Should we look into any kind of "viral" marketing? I think we should do a physical show of force, but we can make a multi-pronged attack, too. Maybe fan videos, short films/etc.

I wonder if there could be Eisley air drops ... biodegradable creatures falling from the sky, promoting the new album.

Playing on the back of a trailer through a city (U2?).

Maybe take a cue from Midlake and have fan-made videos for certain songs?

From that Shins article: "The idea of staging one has come up," says Erik Kowalski, manager of Milwaukee's Atomic Records. "But we have only had maybe one or two customers ask. There's never been an overwhelming cry for it."

I doubt I could get them to open at midnight for Eisley as Eisley has never even played here. But surely a store in Chicago could be convinced, and get some press. Attention: Chicago LC. Get organized on which store when this album is closer to being released.

I wonder what city Eisley will be in on the night of the release?

Anyone who lives in the Tyler/East Texas area: Be sure to come to the Midnight Release Party at Hastings in Tyler. I'm going to try to get my hands on some merch and we will have plenty of CDs available. I'm going to make a huge deal out of the new CD at Hastings. Borderline crazy.

I like the crazy/wacky/amusing ideas, but I think in all seriousness air time is what's gonna make this album fly (pun definitely intended). So I would recommend if you know an alt-rock (they seem to be taking a liking to Eisley?) or indie station in the area, or just one that plays that kind of music on occasion, request that they play Eisley. It doesn't even necessarily need to be the new stuff (although that'd be ideal).
So yeah, radio time. Request them (if you haven't already Wink )

Very good point/idea. Even if we go whacky, we seriously need to include radio in our plans.

I remember part of emerge was to call your local radio station and request Eisley.

Poor emerge.

What in the world is Flashmobbing?

My guess.. where several people take a combined effort to spell something out? In this case, Eisley, or "new cd" (if we can even use its title by then) ??

Road trip from Houston! Anyone in the Houston area planning to do something? If not it's a possiblity that I'll take the 220 mile drive on up there, not sure yet though.

I'm in Houston.
I just lack the creative mind... or thinking right now...
So if you guys come up with something... I'm down.

Did anyone see the story about thoses guys that but up thoses lighting boards or whatever to promote a cartoon network show. They put them up on a bridge and the police thought they were bombs and all this junk. Anywho the show got more publicity than it ever have gotten otherwise. That's just a thought, I'm not saying we should go make 'Eisley fake bombs' or anything. Although that would be cool... Smile
