When Friends And Family "Unlike" Your Band's Facebook Page
Haven't proof-read this, and I'm not going to do it today, so I apologize for any grammatical mistake or instance of broken English.
How would you feel to discover that people who you thought were supporters of your band at one point have "unliked" your band's Facebook page? I'm not sure if this is something that every musician experiences or if it's just particular to me, but I won't assume I'm just that special. Either way, I can only talk about how it feels to me. It's a weird experience that triggers mixed emotions, and it depends on each case, but generally I feel a little disappointed, almost like when you unexpectedly find yourself unfriended by someone you like. In both cases, I don't let it bother me, though, I just try not to think about it too much, it's just Facebook, the cyber world, it's not real life. Obviously, I have thought about it enough to write this blog.

WITHOUT YOU WE'RE NOTHING - Being In An Indie Rock Band
If I asked you what do you think being in an indie rock band is, I would imagine some of you might say you think it's a fun hobby in which you meet with your friends to play and write music, perform live once a week or so, have a few followers and admirers, probably get laid every once in a while, and make an extra couple hundred of bucks a month. I think this would be the general idea for someone who's not too familiar with the music scene, and maybe it does describe how it is for some indie musicians out there, but my experience couldn't any more different. Being in a band is extremely rewarding to me but for very different reasons. When you take music as seriously as I do, being in a band is no different than any other job, a job that you love, that is.
