Band Members: Well, I used to produce the WTQ Live Music Series in the Boston area. Before that I launched an online music store (just MP3s) I closed it after every single indie artist that I had went to iTunes instead .. no hard feelings.. as a matter of fact I am now opening a new store. This time no single MP3s, just albums in uncompressed CD quality sound. yes via download.
