is where ReverbNation can help. They provide you with tools, such as promo widgets, a fan mail program,etc. that can help you get your music out there, and get your band seen and heard online. They also provide detailed stats on your page views, plays, listeners, fans, etc. The best part of their site is that most of their services are absolutely free. They actually have a band equity program that pays the musician.

Obviously, you are providing content for their site, and with the email program there is an ad at the bottom of the email sent out. But it is all done with style, and in my opinion, is very professional looking.

The Fanreach email system also offers you info on click thru %, fan location, age, % of mail opened,etc. It also has filters so you can search for fans in certain geographic locations ( to avoid email fatigue ) and automatically removes invalid email addresses or unsubscribed users.

The widgets speak for themselves. If you want to see how they can be put into use, check out examples on the reverbnation site.

I think these widgets blend nicely into websites. They aren’t plastered with ads for doritos or bud light. They are customizable as well ( background and font colour ).

ReverbNation helps artists to better understand how their promotional efforts are working, and provides the means with which to communicate better with their fans. I really believe it is a must for any indie musician. Especially if you are understaffed, underpaid, and underfed.
