Myspace?

Beaumanoir - loving the music! Where abouts are you playing in Edinburgh? I might be down there at that time anyway, and if so I'd love to come and see you playing, great style you've got going on!

Its good to share your tunes. http://www.myspace.com/sectarouge I notice that everyone here (like most places) is massively misusing the term "emo". Emo is a genre of music and is a shortened term for "Emotional Hardcore" which is a genre that has been around since the post-punk era of the 1980s. The "emo" kids, if thats what they want to call themselves, wouldnt know a real emo band if it hit them on their newly pruned-and-dyed head. Bands with slanty fringe haircuts and girls jeans are not "emo". But I fear this is going to be ignored. Real Emo bands include: Envy Orchid Saetia City of Caterpillar Daitro Etc. Sorry to rant just a pet-peeve. Thing is I'm not even a massive fan of the genre, just of its most quality exponents and silly aggro teenagers are dragging its name through the dirt.

I see you're doing a gig in Aberdeen this month - might come and check it out. I agree with Beaumanoir; the last song there definately has a SOAD influence to it, quite catchy, and I heard a bit of Bungle in the first song to! Interesting stuff!

So, is there something special I need to do to create a band profile?

If there is not, what should I fill in as the first and last name etc.?

Yeah I know but I like to stereotype people

I listened to your music, not really my thing but I liked it! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

It's going to be case sensitive, so ozgod will bring up something other than what OZGOD will bring up.

From what I've heard it's basically a place for angsty EMO teens and I've been shown some pretty hilarious profiles of people who take them selves way too seriously. However, somewhere, someone said that it is a great place for bands/artists to spread their music and recently I found out that some friends of my friends had actually gotten record deals abroad because of their profile. Does anyone have any personal experience with this kind of thing? The thing being band profiles on Myspace and what it has done for their careers?

It's the second most popular destination on the net apparently.
