For well over a year I have been encouraging bands to start their own blogs. I even started this blog to give advice on how to start one and what to do once it’s up. So it gives me great pleasure to see two of my most beloved bands listening to my advice.

The Upsidedown and Saturna. I have worked with both bands on and off over the last four years. I’ve watched them go through band members, image changes and recording records that take years. Now, I get to see them be some of the first bands to embrace the new world and start their own blogs. And they are doing a marvelous job with them!

The Upsidedown - This blog is not only gorgeous, but reflects the personality of the band to a tee. I know everything about them (well, I like to think I do) and still, I want to see every page. Fantastic job guys.

Saturna - A simple, clean and informative blog. They are smart about how they structure their headlines (always using their name - good for search engine optimization) and the content in their post. Lots of links, photos and thank yous! Brilliant!

If you are in a band and are still not sure of how to jump into the blogosphere - use these bands as examples. They are doing it right.
