Maybe make the background white.

The background picture you have fades to white at the edges and it doesn't fill my screen. So it looks a bit out of place fading to white and looking like a box in the gray background.

info that scrolls over a static background image is almost always annoying to the viewer. Turn your logo into a pattern that is small and dark enough that ALL type/fonts are ALWAYS visible. Having to wiggle the mouse wheel to keep reading is never a good thing. Other than that, it looks pretty good, especially considering that most myspace band pages look like they were constructed by someone on crack, or Homer Simpson. Remember his web page?

Seriously though, lose the image up top, or get a better one.

As a web designer for a living, the image up top needs to go, and it's not just the brightness of it. The guys on the left of the picture and in the center look like they just got hired for the shoot and that's it. The sun in the middle is also distracting as it draws attention away from the band. Also, and this is merely a cropping/editing detail, but the white on the right side of the picture needs to go.

Agreed. The guy on the left looks a bit uncomfortable and the guy in the middle looks a bit like this:

Whenever I see a thread by this guy I always think "didn't this tool get banned?"
Then I realize that the other guy with this username had underscores.

Nothing to do with your page, and I know you didn't ask, but that name is horrible.
Just MHO of course...
I mean, I'm not even sure how its pronounced.

Dude. Seriously, lose the background image. It's extremely distracting, makes the page hard to read, and isn't nearly as cool as you think it is.
