		<description><![CDATA[Robin Davey offers sound advise on growing your band&#8217;s fan base on Facebook in his post on Music Think Tank. As I suspected, my foray into marketing your band online, has lead me to some great findings. It&#8217;s particularly interesting that we&#8217;ve moved from anyone giving a hoot about the inane aspects an artist&#8217;s life [...]]]></description>
