Earlier today I downloaded Chromeo's latest album and decided to have a look at their website for tour dates. I'd never been on their website before and on first impressions I thought it looked cool - a kind of mishmash of images, which are all a bit cut and paste but come together to form a perfectly feasible composition - much like their music, which is a sort of electronic mishmash, with a funk undertone that comes together to sound...well...good! - but after exploring the website, the usability aspect of it just let it down. Everything you click opens in a new pop up window, which is slow (probably due to my internet, but surely a web designer should take this into account to a certain extent) and quite aggravating and it just didn't flow! It's a shame because I was expecting it to be a really good website. The album's definately better! (Chromeo - Fancy Footwork) Listen to that instead of visiting the website!

Yes, I can totally agree with you! What a annoyingly busy website...
Artists of today need to realise that the internet is the nr. 1 media they can use to communicate with their fans. Big bands (and smalller ones too) need a solid website with a proper forum, with images & videos and a FAQ section + weekly updates from band members. This will enable the band to catch, and keep, a whole bunch of fans.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing!
