			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the first of a series of posts featuring music analytics for artists who are playing at South By South West.</p>
<p><strong>Band of Skulls</strong></p>
<p>This Southampton formed three-piece have been making a lot of noise across the pond. Check out this chart that shows the the top locations for the bands followers on MySpace.</p>
<p>Austin comes in at 7th place for social network fan locations, so South by South West should be a good gig.</p>

<p>The next chart is a good visualisation of where people have been downloading the latest Band of Skulls Album &#8211; <em>Baby Darling Doll Face Honey</em> using Bittorent, as you can see &#8211; they are pretty popular in the USA on Bittorent too. Maybe some of those people will attend the gig ?</p>
