Every now and then I get an e-mail from a band listed on SoCalRocks.com in reference to not getting any bookings through SoCalRocks.com. Since I have just recently gotten a few e-mails like this, I'll take a moment to educate everyone on what the purpose of SoCalRocks.com is, and also what it is not.

SoCalRocks,com’s primary focus is not to get bookings for bands. There are many other sites that do that (for a fee), such as www.gigmasters.com. SoCalRocks.com’s primary focus is to let fans of live music know where to go to see good local bands play. This helps the fans, which in turn helps the bands by bringing more thirsty people to your gigs, which in turn helps the venues by allowing them to sell drinks to quench the thirsts of those same people. That, in turn, helps the bands again by making the venue happy with your turnout and making it more likely that they will hire you AGAIN. But, getting hired in the first place is up to you. Rock on!

In case you did not already notice, SoCalRocks.com added a new feature to the Artist and Venue profile pages at midnight on May 1st. A 'page views' count has been added that displays the number of page views since the counter was activated (on May 1st, or later for artists or venues added since then). The view counters are somewhat intelligent in that you cannot just keep refreshing the page to increment them. Rather, you have to actually leave that page and exit the site or at least view another artist/venue page to reset it before it will add another count. Artists and venues can now see how busy their own page is by watching their counter go up.

For all of my fellow musicians and singers out there, you HAVE to see this video of this little Korean kid still in diapers singing Hey Jude. He looks barely old enough to talk, and he is really good. Click HERE to view it.
