As the topic says: Building dynamic website for band, stick with custom wordpress or learn drupal or joomla?

The plan was to integrate twitter feeds, fb plugins and a few other things. Wordpress can be used as a CMS, just wondering what some thoughts are on this.

For something as simple as a band website I'd go with Wordpress.

I'm a huge Drupal fan. It can pretty much do anything you want it to do. But it has a steep learning curve.

And as far as Joomla goes....I loved it when it was Mambo. Haven't touched it since the fork. I can do whatever Joomla does in Wordpress....easier. If I need something a little more complex than Wordpress...then I'm in Drupal territory.

From what I understand the University here in town uses a ton of drupal installs, something worth learning.
