Why Are Myspace and Facebook Important for Local Bands?

My audio story focused on the importance of social networking websites for local bands.  In recent years, bands have had an easier time with networking and booking shows due to websites such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and much more.  For my audio story, I talked mainly about Facebook and Myspace because those are the two websites that have helped my band out in a big way since we formed.  I talked to two great local musicians, Owen McCusker and Mike Guzman, and got their opinion on the two websites and how it has helped their band out.  For more information on these helpful resources and to find out how local bands book their shows, you should check out my audio story here: http://tiger.towson.edu/~zwilso1/audio/audiostory.wav
