Matt Sturm's fanbase expands!

Post by traumaqueen »

studies have shown that the latest demographic of Matt Sturm fans are "tween"age girls!

well, maybe not actual studies, but while listening to The Legendary Trainhoppers in my car this week an unsuspecting 10 year old girl was heard whispering in the backseat to her same-age companion:
"i think the guy that sings this song is named Matt Sturm. he's so cute. i saw him at the Three Rivers Festival. He's kind of famous!"

so, there you have it Matt- a bit of research for targeting your latest market demographic!

:wink:

As the famous a-hole boy band manager Lou Pearlman once said, "if you can grab the tween girls as a fan base, then you WILL rise to the top". Those little chicks hold a lot of power when it comes to popularity and marketability.

They made me change the sign the other night at work (Mid City). It reads:

Thurs
The Kinda Famous
Matthew Sturn
Band

I got a bit of a chuckle out of it. :lol:
Most of it seemed to make some sort of sense at the time.

You both missed it. He was wering his Micheal Jackson jacket (no vest, I know...) tonight. Too bad it was a one time only event as the jackey was torn to shreds by a mob of unruly teenage girls who just happened to be passing the building at the same time he chose to make his exit.
Most of it seemed to make some sort of sense at the time.
