I was thinking of joining a Street Team, but I have no idea what being in a street team consists of, and an online street team nonetheless. I'm interested in promoting my favorite bands in anyway possible, but I want to know what being in a(n) (online) street team will mean in the way of how much work will i have to do. If anyone can help me out, it'd be cool

i think my lady and her friend were on a street team for this band called 8 stops 7(rock band), we know the bassist and the drummer from our hometown santa paula, ca....anyways, they'd pass out flyers, singles, posters and s.h.i.t. just to get the name out there...get a little buzz going out there. they'd call radio stations to play their s.h.i.t. ....they actually came out on Mtv....they kinda sound pearl jam-y...but they're pretty talented. ..anyways, i'd think online street team is just going on boards spreading the word, e-mailing radio stations, and just about everyone just to get the name out....i think

hm basically you just make publicity for the band in excahnge of free products. But street teams can be a real pain in the ass.. a couple months ago (on another secret message board ) we got spammed by Avril Lavigne Street Teamers and it was really bad.. imagine half of the post on this board saying "Avril Lavigne's new Cd is awesome... go get it." or "Havent you heard this new singer..." it's really annoying when its exxagerated..exaggerrated. (exaggerated?)

no seriously it's all about promotion...
before, nobody knew her, then, i began to see some publicity for her on internet while she was still unknown, then her single came out on the radio and i was like what!!.. a month later, i saw her clip at my friend's house and was even more surprised. the other day, i was at the restaurant with my friend and he song was playing and i didn't even noticed. My friend said he liked her and that kinda made me mad. Just THIS morning, in my sister's room i saw a big poster of Avril Lavigne on her wall. Now you know that the record industry is just trying to stuff our brains with shit so we go buy their albums.
PS: her named is french.. her grandparents are french canadian but she doesnt speak a word of french (read that in my sis' magazine)
