Musicadium Blog

We here at Musicadium are regulars on Myspace, and as a result have seen countless Myspace profiles; the good, the bad and the ugly. To avoid offending anybody, here are our picks for the best Myspace profiles:

Alba Varden are a rockin’ 4 piece from Melbourne, Victoria, and have a very cool “Alice in Wonderland” theme going on with their profile. Top it off with possibly the coolest band photo in existence, and you get one eye catching Myspace. Take the red pill and climb down the rabbit hole here:

Its important that a band’s Myspace profile matches their aesthetic, and alternative indie-poppers Fushia’s does just that. With its comic inspired black and white background and quirky section headings, its a perfect blend of colour and fun. Get distracted here: http://www.myspace.com/wearefushia

With a new name, new sound, and a new Myspace, Starlight Theatre (nee Falling Short) have created a beautiful, slick Myspace without sacrificing functionality (bands take note!) What really sets this profile off is the amazing colour scheme, which really reinforces the interstellar vibe the band have going on.

This edgy profile is actually for a Brisbane based Booking/Management company called AMG Entertainment. The black and red colour scheme, along with the scary looking speakers helps provide a very strong brand, something that is important for both companies AND bands. Check it out with the lights on here: http://www.myspace.com/amg.entertainment

The final Myspace profile up for showing comes from Brisbane boys Ellington. Their profile has a charming simplicity, and once again is an excellent example of a Myspace that mirrors a band’s music. Its warm, brown/beige canvas texture is offset by splashes of colour, and is the perfect backdrop for their indie rock stylings. Feel like a big hug? Go here: http://www.myspace.com/ellingtonrock

If you feel like your Myspace is tired and you’re looking for some creative inspiration, these five profiles are an excellent place to start. Remember, nobody likes a copycat, so grab some ideas and go wild! Here’s one we prepared earlier…
