GIRL BANDS STRIKE A CHORD WITH FANS

Independent acts thrive on a high level of interaction

Many aspiring girl bands lack financial backing and promotion from a major record label or entertainment company, but this fails to dent their enthusiasm for performing.

They also have low budgets — paying for their own equipment, travel arrangements, meals and venue hire charges, among other expenses.

Performing much of their own music, they dream big in the hope of making a hit on the music charts.
