Recently, i was turned on to a great website that brings bands/musical artists and music fans together in a very grassroots way that is beneficial to both. check out Sellaband...
Sure wish i would have come up with this idea for a way to promote the symbiotic relationship that is inherent with musicians and fans while offering a viable business opportunity for both entities.
While it is true that the creators of Sellaband undoubtedly have strong business motivations of their own, this is a fantastic opportunity for music fans to promote artists that move fans via their musical talents and to be part of and to share in the band's/artist's financial success.
After spending some time exploring the many bands and musical artists participating in SellaBand's plan, i decided to become a "Believer" of Slim Void, a rock/pop band from Norway. i think Slim Void has lots of potential to make a successful life in the music industry. After signing on to support Slim Void in their quest for a chance at the "big time", i was pleased to discover that Dennis van Leeuwen, guitarist for Dutch band Kane, also heard something special in Slim Void and is signed on as a "believer". Kane is a band that i've followed since 2002 and have watched them rocket to success (albeit with hard work and dedication) in Europe. knowing that vanLeeuwen, who has worked his way up to success, supports Slim Void somehow reinforces for me that Slim Void stands good chance at making it to the big time....
So, check out SellaBand and Slim Void and, if you agree, sign on as a "believer" of Slim Void...
or any other band/artists that moves you with their music.
i know i'm looking into other bands to "believe" in :)
