that sounds like a good compromise. do you know of a way to target event invitations?
 
im not really sure, as i havent even had to send any event invitations yet..since ive been using it.

i got a question then for the people who are having sucess with it. say you have a friend list of 1000 people (i've been on there about a year and have about 100) so lets say I go crazy adding other bands' friends or whatever....and I have 1000 people on my friend list and now I am on tour trying to let them know about the date....say I sent an event invitation.... how do you hit only the people on your list that are in the city you are playing??? how do you avoid sending spam to the 80% of the people on your list that are NOT in that city and could care less that you're playing some dive bar in a few days? serious question..

It's not spam since THEY JOINED MySpace. No one forced them to. If they don't want event messages, then they should delete their account or remove you from their friends.
 
ok sure. but if they remove me then what is the point???

what I mean is if I were to send a message that says "playing NYC tomorrow night" and 90% of my list isn't in NYC...and I am doing this constantly, eventually I will lose my entire list....there's got to be a way around this.

Create a profile for NYC fans ;-)
 
^ i really dont think people are that uptight ...

everyone on myspace is used to getting promotional messages and comments

but you know if maybe 1 or 2 of those thousand people chose to remove you...hopefully youre still using myspace to find 100's more new potential fans for each of them.

Anyway, if someone would remove a band for promoting as long as its not Excessive and overly annoying....chances are they are not going to be supporters anyway.
 
we have been on myspace a little over two months ...we have 5600 plays in that time...have been on roughly 70 different podcasts...and are right now in the process of booking a 3 week tour up the entire western seaboard and looking at a month long tour of the UK ..all entirely through myspace..so i dont have many complaints. :)
 
^ if that isnt a glowing testimonial, i dont know what is.

Myspace should write you a check for that one..

but seriously..any minor drawbacks are pounded in the fricking ground and shat upon by the advantages

Extremely easy.... there are thousands of podcasters, check out this site below. Ask them to use your song. It's so easy, I'm sure they'll take fart sounds they need music so badly.

well at this point...im goin to take a shot at the music thing...i mean .,.you can sit around all day talkign about what you COULD have done ..or you can put your money where your mouth is ...which is what im doing ..im selling my house ..to help offset the cost of just going out and seeing what happens . :)

I couldnt find a band that was willing to do it so thats why I'm solo.

Ive given up everything for my music, and its great, Im heading over to Germnay later in the year to live and play music. Youve just gotta have some faith in your music.
 
I am happy to see that many here are going for it. You probably know I am as well, and I don't know if it's faith in my music or just sheer stupidity/ignorance, but it should be a fun ride.

haha, thats exactly right. I used to think "oh I'd better play it safe" but (and yes it is a cliche) but you do only live once, I'd rather live harder doing what I love than live like a king working at some soul destroying 9-5er
