Finding Your True Fans

I sat down with Sam and Billy Brouse, two brothers who play in the psychedelic electronic band Papadosio. As their bio states, Papadosio tours on a massive scale but maintains a close intimacy with their fans. This episode is exciting because so far I've only interviewed solo producers -- it's a bit of a different perspective being able to interview successful artists who are in a more traditional band configuration. Their story is very inspiring, because they're able to play large 1,000+ person venues as well as main stages at major festivals, all while never having been signed to a record label. They're a testament to the fact that if you're in a band of committed and talented individuals who bring different skills to the table, it's absolutely possible to build a fanbase with a combination of online outreach and heavy touring.
