FreeSpirit, you are a lost spirit.

:lol: absolutely, as well as a newb, or whatever else you\'d like to call me.  But I do believe in what the band is doing, and don\'t know who you are (yet) so... fair enough.


Quote from: OMC;146474
No no no!!!! You are 100% wrong! Communities build bands and management makes the right decisions to guide the ship. Without the community, a band has nothing. Just look at Modest Mouse who broke a few years ago. It was due to their fan base!

Are you ser? I do not understand. Do you mean am I serious? Yes. Your networking is grassroots promotion, not "networking". Grassroots promotion and networking are two different things in two different leagues. When you start to attend black tie dinners with media moguls and get lunches and meetings with them, that is networking. When you pass out fliers, promote, and take photos you are doing grassroots promotion.


So, I guess you expect us fans to suddenly get in contact with the people that MANAGEMENT should be contacting.  That sounds great, but, as a teacher, the only network I have are kids in the 8-10 age range.  Back to my original point:  management should be doing the name-dropping, etc. and the fans should be enjoying the music & bringing new fans in.  "grassroots" style.  ;)

Yikes!
Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright...until you hear them speak.

Name dropping, no. Relationships, yes.

"That sounds great, but, as a teacher, the only network I have are kids in the 8-10 age range."

That is the field of work that you chose and that\'s great. The entertainment industry is not for everyone and not everyone can break in. It\'s a closed society of friends who make the industry go round. It takes years to break in and hopefully when you do, you get accepted.

Since you do not work in the industry, lay off the industry and be a fan. You clearly stated that you are a FAN. Enjoy being a fan and do not get down when the band has had the wrong management and has severed relationships for years.

Be a fan and enjoy the band. Teach during the day and make sure the kids get a great education.

It\'s called honesty.

Don\'t you usually have to be invited to that kind of thing? OMC your from "Industry Land," Make some calls, hook it up.


Yes, but you get there from getting out and networking. It takes years to get there and its a small world when you do.

No Networking, no Relationships. No Realtionships, no contacts. No Contacts, No Favors. No Favors, No Success.

That is all.

O.M.C., I really do enjoy the insights you provide.  One question still begs: why take the time out from your clubby world to comment on a band that has done nothing to foster the relationships you speak of?

Someone from your community called my office and asked me to check out this band. So I decided to come and check it out for myself.

That is all. No more. No less.

How about sending me a private message as to who, thus eliminating my curiosity?

I recall Steffmo talking about industry contacts, so that is my best guess thus far.

Spacey, I say we grab the band credit card and set up a high powered dinner and drink session with the big time players in the scene.......

lets do it.

I held the band credit card once, I should have never returned it.

Tell them we need it for some promotional purchases.

With gas prices at what they are lately, I think we would be able to swing a nice sit down at Applebees or maybe the Outback.....we\'ll see.....
