You've Got Messaging!

We now have Member to Member Messaging! Look for the "My Messages" area in the left hand column when you log-in to your "My Page".  Messaging was the most requested new feature by our Members.... So please keep the new feature request and feedback flowing freely via the Feedback page.   

And of course, our Messaging has flare! We hope you wouldn't expect anything less.  When you send a message you can add bands from your My Bands list to give your message the "wow factor".

Helping You Keep SXSW

To help SXSW fans we are working hard to add all of the bands playing at the event this year.  With hundreds of bands playing it's going to take us a little while to finish but if you want to help us out please add away.

Click the screen shot graphic below to see the bands we have added so far and check back as the list grows. 

By the way, if you haven't already found it here is a link to the SXSW schedule.

See you in A Town (Austin, Texas that is)
