Anyone have contacts in the Music Industry? - GoFuckYourself.com

Nysus · 06-30-2004, 09:33 PM

I have a friend who is super-talented. Fucking amazing. Technical as Tool and sound just as good but with their own playing around. Man... so good. I'd love to get someone to come listen to them. Ahhh.. I love live music.. Heh.

Cheers,
Matt

where you located at?

wdsguy · 06-30-2004, 09:34 PM

I remember KB mentioning something about having contacts in the music industry

Linguist · 06-30-2004, 09:36 PM

Tool is technical? Come on...

Anyways, good luck to your friend!

Don't have many contacts myself, but I do play in a band... and couldn't resist commenting on Tool

Canada, more specifically Kingston which is 2 1/2 hours away from Toronto / Ottawa.

wdsguy - Thanks, I'll have to hope he sees this thread.

Sjelefall - Technical as in how they play, I'm not sure of what proper terms to use.

Cheers,
Matt

I got connections in seattle based rap lable's

Spunky · 06-30-2004, 10:12 PM

How about a sample?

KRL · 06-30-2004, 10:14 PM

I do. But its got to be out of this world exceptional to have a realistic shot these days.

There are so many musicians who all think they're the next big thing. And its not that they aren't great at what they do. The problem is the field is jam packed with people trying to make it and get their demo's heard.

If you can't hear the hook in the first 10 seconds its going in the trash can.

Maybe they have some contacts too?

spunky1 - I'm not sure they have anything recorded. He's always been in the situation where he doesn't have any money to play with. I will ask him if he has anything of what I heard tonight.

He's brilliant. If he hears a song, 30 seconds later he could pick up whatever instrument and play that part of it. Along with being an amazing musician he can draw extremely well. !@#$ Ahh.. I'm still buzzing from the music.

Matt

My friend Marty is a producer located in Wisconsin. His fiance Shelby was signed with beatclub records (timbalands label) but the deal fell through from no fault of their own, he's still got ties to interscope records though and a few other labels.

He's also a helluva producer does amazing work in the studio. He has a full pro tools setup and does all his own mixing. Im not sure how much would come of it but I'd be glad to pass own any info to him about getting in touch with your guy.

Yup, I realize that. That's really why I want to get them heard.

That's one large hurdle though is getting a quality demo made. Even then the next hurdle is having it heard.

I'll have to see if I can somehow get these guys into a studio somewhere.

Cheers,
Matt

That'd be awesome. He's a calm quiet guy so I'm not sure how business oriented he is / dealing with people though I'd gladly help him along any way I can. I'll add ya to ICQ.

No problem man. Dealing with Marty is easy, hes one of the friendliest guys I know, cool as shit and down to earth. I have some samples of his fiance's music, some of the timbaland unreleased stuff he produced, you can take a listen to also. Marty sings, plays guitar and drums and keyboard, and hes a good guy to work with. If your guy has talent im sure he's gonna perk up when he hears it.

I have been in and out of the music industry for 20 years. I still do some session work and a ton of digital editing, MIDI, autotuning and stuff like that for local studios. The best way I can see for a new band to make any headway today is to beat the pavement and develop as big a following as they can before they even try to send out demos. Record people like to see money making potential way more than good players. Also get a damn good entertainment lawyer before contacting ANY producer, record company or even recording basic tracks someplace. Most bands make their biggest mistake with the first deal they strike and regret it all the way. I know people that have signed away their music just by signing a sneaky contract the recording studio had them sign. lol Watch out!!! Most record people that I have run into won't even listen to it unless it comes from a recognized lawyers office.

Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can pass that onto them / help them out.

Say they're using someone's studio to record demos, anything they have to watch out for?

Lets first hear a live recorded session, and we'll be the judge

Sounds like a plan.

I actually stopped by the place they were playing at and my friend hadn't left yet - he said they're recording in 2 weeks.
