Facebook is a fantastic tool for certain purposes as musician. There are lots of personal and business reasons to use it as a social network. It should by no means though be your only forms of communicating to your fans. Make sure you're advertising your announcements and shows on your band's website as well. If you don't have one.....get one!
Myspace (which is becoming more and more irrelevent) has taught us that if you invest all you time in building a community of fans on someone else's network, you're not protected if that network takes a dive and fans don't sign in anymore. But if you build your own community and develop a large email list, you're protected.
So, a plan of action would be to build on multiple networks. Your personal band website being the best of all by far.
