In case you hadn't already, have a look at HarpNinjas Band website. It really is a model in marketing and presentation. They have everything: an elaborate band description, booking info, impecable design, latest news,... and whatnot. I just sent the address to my friend as a model showcase of how to professionally present your band.
Very impressive...
C'mon Mike, who's the webdesigner, who's the marketing/business expert in your team? These guys are no amateurs...

OMG! Thanks!!!
To be honest it is bad need of a major update. Our drummer does all that...the posters and other graphics too. I do everything else. And I mean everything. if I could update the site I would. Our album just went through tunecore so more will be out soon.
In fact we are transitioning to Mike Fugazzi and NiteRail this June since 1.) I do all the work and 2.) I gain more name recognition for my efforts 3.) Unique selling point.
Ignore the playlist on the site, please.

I never got the rest of the site laid out well, but here is the description of my band from MySpace. I had fun writing it...
Born in 1413, Johnny Duivette was the toast of Paris, until Dutch farmer Marcel Van Guilderland humiliated him in a piccolo duel. In disgrace, Johnny traveled to America, where he took it upon himself to repopulate the densely populated Hudson River Valley with his faithful goat, Horace.
Johnny first met Michael LaMontain through a gay personal that Michael had inadvertently placed. After an innuendo laced conversation about piccolos, Johnny realized that Michael had wanted to place an add in the Musicians Wanted section instead.
The band still needed something. Johnny decided it was a good cellist. Johnny contacted his good friend Mozart, who recommended his own brother, Ricardo. However, Ricardo was already playing cello for Metallica. Mozart then recommended his other brother, Darryl.
Michael and Darryl founded the band & promptly asked Johnny to join as well. Johnny dusted off his piccolo, which hadn't been used in years, and they started down la route à la fortune et à la renommée.
Nathan Smith met the band while retrieving his underwear from the stage after their first concert. In short order, the band informed him they had been seeking a talented lyricist but they'd take him in the meantime. The restraining order was lifted and Nathan accepted the invitation, crying like a small child trapped in the body of balding, middled aged, angry, hopeless man.
Hen Benderson, master poultry salesman, briefly played with the band, but he stole Johnny's goat Horace, who died in a terrible prank gone wrong. Hen was traded to The Beatles for a bass player to be named later....
After leaving the Jackson 7, Jeff Jackson met the band & introduced the novel concept of music to them. There was much confusion.
It was at this point Johnny realized that his piccolo was not in fact part of the percussion group, finally explaining his humiliation in Paris all those years ago. Micheal discovered that his guitar was not a dental floss holder. His playing improved, but his breath suffered. Nathan discovered a loophole in the Geneva Conventions that meant that as long as wind came out of his mouth, and only his mouth, he was not committing war crimes, although it was still considered torture for him to sing at an enemy that did not have a clear line of retreat and artillery fire to drown out his voice. He promised not to use his voice on civilian populations and was finally allowed to travel abroad.
After an industrial glue accident left truck driver Jonathan Charon with a bass stuck to his hands, the band capitalized on his misfortune and his failure to find a job as a superhero, and plugged him into the band as a go-go dancer. As time went by and The Beatles failed to hold up their end of the bargain for the infamous bassist to be named later, the band reluctantly allowed Jonathan to play with the group. Damn you, Paul McCartney and your no trade clause!
Brian Gifford continues to claim publicly that he was once a member of the band, although he never shows up for the practices. The band cryptically hints that if his Chocolate Labrador Hershey is fact real chocolate, or that he brings chocolate to band practice, or any food for that matter, they'd probably take him back.
Shannon Grant hasn't actually been told she's in the band, but she is likely to find out when she reads this bio. Congratulations Shannon!
