Ok, I’m not going to win a Nobel prize for this relevation, but I’ve seen some folks break this rule.

Your Twitter name should be your band’s name, or something very close to it. As you are finding new fans, you want to create name recognition for your music, which comes from multiple exposures and repetition. If you are using your personal name to tweet info about your band, you are more than likely confusing new fans.

Corollary A: If you want to Tweet on your own, use your own name. (You can point back to your band’s info in your profile.)
