screaming fans
This is approximately a month late, but newcomers probably do not realize that the band's "official" website celebrated its' first anniversary during the month of April.
This site -- much the the band, was a little "slow" coming out of the starting gates; the band was in its' developmental stage for about 2 years before we took to the stage. 2 years is a very long time in the life of a band -- even at the best of times. The site, for much of the year, received very little promotion, and thus, very little traffic. Much of those who passed by came to us via a Google search, and many of them came from Maine, whom were looking for some other band of a very similar name.
[ed. note: if you are the competitor, have no worries; we currently have no plans to venture into the United States market in the short or long-term].
Web traffic the first year has been slow, in some months, when the band was not even gigging, the site was managing less than 20 visits per month. This is changing -- and site traffic is on the rise ever since we opened our official Facebook page. We are now pleased to announce that we expect to be getting nearly 100 visits for the month of May -- and our traffic only to rise from there as we continue to promote the band.
As I have mentioned before, there are a number of exciting new developments that will take place in the coming weeks. One is a major recording project I am in the middle of. The other requires this site to migrate to its' own domain. We hope to have these new features available to the public by the next time we gig.
For those who have been with us since the beginning, thank you for your support. For our newly acquired fans and friends, we hope you stick around. We have a mandate to continually improve our abilities, equipment, and repertoire with each performance.
I, for one, am very excited to see what is to come for the band in the next 12 months.
