We’re delighted to note that at some point on 29th December our MySpace page passed the 1000 views mark.
We have no idea whether that’s impressive or not, but it gave us the same warm feeling as when the first person ordered a copy of A Head of Steam through our official website.
What that does mean, though, is that since 7th November we’ve averaged around 19 or 20 page views per day, and that’s without any advertising or promotion, and without sending friend requests to people we’ve never met.
If you’re reading this and haven’t yet sent us a request, do so now!

Visitors to our MySpace page will have noticed that we’ve started a regular blog on that site. It’s updated more often than this site (which will still carry the most important news) and is a combination of informative insights and random ramblings. You can view it here:

Yet another link for you. If you’ve got a couple of minutes, we’d be grateful if anyone would write a review:

Hmmm… Perhaps we’ll embed that player into our MySpace page, making instant downloads possible. It seems a little, well, “wooly”, though.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to use our music on their website, please do – as long as you don’t upload it yourself (use our m3u files or Myspace player). Just remember to tell us (we’ll link to you), and include a link back to our site.
A Google search revealed this to us, and we can’t tell you quite how surreal it felt to lay eyes on this:

Meanwhile, we’ve appeared on PayPlay:

And, finally, have you ever heard of RateYourMusic? It appears that one kind user going by the name of peecee has created a profile on us! There’s no details yet, but if anyone wants to finish it off, feel free:

Of course, we could do it ourselves, but wouldn’t that be cheating?
We had absolutely no control over this, but it appears that ringtones of all of our songs can be bought from GroupieTunes:

We aren’t members, so we can’t test them, but let us know how you get on.
