Last night I witnessed the power of Myspace first hand. Birds of Wales played a show at a place called the Lula Lounge. First off, its a salsa club, Latin music, so its pretty much the anti Birds of Wales venue, since we play “indie pop rock”. To make things worse, we played with a (very talented) Calypso band. Not to mention the horrible weather, snow, slush, cold… etc etc.
However, despite everything that was against us, and everything that we expected (we expected the night to basically be a dive), we still managed to pull almost 20 people to the show. Half of which were friends from our MySpace account. SIMPLY AMAZING.
These are people who have heard our music on MySpace.com and decided, hey these guys are good enough to pay 6 bux to go and. If you ask me, that is freaking awesome. Kudos to them for being awesome people, and we appreciate everyone who came out.
Please, if you dont already have a MySpace account, go join, and spend 30 minutes on there searching for people or music groups that you like, and add them. Its a pretty cool resource and a great networking tool.
