Fun meaning, &#8220;You don&#8217;t need to be on drugs to enjoy it.&#8221; The most important thing is to connect with your audience and create an experience for them. When people are listening to you, they&#8217;re letting you into their heads, so you want to put something there that makes them say &#8220;Wow!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The second component is, the band needs to dress well and look good. Don&#8217;t dress like a band that got kicked out of a bar mitzvah party! Dress like you mean business! If you have the right image and look confident, people will believe in you and support your music. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about\u2014making people feel something.<\/p>\n<p>The third component is, having a great producer who can mix and master your songs really well makes all the difference in the world. You can find producers online and on Soundcloud or you can hire someone from Berklee College of Music or UCLA if you want to do it old school style. I would recommend hiring someone who has worked with<\/p>\n<p>The Important Components of a Successful Indie Electronic Band<\/p>\n<p>A blog about components of a successful indie electronic band.<\/p>\n<p>The early 2000s saw the rise of many popular American indie electronic bands, including Postal Service, Death Cab for Cutie, and The Shins. What do these bands have in common? Well, they all have lead male vocalists with deep voices. They also all have complex bass lines and catchy synth melodies. Finally, they are all fronted by white men who look like they would be more at home on a golf course than a music festival (or, if you want to be more generous, \u201cbookish\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>This post will focus on another key component of the successful indie electronic band: the start-stop nature of the songs. Listeners might notice that in each song, there is no uniformity in the instrumentation throughout the song. Instead, there will be periods where just drums are playing \u2013 or just bass \u2013 or just guitar and vocals \u2013 before going back to full instrumentation. This provides the listener with an interesting musical experience and gives the different instruments room to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is a guide to the important components of a successful indie electronic band. This blog will touch on the three main components, which are: sound, image, and internet presence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Image is the most powerful tool in music&#8221;. -Travis Scott<\/p>\n<p>Before we start talking about how to get famous, we need to know what going famous means for you. Is it making money? Is it touring? Is it releasing hits? Or is it getting lots of instagram likes? Make sure to know ahead of time what your definition of fame is, so you can know when you&#8217;ve reached your goals.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before, there are three main components to becoming famous. Sound, Image, and Internet Presence. Sound is the most important one. Without good music, people won&#8217;t listen to you no matter how good your image and internet presence is. You really need to make sure that your sound is unique and interesting enough for people to want to listen to it. There are some key factors that go into this as well. Make sure that your lyrics are clear and easy to understand by most listeners. Put emphasis on certain words by elongating them or repeating them at different pitches or volumes. Make sure that your chorus has a catchy melody that is easy for people to<\/p>\n<p>The important components of a successful indie electronic band in today&#8217;s market are at once a relatively simple and complicated concoction.<\/p>\n<p>It all starts with the music. The two most important aspects of this will be the production quality and the songwriting. These two elements can not be understated, and should be given a great deal of thought, attention and care. It is important to note that if you are unable to write catchy, memorable songs, it will negatively impact your chances of success, regardless of how well recorded they are.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have written the songs, you will need to record them in such a way that the listener feels like they are listening to something professional, something that was clearly produced with an attentive ear by someone who knows what they are doing.<\/p>\n<p>This is where many indie electronic bands falter. They have great songs but do not take time to focus on production quality or mixing and mastering. The end result is music that sounds amateurish and does not compete with the current musical landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The second component in this process will be your image as a band, which is visual elements that your audience will see when engaging with your music, such as album covers, promotional photos, videos and live performances. Your image should reflect your music in some form or<\/p>\n<p>Today, the indie electronic scene is thriving with artists like Animal Collective and Flume. But what are the components of a successful indie band?<\/p>\n<p>In my own life, I&#8217;ve found that there are three important components to a successful indie electronic band:<\/p>\n<p>Passionate fans. A large fan base is critical for any artist to have a sustainable career. Many artists spend years building their fan base and it is not rare to find an artist who has been in the industry for more than ten years without moving forward in their career.<\/p>\n<p>A supportive team. The support of your family and friends is critical for growth as an artist. Without support from your family, it can be difficult to pursue your passion for music and reach out to others to build your fan base.<\/p>\n<p>Good songs. Of course, no band can succeed without good songs! Even if you have supportive friends and family, if you don&#8217;t have good songs, you won&#8217;t get anywhere in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Indie Electronic Band&#8221; is a hot topic in the music industry these days, and for good reason. It&#8217;s an exciting new genre that combines elements of rock and pop with electronica, and the result can be nothing short of amazing.<\/p>\n<p>But what makes a successful indie electronic band? How do you become one? Is it something that only happens in your studio, with tons of expensive software and equipment? Or can you achieve success on your own terms, by just playing your music in whatever environment you choose?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to this question may surprise you: all it takes is a little bit of preparation and dedication, and anyone can be an indie electronic band! And if you have any doubts about that, consider one simple fact:<\/p>\n<p>This blog post covers the four most important components of success for any indie electronic band:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A great sound. This is the most important part of any indie electronic band&#8217;s success. If you don&#8217;t have a great sound, then no one will listen to you. You need to make sure your music has some sort of unique quality that makes it stand out from the crowd. This could be anything from catchy melodies or hooks to interesting production techniques or even just having fun with what you&#8217;re doing!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A solid fanbase<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Movement and Music&#8221; is an extremely important combination for any band, especially in the electronic genre. A great example of a band who embraces movement and music as one element is Passion Pit. Passion Pit is an electropop group from Cambridge, Massachusetts, formed in 2007. The band consists of Michael Angelakos (vocals\/keyboards), Ian Hultquist (guitar\/keyboards), Xander Singh (synthesizers), Jeff Apruzzese (bass), and Nate Donmoyer (drums).<iframe width=\"100%\"\" height=300vh src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3npADYVtQOM?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Important Components of a Successful Indie Electronic Band: A blog about components of a successful indie electronic band.
