“It replaced my need for porn,” shouted Brandt Huseman, front man for the Baltimore-based Americana and power pop sounding Pale Stars, as they neared the final song in their set last night at Iota Club and Cafe. He went on to instruct the crowd, (aka, the few who lingered with beer in hand quietly around the edge of the room) to visit the band’s MySpace page where they could hear more of their tracks online, and hopefully even add them as a friend. While it might be a while before this revolutionary means of musical promotion overtakes the online porn industry, it’s definitely a great way for unheard up and coming bands to reach out and make a name for themselves. And like MySpace, it was in fact via another online unsigned music endorsing website, Alternative Addiction, where this DCist first became hooked on the drug known as Granian.
