The Secret to Packed Shows (Hint: It's Not Big Names) | EF EP 119

Why do some artists pack rooms while others play to empty floors? It's not about follower count, label releases, or who you know. BINGEWATCH from Blind Tiger cracked the code - he built a brand so trusted that people show up before they even know who's playing.

In this conversation, we break down how he created LA's most reliable underground experience and what every artist can learn about building genuine fan loyalty. Whether you're playing other people's shows or creating your own opportunities, this is about becoming the artist people seek out, not just stumble upon.

Key Takeaways:

• Why your personal brand matters more than the venues you play or labels you're on
• How to build trust with your audience so they show up for YOU, not just the lineup
• The psychology behind creating anticipation and genuine excitement around your music
• Why most artists fail because they have no consistent identity or standards
• The difference between building community and just collecting followers
• Why Instagram metrics and streaming numbers don't guarantee packed shows
• How to create experiences people can't get anywhere else
• The art of setting standards that make people respect your brand
• Why consistency in quality beats viral moments every time
