MusicHawk Invites Music Fans to Share Their Top 10 Bands

Mountain View, CA, May 4, 2006 - MusicHawk, a music social network, invites music fans to join their growing online music community. “Our base-line mission is simple. We want every music fan in the world to tell us who their top 10 bands are. Our real-time charts are people powered so fans can really make an impact,” said Buddy Hawk, co-founder MusicHawk.

What can you do at MusicHawk?
•    Create a list of your favorite bands
•    See real-time charts that are completely powered by the collective taste of fans
•    Add your own favorite bands to the community
•    Invite friends to be part of your own private Music Social Network
•    Collaborate with members via public message boards and private messaging
•    View 10,000+ band profiles that are collaboratively built by community members
•    Find high quality links to online music magazines, stores and blogs

“Our members have been very generous to let us know what they like and don’t like about our beta service. That’s one thing we really like about being a small startup—we just ask our members what they want and we try to build it for them as fast as possible.” Hawk added.

What are people saying about MusicHawk?
•    “MusicHawk is one of those online music communities that could get really huge. So far we like what we are seeing and we’re glad to have them as a partner.” Matt Wishnow, founder of Insound
•    “I have a ton of friends who love the music of MySpace, but hate the hassle of it, which is why music hawk is so cool.  All music, no hassle.” Emily, MusicHawk Member
•    “It's a single stop to everything you'd want from a band. Instead of searching websites or blogs for videos, photos, and links for a certain band, MusicHawk has it down to a science - All of your needs are met on the single band page. Very nice feature...” Mike Slagor, music blogger

Make Your Mark on our Charts!

In case you haven't noticed, we have extended our charts to show the Top 50 bands! The MusicHawk Charts are 100% powered by our Members in real-time. Unaffected by payola or paid placement. Not driven by radio airplay or retail sales. So why is this cool? This means an unsigned garage band who hasn't even burned their first CD can rally the troops and make an impact on the charts. The magical end result is our charts are an ever-evolving eclectic mix of Unsigned, Indie, and larger bands. So if you don't like what you see, then join our growing community and make your mark!

To see the Top 50 look for the "see more charts" link on our home page:

As usual, we've got a cool twist that Bubba dreamed up. You can put your own list of bands next to the MusicHawk charts. This way you can see how tragically hip or lovingly un-hip you are.

Share Your Top Bands!

we have a really cool feature we think you're going to like. drum roll please...we've named it "BandBlobs". you can now add your top bands to your own website or blog. to see an example of how it looks I've posted my own BandBlob on the right hand side of this blog. also, ted with BAGeL Radio has one on his blog.

to start using your BandBlob login to your My Stage and look for the "Add to my website" orange button in the My Bands area and follow the easy instructions. enjoy!
