Welcome!

Welcome to Bands, Blogs, and Buzz, click on a band's graph to receive more detailed information.

We will be tracking various bands throughout the summer, checking to see which groups and artists manage to make good on all the hype they generate. Or to see who actually achieves a bit of notoreity. For example,very few people were talking about Perry Farrell prior to his SXSW show, where he showed up in a white and black Charlie Brown-esque sweater, shiny silver pants, and proceeded to tell the audience how much he loved us and would do unspeakable things to us if only he had enough time. It was truly a bizarre and somewhat surreal moment, but it made the number of people talking about Farrell jump from under ten to over fifty per day for over a week.

Currently, the majority of bands that we are following appeared at SXSW back in March, but leave us comments for bands you'd like to see here.

Also, check back to see how particular events affect a band, for example, Blonde Redhead has just released their new album, 23 - how many more people will start talking about the band?
