After a few false starts I have hired a developer that will work on coding the site. He anticipates the new site will be ready in about a month or so. We’ll say October 1, 2006. The developer has done a bunch of music sites so I’m excited about it again. The site will be pretty much the same as it is now with a new look and feel and the addition of MP3’s for each band, a store for bands to sell stuff and an agent program. Stay tuned for more details. The general design can be seen here. |

Not that we went to a mountaintop to get the information – or that we got the information from any Divine Source (unless, in the words of that old graffitum proclamation, you still think Eric Clapton is God) – but stone tablas and the parting of various bodies of water aside, here are the Musician’s Ten Commandments. |

Straitedge Buddhist Strippers—Portland, OR Straightedge Buddhist Strippers combine elements of roots punk, indie garage rock, and American power pop. SBS joined the Local Band Network in May 2006. Honestly, they were first chosen as a featured band because I loved the name but when I listened to their samples I was truly impressed. Check them out at their next show. |
