Lyrics
Pigeon Detectives - I'm a Liar
I can't not thinking of you, since you came into view, but i've tried.
All the boys do the same, girl you pop them insane with desire.
'Cause like a bird in my hands, it will all go as planned, I'm a liar.
I can't not thinking of you, since you came into view
But I've tried...
papapa padapa
papapa padapa
I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.
papapa padapa
papapa padapa
I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.
Although I don't know your name, well I could love you just the same, for tonight.
And like a flash in your pendle I will take what I can, if that's alright.
I still don't know how I feel, the words I use, the words I steel, I'm a liar
I can't not thinking of you, since you came into view, but I've tried.
papapa padapa
papapa padapa
I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.
papapa padapa
papapa padapa
I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.
[solo]
papapa padapa
papapa padapa
I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.
papapa padapa
papapa padapa
I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling

The maccabees Wall of arms
I woke up with a loved one's eyes upon me
Loved one's arms around me
Oh...She's my one and only
I grew up in the bosom of my family
Eight strong arms around me
Oh...from the seed they've grown me
And I thank those
Those who kept me company
They are a wall of arms around me
Oh...it is they who are my army
Oh… it is they who are my army
Through these eyes
There's no god above me
No devil below me
No purgatory, no pearly gates
The worms are what await me
It's only me that can forgive me and
I have faith, oh...I have faith
I have faith, oh...I have faith
In those who put up with me
She's my one and only
If I'm the seed they've grown me
They who are my army
The wall of arms around me
The maccabees website analysis.
http://www.themaccabees.co.uk
The conventions that are used on The Maccabees website is the audio and video that as a audience we see and hear as soon as we get to the homepage of their website. The live performance that the audience are shown which engages the fans in to seeing how they sing and how their band works. The attention of the audience is on the band straight away. Using the live footage keeps the fan more engaged and keeps them on the website for longer. The text on the homepage are the links that the website has. At the bottom of the live footage the links take you to the maccabees social networking sites. This is effective because a fan can go on to their hompage and find everything they need in one place. The links at the top of the page let the audience find out everything they need to about the band there is a section for lyrics, news, blog, live, images, videos and lots more. This gives a insight into the band and people that are not fans are able to find out everything about them. The layout of the webpage is simple with the links at the top aswell of the logo of the band which is recognisable as their logo is just their band name. The layout is also simple as the navigations are easy to find and bold to see them.
Who is the target audience? How are they targeted?
The target audience will be fans of the Indie Genre and their age will probally be around teh age of 15-30. The target audience are targeted by the use of the live gig footage of the band. The live footage also gives a new audience member the chance to see what the band are like this engages them and can even convert them to liking the band. The footage also is free and quick to find, showing the footage means that fans have not got to look far for good quality footage of the band, e.g youtube.
How successful is it at promoting the artist?
The artist is promoted well I think because of the video and the links the website has. The band is the first thing you see and hear. This promotes the band by maybe word of mouth as fans can go on and see that the video of the bands is up and the fans can share it with others. The links that the website has which said in question one help to promote the artist as everything a fan needs is on that website. This means that the fan has not got to go to other websites and have hassle searching for what they need to know.

How have the web conventions used?
Straight away we are shown a video link to the making of their new album video. This engages the audiences and lets them be updated on new information. There is no text on the homepage except a little piece saying 'Hi everyone, were recording our 3rd album in NY have a look'. The band are engaging with the audience and make them feel involved in what they are and are up to. The links on this website are different as they only have four links which are 'Shop', ;Facebook' , 'Twitter' and 'myspace'. All of these links are in the same font and does not show the social networking logos. The bands logo is right at the top of the screen which makes the band more noticeable. The dark colours suggests that the black colour makes the logo and the video more eye catching. The layout os very simple and is very plain with just having the video in the middle of the page. Everything is placed in the middle of the web page which also makes the audience have attention on the main element of the web page.
Who is the Target audience? how are they targeted?
The target audience I think is more aimed at the male gender. I think this because of the colour that is on the web page. This is because of the dark colours such as the black background. The target audience for Indie Music is usually around 15-30 yeal olds. The fact that their is no information on the website suggests that the audience the band are aiming at is people that already know them and are keen on not knowing everything about the band.
How successful is it at promoting the artist?
I think that the webpage promotes the band in a different way than others as many other web pages have inormation about the band so the audience are more involved in knowing whats going on with the band. The video also shows what the band are like and how they work together this makes new fans realise what they are like, And if the band are working good together this usually makes the public more interested as they would prefer to see a group of people working together. As a audience member who has not heard of the band before I was intreeged to see more of the video and because it is the groups third album I was wanting to hear other songs and see other videos that the group had make. Just from that video clip I had become interested in what the band could offer.
