I agree with many of the points about Myspace and it’s limits. It is a good presence but should not be the only source news, blog posts, etc. Very good article tho. I got some good ideas from it. Keep up the good work.

We have a myspace page yes–we do not do any marketing through it nor do we use it as a source of marketing.

A couple people have said it above, but completely quitting myspace and taking your page down is probably not the best idea. It’s still the go-to place for a lot of people to find and stream band’s music. It should by no means be a band’s main source of music online or their hub for all fan interaction though.

Part true

But, MySpace gave me contacts with venues I didn’t know before, and they didn’t know about me also.
PS : what’s the MySpace icon on the right side of your page here ?

While I can definitely see some of your points, I cant completely agree with the article. Your right Myspace should not be the end all be all of your band promotions online, but there really is no reason why should abandon it completely.

Myspace provides a very convenient place for a band to post music, pictures, blogs posts and shows.

Your right, you can do everything you do on myspace outside of myspace, bottom line is if you really want to promote your band should be doing EVERYTHING you can to spread the word about your band on the interwebs.
