Killer band websites on a starving musician’s budget

August 21, 2007 | 0 Responses

In this series, I’m going to tell you some different ways you can have a better website for your band. There are a lot of responsibilities to live up to and a lot things to do when a band is just starting out. This article is here to help you minimize the amount of things you have to worry about. Between promotion, getting gigs, writing songs, recording demos, whatever else, theres certainly more than enough to do. Bands that are just getting the ball rolling don’t need to worry about developing their website, let alone honing their skills at it. Spend more time practicing your music.

You probably don’t have the money to hire a webmaster, and you might not always have a buddy with mad development skills. So look no further if you’re in one of these predicaments. I promise you some short and easy reads that will help you get this thing out of the way.

Look to the skies tonight

 Look towards the North star tonight to see a spectacular show that comes around once a year.

Perseids, which look like shooting or falling stars, appear every August as Earth passes close to the Swift-Tuttle comet. Debris from the comet’s tail enters Earth’s atmosphere and the rocks give off light as they burn up.

Last year’s show was said to be something of a dissapointment. But if you can get far enough away from city lights and air pollution, you are in for one fantastic night.

Keep your eyes on the sky from 1 am Monday morning, to around 4 am where there is promised to be as many as 60 to 90 streaks per hour.
