Top 4 things bands have put on their websites
1. Moby - Free music for free films
Haven’t tried this one, but a genius idea. Not everyone can compile something like the Garden State soundtrack, so it’s nice to see a well known artist providing something like this.
2. Foo Fighters - Tabs
It’s impossible to find decent accurate tabs on the internet, and I don’t remember the last time I saw sheet music in the shops. Not sure how official this is, but it’s linked to on their site so it counts.
3. Bruce Springsteen - Set lists
Why oh why don’t more artists do this?! People are forever looking for set lists on the internet, so compiling them on the artist website is a really handy reminder for the fans
4. Death Cab for Cutie - Band gear
Interesting to see what the band uses, even if it’s not especially useful (I would kill for a set of Ludwig drums with Paiste Series 20 cymbals, but a. I’m not good enough and b. I’d have to sell my family). Interpol’s list is floating around on Wikipedia, but isn’t on their site.
Any more favourites from band websites that you don’t tend to find elsewhere?
