First ever Facebook gig played

A young British band has scored a world first - by performing a live gig on
Facebook before anyone else.
REDBOXBLUE - an unsigned band from south west London - made history
last Wednesday.

The six piece - who cite OASIS, KINGS OF LEON and LED ZEPPELIN
as influences - played the gig live from a London studio and streamed it on
Facebook.

They went on to play another four consecutive nights of gigs, with a total of
10,000 people logging on to watch the action over the five nights.

Incredibly, no-one has streamed a live gig on the popular social networking
site before.

All that could be about to change.
