Reminds me of when I was trying to search for the then-new Madonna song “Music”.

Search: Madonna + Music = frustrating millions of hits (and including “new song” modifier = no help).

I wonder if bands like The Vines or The Hives (or other one-word namers have received similar feedback.

how I would do it

If you give it a couple of days, Google probably links to this page et… voila! :-)

Adam: Good effort.

Arthur: Good lateral thinking, actually. I’ve never actually monitored how soon a page from this site is indexed. Hmmm…

[Reply]

Ow. Is a different messageboard.
’site:ca band stars music’ links to a usefull page which has a link to ‘paperbagrecords.com’ which looks like there label.
Now, that wasn’t that hard, was it? ;)

Funny: I ran into the exact same problem today.

I saw online a rather nifty animated video by a a musician who goes by the name of “Never.”

The song’s called “The Dream.” It features some cool robots, and was filmed in Vancouver. There are no lyrics in the song. Can you find this artist?

It took me 20 minutes, and I’m usually a quick Googler.

Proving to me once again, Darren, the brilliance of either “Hey That’s Not Your Goat,” or “T-Bones and Overflow.”

Ahh, the memories.

Ali: I wonder how you’ve concluded that I’m ‘complaining’? If you re-read my post, you’ll note that I describe their song as ‘great’ and ‘liked their combo male/female vocalists and Meatloaf-esque pretensions’. I went on to display my ‘arrogance’ by dismissing my own point as ‘nothing, really’. It’s also odd that you would connect ‘burn[ing] the midnight oil counting page visits’ with arrogance. To me, it sounds like a desperate lack of confidence.

As you may know, I’m in marketing, and have an arts background. So, I’m interested in how bands market themselves, particularly online. I’m not going to apologize for noting that a commonly-named band hoses itself in Google. Nor am I going to apologize for not discussing Stars in more depth or praiseful terms–I’ve only heard two songs.

Speaking of arrogance, how would you characterize wanting to exclude others from sharing in ’some fantastic music’? That sounds a lot like that first-cousin of arrogance, elitism.

OK!

I googled with the following

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=canadian+bands,+stars&spell=1

and got a link to a band review… no better.

Which brings me to one of my favourite bands “The Music”. Try googling that!!

BTW: the actual URL is http://www.themusic.co.uk/go/home/

Using the Google query
“Canada band Stars”,
this was my first return:
http://umusic.ca/stars/index.php

It looks to me like probably them.

I had this problem when I tried to look up a band called “The Music.”

I recently discovered Stars and decided to look into them a bit more. Of course, I first came upon this blog, and thought, Oh, a challenge! Naturally, being the competitor I am, I gave it a shot.

Given, this is over a year later and Stars may not be as obscure as they once were, but I searched for “stars band website”, and the site you mentioned was the first one to appear (I’m assuming it’s still their official website?). As an aside, your own website was found using the query “stars band”, in case you were curious. I thought it was somewhat humorous, hence the reason I’m commenting on a post that’s so long been published, also in case you were curious.
