Newbie looking for advice on social network for bands (myspace, quote)

tonyletigre · 01-29-2009, 07:01 PM

I hope I'm posting in the right place.

I despise myspace, so I am looking for a social site for musicians/bands. I am looking for one that streams the music to listeners, has minimal features concerning messaging and blogging, and is entirely music orient. Muxtape is the exact design I hope for, but it is not open to the public yet.

I REALLY want a place I can just share my music with as I am creating it in the livingroom studio in hopes of critique and laughs.

Anyone know of a place? This place is the only populated music site I have found thus far. And it's a very cool joint, might I add.

As much as it sucks, myspace still really is the best place for a wider audiance. I havn't found a place that can even compete with it. You can try facebook but still has the same issues as myspace.

Well, I think you're in the right place!
Also, as everyone else is saying, Myspace and Facebook really are the greatest sites right now,

last.fm pretty much offers exactly what you want tbh.

^This.

Except Last.fm does have a lot of options for interaction with other users, but it's definitely not the central focus of the site.

myspace and youtube are the obvious choices, but yea I agree they are too broad.
A new site that came out has a growing and active community you should check it out
plugmysongs.com
this is the site in my sig and it's based mainly on the music with minimal social networking. I think this is what you might be looking for.
