Please check out our Facebook page - and POST YOURS!

I spent a few minutes creating a Facebook page for my band this morning, including some video/tunes, and have been massively pleased with the response in such a short time. Please have a look and let us know what you think. Don't forget the "like" button if you dig it!

How many of you use this medium for promotion and staying in touch with fans? Post 'em if you got 'em.

^^^ Wow, that's how to do it alright - most impressive. I'll be totally impressed if we can get up to anywhere near there in 18 months time. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

I like the picture, bassybill

Here's mine - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tensio...k/353930008470

Set up in May. I'd love to get some kicker "Likes" from TBers and be happy to click em to help the cause. I think to a some degree, buzz helps build.

Here's mine: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Ba...d/338455212874 and http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Ba...app_2405167945

We use this in conjunction with our regular website, http://www.backonearthband.com and our Reverbnation page: http://www.reverbnation.com/backonearthband

I haven't really aggressively promoted the pages, as we aren't interested in playing every weekend. Once a month is plenty for us.

Thanks, Jack. Got you too.

Good stuff. I like your clips. Classic Rock, as advertised.

Great start for one month.
