The Low Lows Hit New Highs with LimeSpot
NEW YORK & AUSTIN, Texas-(Business Wire)-March 11, 2008 - Fans of the psychedelic Americana band The Low Lows all have something in common. They want more of The Low Lows' gut-wrenchingly poetic lyrics and gritty guitar noise. They want more Low Lows' music, videos, photos, and news. And they want to connect with other Low Lows fans. Today the fans got what they want, with the Low Lows debut on LimeSpot, a new social network that brings indie bands and their fans together.
The Low Lows' LimeSpot site at http://thelowlows.limespot.com keeps fans current with the band's happenings, and connected with other Low Lows lovers around the world. Fans can find tour dates, read biographies, browse discographies, and interact with band members and others fans. They can also buy songs from the Low Lows catalog on LimeWire Store, LimeSpot's virtual store front.
Since their debut on LimeSpot, The Low Lows' online traffic increased 18 times over. And their latest music video, "Dear Flies, Love Spider," has been streamed over 1,200 times—a 20 fold increase over the band's MySpace page. Band members are also taking advantage of the ability to give LimeSpot's 60 million users instant access to their repertoire, through the integrated LimeWire Store.
"LimeSpot gives indie artists everything they need to market their music online," says George Searle, CEO of Lime Wire LLC. "It's all about bands connecting with fans, and fans connecting with each other. And by accessing LimeWire's huge user base, LimeSpot can boost artists' promotion and sales. It's no wonder that a number of bands have already signed on since the Low Lows debut, including Scissors for Lefty and Virginia Coalition."
With LimeSpot, artists can quickly build a blog, Web site, event calendar, and more, as new features and tools are added daily. Bands can tap LimeSpot's suite of customizable themes and templates, or design a service from scratch using LimeSpot's built-in creative tools.
For fans who want to connect on LimeSpot, finding their favorite bands, communities, and music couldn't be easier. In addition to links in the LimeWire client, LimeSpot band sites will also appear on Google and other popular Internet search engines.
Once they find their band's LimeSpot site, fans will stay "in the know" by browsing blogs, biographies, discographies, tour dates, press coverage, photos, and videos. They can join message boards to chat with other fans, or comment on blog posts written by band members. And fans can listen to free tracks and buy albums of DRM-free MP3s, as well as concert tickets and merchandise through the LimeWire Store.
"LimeSpot stands out from other social networking music pages we've seen," says Naomi Weisenberg, Publicist for The Low Lows and Misra Records. "Thank to LimeSpot, outreach to both established and potential fans is simple and effective. When you look at the numbers—audience growth and interaction—it's clear that LimeSpot is an effective way for The Low Lows to have the broad reach that their music warrants."
