Instead, I'll tell you how using Google can help bands...for free
FREE FREE FREE
Blogger - All bands need to have a web presence...whether it be myspace managed by your 13 year old sister or a site your bassist created in the back of the van while on tour (both would be even better). Blogger is easy because it provides templates for you, so you know it won't look like crap, and the WYSIWYG editor (your piece of tech lingo for the day) makes writing a piece of cake.
Google Analytics - Put Google Analytics on your site. It will give you tons of info - including where your visitors are coming from. Then, you can book a show there.
Google Earth - Map out your tour with Earth.
AND OF COURSE...
YouTube- Make a ridiculous video, like, I dunno, treadmill dancing?
And post it. Then, over 9 million views, a 100 spot move up on Billboard, and a performance on the Today Show later, maybe Gary Lightbody will call you up and ask you to tour with Snow Patrol.
Other things you can do...
Wikipedia Yourself - Make sure your band has an entry on wikipedia...and make sure it's at least a little legit.
iTunes - Get your cd on iTunes, and make everyone and their mom review it. Then, make an iMix with 8 well known bands and 3 songs from your band.
