Small town in bible belt of Texas. Not a lot of Clinton / Gore supporters.
And we electronically track them like the child molesters they are.
Just kidding man ...
We tried Bandvista.
I was not impressed and felt our own page did better for us, though now defunct due to the direction & name change. We have a new site but as of now it's just a logo wall. Until we have some recordings and other content ready to go.
P.S. Love the picking in your videos ... and the tiger paintings.

Thanks for giving me a listen. I am grateful for that. I just finished setting up the first draft of my bandvista website, and, I regret to say, I too am not very impressed. Hundreds of styles to choose from? Hardly, there were 30 styles to choose from and a lot of them were the same 'style', different color. Also, even though they claim to give you a gig of storage, you are limited to a file size of 10 megs. Anyone know how to get a vid to 10 or less megs, without spending hundreds of dollars on an adobe program? I don't. And why the limit? Does that go away when you start to pay? If you get a gig of storage, why give a rip how many files you divvy that up to? The best I've been able to do was 11 megs by re-downloading my YouTube files, but YouTube only let me download two files, then the option disappeared. YouTube, BTW, has a file size limit too (15 megs, I think, though not sure), but with YouTube the file is scaled to the proper size when you upload. It would have been nice if bandvista did that too.
The bandvista site is at
http://TheGuitarpicker.bandvista.com
I do admit, I like the style I chose, but that doesn't let them off the hook for claiming to have 'hundreds' to choose from. Unless you get more after the trial. If this nets me a paying gig, then I'll be happy, otherwise it's a disappointing waste of time.
I need a vocalist as I do not sing. I have a killer set list and really need to get out there performing.
If you get the chance to check out the vista site, I'd be happy to hear you opinions. Thanks again!

In any case, you can link directly to the youtube videos you post there, or embed them with some html code.
i'm not too familiar with Bandvista, but I read up on the price paid (14 bucks a month?) for only 1 Gig of space?? Only 5 email addresses? Frankly, that's ridiculous. But I guess the selling point for them is it's likely tied to bandmix in some search capacity, and as funky as this site is (from a functional perspective), it gets tons of hits due to their continual advertising.
In any case ~ good luck with that. If I had time, I'd write a real musician's resource site. There don't seem to be many out there worth their weight in salt in terms of what musicians really need. Reverbnation I think would the be closest, but they lack home page customization.
oh - I take that back.
http://www.reverbnation.com/band-promotion/web_site
but even the free Reverbnation site gives you 8Gigs of space. 100 gigs for 16 bucks a month. That's a little more reasonable.
Cheers.
