This means on social networking sites such as Facebook and My space where a lot of teens can be found in the evening. It is more difficult for bands that are just starting out in the music business to make money but easier for them to find 49 . UKbands is a site devoted to new music, where it gives bands a chance to 50 their music across the web. So dig out your guitar and maybe you could be an Internet star.
