“A record label used to be able to look at a tree and say, 'That would make a great table.' Now all they can do is take a finished table and sell it at Wal-Mart.” - Alan Elliott
“Now that MySpace is here, you don’t need a label to be heard ... The world is all about energy. If you can generate energy, it will ultimately translate into money.” –Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins
KURB INFLUENCES:
Losing money on shows because you spent too much or too little on promo.
Putting an album out that no one wants to buy because no ones ever heard of you.
Touring nationwide 5 times, losing money every time . . . and learning to keep your receipts and fill out a rebate.
Going with what you know will work. Not what you think will work. Or what you would like to work.
Heroes
Derek Sivers. Bob Baker. Bob Lefsetz. Gerd Leonhard. Andrew Dubber. Bruce Warila. Justin Boland. Ariel Hyatt. Julian Moore. Also artists like Trent Reznor/NIN and Radiohead who have shown the vision to take the industry forward.

Please be aware of Services we DO NOT cover:
Whether we "like" your music or think you are "good" is not of issue. It's whether you're serious enough to be realistic about the investment and resources required to make your music a success. We provide promotions at a budget suitable to your experience in the industry. We do not provide feedback on song writing or execution.
All promotions should consider a Street campaign, an Online campaign and a Media campaign. Short of posting press kits, we do not conduct publicity campaigns. Radio, TV and print media should be used where possible but are not worth spending money on.

With a complimentary “Orchid Door” Cocktail on arrival, and the New Orient’s famous Buffet to arouse your appetite, DJ Jimmy Olsen and VJ Grafix will add extra seasoning and get the night spinning.
