My Band...App-soultely!

My Band, the latest in Facebook apps has been voted best app for musicians. As a budding publicist I have to agree. The use of My Band the powerful social networking tool is only an advantage to unsigned artists who seek an online presence. Linked to Reverbnation, the My Band app allows artists to import their Reverb profiles into their facebook fan pages, and even includes their Facebook fans as a part of their Reverbnation profile fans.

So why is this good? In a word, EXPOSURE. The My Band app makes is super easy to listen to artists songs without downloading, it also allows you to view their photos, blog, and complete reverbnation profile. Bands can expect an increase in fan size and more opportunities for press coverage (it gets hard to ignore you if you have thousands of fans). 

So while Myspace is helpful and an official Facebook Fan page is a must for anyone serious about social media marketing, the Reverbnation My Band App is a necessity for any upcoming band/artist app-solutely!
