Virtual Lower East Side (VLES) is a new, younger, more interactive and so-totally-indie virtual world. VLES allows you to create avatars and roam the streets of The Lower East Side, network with others, talk to people on the streets, and report naughty avatars for bad behavior.
More importantly, it is a place for you and your band to create a profile and add media files such as audio, images, and video. The avatars become walking, talking replicas of their own musical personalities, and then function as promoters to tell other avatars about their music and shows. VLES replicates the actual lower east side experience; it is so freakishly close to reality it will scare the pants off of you.
