Possible artists and bands.

My first possible artist is a young acoustic artist called Steve Luscombe from torquay devon. He would link to artists such as Jason Maraz, Laura Marling and The Kooks. A typical audience that would follow Steve would be people who like acoustic and mellow music as most of his songs are just acoustic with the exception of a few songs where he has a subtle drum beat in the background. He regularly play gigs at small venues generally acoustic night at bars such a rude bar in torquay. Rude bar is an indie underground bar, it regularly holds acoustic nights and indie nights where local bands and artists can play for free. The typical age range would be teenagers and young adults in their early twenties, this is due to the fact that this age range would typically see him playing at rude bar at jam night at rude. The lifestyle of the audience would tend to be generally similar as they they share the same love of music and going to gigs. Steve is currently creating a myspace page, therefore making himself available on web2.

My second option is a band called jet pack man, they are a four piece band from torquay devon. Hugh Reed (vocals) Tom Jones (drums) Alex Howard (bass) and Warwick Simpkin (guitar). Similar bands to Jet Pack Man are The Maccabees, The Kooks, The Foals. Their typical audience would be teenagers to young adults in their twenties, they would be able to access Jet Pack Man at various gigs, they play at many different venues like rude bar in torquay and plan b in torquay. Their audience would typically share the same interests like music and going to gigs. They currently are using web2 to promote themselves. By producing web2 pages they enable themselves to reach out to a wider audience. It also means that anyone can see there page therefore increasing chances of a larger fan base. The obvious adantages of Web 2 is that it is a cheap and easy method of advertising themselves. They have a few songs on their website, various photographs of gigs they play. The representation of the band is created to suit the genre of music through their dress code e.g. Long hair, skinny jeans typical indie clothing.
