Ep. 93: How Emperors Night Grew Their Band and IG Following with Free Car Washes in LA

Emperors Night is a band from New Zealand that sold everything they owned, moved to LA and washed cars for free, all to grow their band and business from scratch. This isn’t a story from the past either, they’re still doing this every day and won’t stop until they make it! Tune in for one of the most interesting and unique stories I’ve ever heard of a band doing everything they can to promote themselves and chase their dreams.
