Here's a minor, though effective, strategy for getting Ima Robot on the airwaves.

They do attract a lot of play on Specialty Shows, from jocks who appreciate Ima Robot's deviation from the norm and are willing to give them a plug or two.

Take Cities 97 here in Minneapolis, for example. Totally not Ima Robot's format (though what is, really) but here we're talking soft rock album tracks throughout the day, the kind of music that pipes over the air when you're working at Sbarro or something.

Well they have this show on Sunday nights called Freedom Rock which showcases "independent, imported, and new releases" on a weekly basis. Ima Robot's "Alive" was played a week ago, so I sent the host, Brian Oake, an email thanking him for surprising me by playing them, and letting him know about the upcoming show in our area.

Well damned if he didn't put it back on the playlist again this week. And I got an email response from him with some nice comments about the band, as well.

Something tells me that, in smaller markets at least, not a lot of people bother to write to these Specialty Show hosts either thanking them for playing stuff they like, or turning them on to new music (read: Ima Robot).

So go out there and send some personalized emails, and we'll see what happens. Post your responses here and we'll go to the giveaway drawer for some of the better successes.

well, i live in l.a. maybe i can be of any help? hhhhmmm... the airwaves huh...

tis not to late to join..is it? >> Philly, Trenton sometimes New York area.

i'd do street team for them, i'm not really into the whole online thing, but i do go to a lot of shows and i can hand stuff out and whatnot...

U2U me your names and addies and I'll send you some stickers to give out if you get the chance.

I just got three people into Ima Robot today! Score one for Amanda ;-)

Another effective strategy is to post about them on other message boards. I always talk about them on thestrokes.com MB. I've gotten a few people into them.

::taps fingers together a la Monty Burns:: Excellent....:-D

Nice job. I hate the hammer-over-head street team approach. People are too cynical for it, anyway. Just have to ease them in subtly...

Ive got Vancouver covered, unless its too late to join...

Sebbie, I sent your stuff out again today. I had sent it last week, but it came back returned...and empty. This is the third time I've had someone at the Post Office swipe the contents of something I've sent out!

So let me know when (and if) you get this next one.
