Bandzoogle.com is the way for him to go. The back end of the system is incredibly easy; their slogan used to be "So easy even the drummer can do it." Not only can he (or you) build and customize a shop, but they've got amazing email list management, easy-to-build media players, the ability to embed youtube video with a click of a button, a site-wide media player that remains playing as you thumb through the pages... etc. They're constantly building new additions as well. If he does use them, let them know The Luxury sent him along, as I *think*we get something for free, and who doesn't like free stuff? our site is a little cluttered right now, but www.theluxuryband.com is a bandzoogle site.

"[The record] shines like the back of the sun." - Boston Metro "[Their] sound is big: U2 big, Oasis big, even a smidge of Pink Floyd big. That means that singalong hooks, memorable melodies, driving rhythms, close harmonies, and songs of the heart are all in the Luxury wheelhouse." - Boston Globe "Expertly polished, extravagantly layered..." - The Herald "I don't think this band or the local music scene will ever be the same... already looks to be one of the better albums to be released nationally in 2009." - Ryan's Smashing Life "Songs even the richest evil genius would be jealous of... a truly remarkable album." - The Last Broadcast
