Many arguments can be made for how to set up a band’s website. Flash is popular with some bands, it looks cool. Thats fine for a band with a following and money to burn. What about indie bands looking for online popularity?

The first time you create a really great groove is a wonderful experience. The beats hot, the bass is hooking you in and you cant stop bobbing your head and tapping your foot. I have found a few general rules for getting that Groove to pop.
