I remember 10 years ago (or so) I used to visit all the bands sites every few weeks just to see any news. I didn't go to FB, I didn't go to Blabber, it was straight to the band's site. Now days you can't even rely on a news link to be updated. If a band didn't have a website I understand there is a cost that might be prohibitive but most of these bands have websites already paid for, it should take 5 minutes max to update a news link. Then once traffic is there remind them of the shop etc. It's weird they don't push such and idea.
