Two other SA bands on Twitter are @parlotones and @Freshlygroundsa. And if The Dirty Skirts get onto Twitter, someone had better tell me, okay? #fangirl

Thanks for the comment, Saul.

I’ve heard a few awesome conversions from SA bands. It’s a great way for local artists to expand their online footprint.

As I mentioned in the post, the success in using Twitter will come from the conversations and not the numbers, in my opinion. I hope to see it working more and more for South African bands.

I’d be intrigued to know what kind of conversions they have received. How many people have gone to a gig or discovered these bands via Twitter. Would be interesting
