Also, Fred, the bassist in Facecage, is a pretty cool dude even if the band is completely awful. He used to be in my buddies band in high school and even back then he was a pretty good bassist.

DaVo wrote: This idea that there is all this money in touring is complete fantasy. Unless the band is at the level where they are playing large venues, touring is a money losing situation. I have yet to come in contact with an indy band that makes huge profits on the road. Most in fact only survive on the road with merch sales and tour support they get from the label.

I'm not saying that a band can't manage themselves especially if they are a small indy band but reality is that they are limiting the amount of success they will see in the future. It's a who you know business regardless of what you think and there is an indy glass ceiling that they are going to hit. So hey if you aren't interested in running with the big dogs and getting big then sure sign to a small label, sign away your publishing, give away your ticket sales and your merch and let them control your career. Just don't be surprised if you get to the end and realize that someone else owns your music and your dead broke. Look at all those artist that made no money during their career but long after the band was dead and gone, have been lucky enough to make money off their publishing and masters by selling songs for ads, movies and TV. With 360 deals or the Polyphonic model bands and artist would be out of the profit and without control over how and when their music will be sold. Publishing is the future and the real money.

Zero, I didn't listen to them, I threw them away. Actually, I probably would've listened to the "first few seconds".

I think Only sent something on the myspace, but it was a generic plea they seemed to expect wouldn't be responded to. I think Destrophy did something similar as well.

Wow, It is great to know that your awesome record company supports the music so honestly and give bands a bit of a chance. You guys run quite a fair business over there, not elitist at all! Way to support music!
