My Diet Pill is a rock band from Nice, France. They have released two albums and three EPs to date . They don't have a record label nor a booking agent, so they have to do everything by themselves including recording and booking shows. They are more popular outside of their native country of France and, thanks to the web, have a growing number of fans all around the world. They have played more than 350 gigs in Europe and sold over 5000 copies of their second album.

D'argirolle and Vlad e. Andrijasevic write most of the lyrics and the musical arrangements are done by the band.

Publicity

My Diet Pill fans use unusual promotional techniques: they include copies of the band's songs inside archives of other bands' music that are distributed on file sharing networks such as eMule. Like a split, this has the advantage of gaining them targeted exposure to fans of similar bands, and downloaders may be likely to give free music a chance even if they'd never heard of the band. However, users may choose a version of an album with a large file size, hoping it contains higher-quality songs or bonuses that other copies do not have, only to find the increased size comes from the included My Diet Pill songs.
