Bio
or "Meet The Band" - the
story of your band. includes lineup changes, band
name changes, how you formed, where youmet,
embarrassing stories from your early days, etc.
text, and older pictures of the bandmembers in
there too. What do you
sound like? - Even if you put up
sound clips and MP3s, you need to give folks an
idea of your sound as soon as they hit your site.
One easy way is to compare your sound to other
bands that your visitors may have heard of... "Mariah
Carey crossed with Marilyn Manson" or
something like that. Or you can explain what
genre of music you fit into - or don't fit into...
are you gothic/ska? or folk/ambient/rockabilly?
or new-age/hip-hop? The more interesting
descriptions you give the visitor, the more
likely they are to check out your sound.
Photo Gallery
- This can include both posed publicity shots,
and pictures from live shows, rehearsals, and
whatever other kind of photos you've got. Maybe
you even want to include shots of the band at the
beach, or playing with their beanie-babies. A
really nice photo gallery will have thumbnails (a
tiny version of each photo) that link to the
bigger versions of each picture. Then the user
can browse through more easily, and doesn't have
to wait for one huge page with lots of pictures.
Discography - This
is a list of all recordings that the band has
released. Even if your band hasn't sold any CDs
or tapes or records yet, you can list things like
"Rehearsal Tape #37 - contains rare cover of
Ring of Fire." Have fun - puff it up!
Reviews -
You can either scan in reviews and put them up as
JPGs of GIFs, or you can type them in. Make sure
to credit the source and date of each review. If
the review was published online, just link to it.
If you haven't been reviewed, have your grandma
write a review - or your dog - or whoever!
Contact Info -
You may want to just give an email address for
your main contact, or you may want to give an
actual phone number or mailing address. It all
depends on what you're comfortable with.
