BTW, SAC: Get yourself on Twitter as well. Easy to set up so you post to both sites simultaneously, and you hit a wider audience and don't have to worry about who prefers what outlet. (Doesn't hurt, but not much need to bother with Google+ really.) Media outlets also turn to Twitter for trends, which makes for a wider spread of info.
Be warned: FB's become problematic for artists in recent months because your posts will only reach some of your fans, namely those who have recently interacted with your account. If you want all of your fans to get your post in their feed, regardless of their activity level, you have to pay to "Promote" those posts. Which has obviously resulted in a lot of pissed off artists and fans.
Be prepared on both FB and Twitter, though: You or one of your staff will need to moderate for spam and jerkwad comments and field for the inevitable loons and trolls. It's the nature of the beasts. Twitter's a little easier to just ignore any responses since they don't automatically show up in your feed for everyone to see, but you can't see the useful responses without seeing the useless ones as well, so the advantage is slight at best. Both have some maintenance to deal with.
