OK. Here I sit in the US Midwest, minding my own business thinking “am I too old to bother with Twitter?” But I’m a geek, so I sign up and follow a few bands I like. Within 24 hrs; actually before I had even made my first tweet, I see that I’m being followed by hayleyjfoster in Australia. Who? Why? I haven’t even tweeted yet. Clever marketing, that’s why.
haleyjfoster’s most recent tweet was about a photo shoot for her as yet unsigned band, CHAINGANG. Turns out that we both follow Spinnerette and I imagine she considers her band similar and was using Twitter to introduce ChainGang to Spinnerette fans. It worked. A couple of songs were available for download, (see below) and while I’m not 100% on board with what they’ve done so far, I liked it well enough that I’ll keep following them and see how they progress. They’ve definitely got the right look.
And a few songs are available on their myspace page, and at Triple J Unearthed.
