Music + Promo hint

[cisum]

Hi! I'm a vocal/guitar of the band "Targetoy". We are registered users of www.artistnow.com. Check profile: http://www.artistnow.com/index.php?m=vp&a=1&id=11636

Here?s our story:

Well, we play somewhat a strange mixture of indie/funkcore. We are popular within our district rocking our friends? pants out on gigs! But it?s not enough for us!! So, we?ve registered to many sites providing promotion for bands. Nevertheless, it wasn?t much a success. After becoming users of ArtistNow we?ve got 17 gigs invitations during 1 (!!!) month! No doubt, this community is ok as well. But you simply need to check ArtistNow one! It?s worth visiting, believe me.

Best Regards,

Targetoy band

Wanna tell us some more about your band? got any links to your music or website?

[slum_goddess]

a quick look at artistnow shows they stress 'social networking.' is that how it works, how your band got more gigs? from referrals and audiences of friends of friends &c? however, good luck.

2 slum_goddess (thanx for wishing us good luck:))

Actually, they stress somewhat business networking. They have a on-line device letting memebers of the site send invitiation letters to each other. We've contacted several industry officials. They got interested. That is it. Actually, we were pleased (even a little bit shocked) with the thing how fast ve've got so many gigs invitations!

hmmm.... that link just takes me to a log in page... and I don't want to join just to browse... sorry... but best of luck anyway.

[cisum]

Yeah, you are right... Actually, there are some profiles that can be viewed by unregistered users (but not all of them). They are permanently changing as far as I understood. Yesterday my profile was available. Today it is not. Par me.

Nevertheless, if you got interested you can register to the ArtistNow database. Actually, there's nothing to push:) Currently they have free registration.

P.S. I've just sent the ArtistNow team the message with a request to make my profile viewable to all the Internet surfers. Waiting for a reply!

So, what do you think about this site?

[DudeAsInCool]

i like the idea behind it. but its a hassle to join just to to take a quick view at what they have... Hopefully, they wil take your good advice Cisum :)

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just this, but it seems like everthing needs registration. It just isn't practical to sign up for everything you just want to have a peek at.

So, what do you think about this site?

after getting the log-in page (but w/o the explanatory text i saw the other day), i clicked here. unless i'm missing something, it's just another showcase for unsigned bands &c. i would think they'd lose the sign-up thing to allow anyone to check out their stuff, but what do i know?
