Sad Skelton

I often Google (yes it’s a verb) our band name to find out if there is anything out there about us that I don’t know about (admit it, you Google yourself too!).

Today when I did it there were a couple entries that sparked a smile, and not because they were gushing about us.  The first one had the title “Sad Skelton is forced out of Cole fight“.  I don’t remember being lined up for any fight.  Reading the article a little deeper revealed Matt Skelton (no relation) had been forced out of a fight because of a viral infection.  What are the odds.

Then the second was even better.  Our first descriptive bad review.  They made sure to get our name right (Sad Skelton…yes Skelton) which I appreciate.  I particularly liked the description of our style.  “…a bunch of skinny guys playing guitars and taking turns singing inspired lines about shining plus some lackluster synth junk“.  I don’t think we’ve ever had a review that descriptive!

It really isn’t new but it seems new to me.

First I’d like to say thank you to all those who came out to our show at the museum this past Friday.  The show was a huge success from all angles and we enjoyed showing off our new stuff to everyone.

One thing I didn’t really expect (although I don’t know why, I do work as a web designer) was that the social networking aspect of promoting a band is the best way.  I say that somewhat in a selfish way.  Normally I was the one doing most of the promotion for our shows, marketing and general image.  However within hours after us playing at the museum there were videos posted on our Facebook page.  So cool, a better angle than our camera was getting and someone else did the work of posting it!

All that to say I think it’s really cool and want to encourage anyone who has photos or video of us playing to post it to our Facebook page.  Of course that is if you liked us.

So fun to see videos show up when you Google “Sad Skelton”.
