Mindless Self Indulgence

When Mindless Self Indulgence (MSI) uploaded their entire new album if onto their MySpace page (www.myspace.com/mindlessselfindulgence), the social networking site probably wasn't expecting that on Monday, April 21st, in just one day's time, the streams for all the new tracks of the album would exceed 680,000 unique plays. Currently the Number One Band on MySpace Music in all countries and all genres, MSI has always had a strong presence on that social networking site practically since Day One when they established their profile in 2004. Their presence on MySpace has been impassable, even before the "MySpace Music" moniker was established. In addition, MSI have been the ONLY band to remain on the Top Ten Artists Charts since the inception of MySpace Music (even Tila Tequila hadn't tapped into the site yet)!

For a band who is unconcerned with chart positions, MSI have been no strangers to top slots due in larger part to the fervor of their increasingly large fanbase. Oftentimes managing to debut at Numero Uno on a wide gamut of charts including dance singles, sales, daily plays, radio and magazine polls, and other industry benchmarks, it has become abundantly clear MSI and their fans are a force to be reckoned with. In fact, lead-up to the release if on April 29th (UCR/The End Records), has already secured its own share of number one positions. The first single "Mastermind" sold over 1,000 downloads on the first 12 hours alone, while the second single "Never Wanted to Dance" debuted at #1 on Billboard's "Hot Sales Singles Chart" and still remains in the Top Five of that chart.

The band is currently on a near sold-out tour through the UK and will be coming back to the States next week to start their national support of if. A plethora of eclectic bands will accompany them, including (but not limited to) The Birthday Massacre, Combichrist, London After Midnight, Hollowboy, Tub Ring, Fake Shark Real Zombie, and A Kiss Could Be Deadly in select cities.
