Don’t know much about this guy, but looking forward to hearing some of his stuff on Stereofame. I’m an electronica fan, from way back to “The Lords of Acid.” Although, not everyone considers them electronica now, they sure as hell were back THEN.

These days, I am more about Cell, Aes Dana, Carbon Based Life Forms and Boards of Canada (Assuming they ever release another album).

For now, check out Datafiles and tell him to get some tracks up: http://blog.dataphilesmusic.com/

I just created the following page on WikiHow. It’s not nearly complete enough, but it’s a start:

How to Promote Your Band on Stereofame

from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Stereofame is one of the hottest new websites on the internet. But it can seem complicated at first, so take some time to figure out the system. Stereofame not only allows both fans and artists to interact online but also allows both to share, sell, and profit from the promotion of new music. You can play the game and win great prizes, but you have to know how.

Steps

1. Sign up for an account! You must have a Stereofame account in order to begin.
2. Create a memorable name for your record label or band.
3. Find or upload great music! As a record label, you can “sign” up to 10 artists. Bands can upload up to 5 songs at a time.
4. Start earning points on the site. As a record label, you get points every time that one of your signed artists gets fans or points. So sign up hot new talent when you find it. Band get points when people vote for you music or buy songs, so stay in touch with your fans. Communicate with them online.
5. Use your MySpace, Facebook, Blog and other websites that you use in order to promote yourself and your labels…be bold, you want people to know what you are doing
6. Create blog posts about artists that you like, link to your Stereofame pages, insert the Stereofame widgets on your website
7. A picture is worth a thousand words: why not use your camera to record a video about your favorite artist or label…or about yourself! Introduce yourself to the world.
8. Email a few friends and ask them to join the site and vote for your music. If you are a musician, include your Stereofame homepage in all your fan communication and in your email signature.
9. Add your tip here!
10. And here! If you’ve been using Stereofame, share your ideas on how promote great new indie music and how to win prizes…

*Drinking beer while using Stereofame may be illegal in certain jurisdictions. Check your local laws.

I’ll be curious to see how many bands do the same thing – especially when the new SF website is up and artists can start selling their tracks.
