What messageboards/mailing lists, fanzines and listings guides, radio and press do people use to plug their bands' gigs? Which are the best?
Obviously I'm not interested in spamming millions of disinterested souls, but grabbing the attention of those who might actually be interested in seeing a new band: Smart marketing, not mass marketing, take note you cheeky young scamps of McKinney...

Have you read this exclusive story yet?:
In a move that Hitler or Stalin would be proud of, DiS' website editors have continued their campaign to silence McKinney's devoted internet fans by deleting their posts. This sort of propaganda twisting was thought to be dying out as fast as cats around Sean Adam's flat. However, with this latest round of deleting it's clear it's a tactic DiS CAN and WILL employ.
Said one passionate McKinneyling: "I'm bloody angry - it's the equivalent of someone going around with an eraser and rubbing out all of L.S Lowry's work. It's scandalous, and only makes us more determined to spread the good name of McKinney."
In related news, L.S Lowry's grandchildren "strongly believe, without a shadow of a doubt" that their grandfather would have been a massive fan of the band, and would buy all of their records was he not dead. Subsequently, the charts have decided to count this when 'Surreal' is released, as part of their anti-discrimination-against-dead-people campaign. To balance this out, records bought by disabled people will no longer be counted.
"They'll just have to wait to die if they want to make their voice heard" said a charts spokesman, possibly that Genarro bloke at HMV thats always on Radio1 and in NME.
Helen Legless, 25, Leeds, a wheelchair used said: "This isnt fair", at which point Genaro pulled her out of her wheelchair, and ran away, laughing to himself. Sick.
Stay tuned for more McKinney news, McKinneylings!

"The Shakes were possibly the only "real" band to come out of IC." - Except for QUEEN of course!
I'm most flattered
If you liked the Shakes, and believe it or not, there were those who resisted the rock'n'roll flame, you should check out General Khaki; taking up where the Shakes left off, harder, faster poppier and more twisty than the Shakes. Minor Threat do Beefheart is how I rather pompously describe it.
