In the modern day and age everything in indie music has changed. No longer do bands seem to have to trawl through waves of gigs, supporting people they don’t like in venues they’ve never heard of. Every indie stormtrooper seems to think that all they need now is a digital 8 track (DIGITAL - when I was a lad…) and a MySpace page.
Please god let the pain stop.
MySpace is full of bands who make records no one wants to hear.
Take glasgow alone you have:
- Dead City Radio - rubbish
- Hey Princess - yep another group of lads and lasses who would be better off investing in getting a job rather than a new guitar.
My mate made some songs up for a laugh, when he was drunk, put them on a MySpace page and people listened to them - and then used them in online radio shows! I’m trying to find it but can’t - it probably got kicked but as I avoid MySpace like the plague it could be why. But for some, strange reason, it seems that many people like it. Go figure. Next I’ll be buying a record by the Ninja Death Monkeys painting my shoes yellow and adorning them with stickers.
