MySpace has claimed yet another victim...or more precisely, victims.It appears as if a bored 13-year-old girl (who should also be described as "crafty") has been victimizing innocent hopeful bands by posing as a powerful record executive in order to lure them to her home in Los Angeles (for free concerts in her basement w/ food and soft drinks). One such victimized band was Fonix Cat, who describe themselves as a neopunk-country band from Kansas City.
From BBSpot.com:
Fonix Cat bassist, Davin McLeod said, "Her profile was called 'sonymusicexec', how were we supposed to know it wasn't legit. I guess we should've realized she was a fake when she promised us free studio time and said she loved our music."Emphasis mine...but that statement really says a lot, doesn't it? I mean, seriously, neopunk-country????
The article continues:
Additionally, an anonymous REAL record executive chimed in on the topic with some hilarious commentary:Online band predators are such a big concern that the RIAA has created a website warning bands about the problem. The site gives a few warning signals that bands should watch out for:
- If you think the record executive is a "nice person" then you aren't dealing with a real executive. It's common knowledge that all record executives are assholes.
- If the contract you're being offered seems "fair" then you're dealing with an online band predator.
"I'm not surprised. Most of these bands are as dumb as dirt. They'll fall for anything. Anyway, most record executives I know are posing as thirteen year old girls on MySpace. Ironic don't you think?"Rimshot please!

However, some of these genre's just sound like a band placed a few different varieties into a hat and drew a couple out. Neo-Punk Country?
What's next - Baroque-old-school-rap?
"Her profile was called 'sonymusicexec', how were we supposed to know it wasn't legit."
I think the question is, why the hell did you think it was legit? I have an idea, Fonix Cat; crossover to indie rock, bash Bush, go on a MoveOn.org tour, and voila, instant fanbase! You're gullible enough.
