Research and Planning COMMUNITIES
Communities: Over the years, Two Door Cinema Club have gained a massive fan base purely from just performing at festivals. They have been performing at festivals for over five years now and have worked their way up to one of the main stages at Reading/Leeds festival and Glastonbury. They have also done many tours in smaller locations aswell which has helped then to gain fans. Their music is so fun-loving and happy that many people tell their friends if they've heard the band so they also recieve alot of interest just through word of mouth. BBC Radio have recently become Two Door Cinema Club fan and play them frequently as well as asking them to tour with acts such as Azealia Banks. Lastly, it has become apparent that their song is featured in the Debenhams advert aswell as the lead singer performing at the Olympic ceremony. If I was to put a specific scene for their music I would definitely say the festival scene which is what they are most famously known for. As far as communication goes with the band, they have also relied alot on the internet to promote themselves. They have a soundcloud account, myspace account, tumblr, facebook and twitter and frequently talk to their fans and update them with news and videos. There aren't many 'fan pages' that have been actually created by fans because TTCC up date their fans as much as possible and aren't the type of band that people 'internet stalk'. Focusing specifically on their Facebook page, they have 1,135,370 likes on their page which has increased by over half in the past year or so. They have a special way of connecting with their fans as they post picture every couple of hours of what they are up to (even if it's just a picture of tickets). But also looking at their soundcloud account they have 116,138 people following them. Interestingly, all of the people are not 'indie hipsters' but their fans seem to range from teenagers to middle aged people. These people also seem to be from all over the world which then lead me to research whether Two Door Cinema Club are famous in other countries and I found that indeed they were. The band is very well known in countries such as Poland and their new album 'Beacon' is close to going platinum in Sweden. They also often do many shown all over the world and have just started to do performance on American talk shows such as Jay Leno. Activities and Lifestyles: Two Door Cinema Club's music always seem to be happy. And even though some of their lyrics may seem to be talking about a love story, they tune to the song always makes audience feel like dancing. The music is all about good-living and active. It doesn't have any references to 'making money' or anything that is seen to be essential within society but they do include lyrics that could be seen as wanting to take someone's social worries away (e.g. 'you would look a little better don't you know if you just wore less make-up'-Something Good Can Work).
