Please contact me on ICQ or email me at [email protected]

Thanks for your interest and I look forward to talking to you!

LMK when it is up....I would use something like that for my band...and I know a ton of other bands.

brent at python dot com

Post more details when its up. I've got something along those lines we're working on for TeenMusicStar.com. Mostly focused on Pop music, Backstreet Boys, NKOTB, n'sync wannabees.

Thanks for the responses!
Something I've already known thats why I have it templated out and being programmed as we speak. But I need funding to keep myself promoting it plus others!
Any Investors? Only asking for $50,000.00 and have the layout of where our money is going to go !

So Hit me UP!

would this be a more robust mp3.com or something to that effect?

50K you are still in 1997 mister

Nope a lot different. Full Interactive Booking!
Full Integrated Advertising that drives surfers from a variety of paths!

Maybe you should check out what I've developed. I've got 5 people getting back to me in the next couple days cause they were blown away!

sounds pretty interesting... are you going to try and get a lot of small or large venues involved with this as well?

been there, done that..it was called farmclub

Future Promotion Parties will consist of 450,000 SQ FT. Wherehouse that holds 50,000 people. We will be showcasing top talent in the site and also bringing in Major Artists!

(HINT Not too far from you!)

ill touch base with you in 3 weeks and see if you raised one dollar regardless what you developed and how many emails, I run a VC Fund and i know the biz of rasing money way too well.

Dont take it personal

Well what are you looking for then?
Business Plan?
DEMO?
Balance Sheet?

Good, we need it, between SF and Sacramento it's hard for anyone to get any good gigs here... but if the "hint" is in SF you're killin gus out here!!! :)

What if I said its 45 minutes from SacTown, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and 4 hours from Los Angeles!

heh, I'd say it would have to be somewhere in between manstinka and slodi!

97? he would get 200k and would have a multimillion $ ipo within 6 months.

Can you please tell us why this is costing $50k? It sounds like something you could pull off for $5k. Before you come up with an 'interesting' answer remember there are 2 people reading this thread who are actively getting paid by major labels. One of them even signs talent.

So you were saying...?

D contact me at [email protected].

I have a lot of music industry contacts and did deals with some "known around the world" type groups over the years.

I also have a biz partner in LA who handles a lot of music deals.

you buying mp3.com? they are biting shit now

Cause they don't get it either. Plus I have a few more things to offer an artist that will help manage themselves better.

(Say Bye to Booking Agents)

cool, just joined a band actually. old school hardcore'ish stuff kinda like bad brains

Wouldn't you like to know!

www.garageband.com i've been there a few times, its slow as fucking shit though.

Too slow and can't manage bookings online!

The entire music biz is in recession right now ...

MP3.Com, EMusic, Farmclub, and many more are all pretty much a joke ... These guys couldn't figure out how to make money on the net with hundreds of millions.

But you're going to pull it off with 50K .... riiiiggghhhttt.

Another indie artist site ... gee, what a radical concept ... NOT. Escort is right. You're about five years behind the times man.

And who the fuck are you anyway --- what are your credentials?

But hey, I guess there's a sucker born every minute ... can't hurt to ask I suppose. Let us know if you get that 50K ... LMAO!

Edit

hey yo-

hit me up and we can install storefronts selling all the custom schwag your bands can push. all for a free and much better quality/ merchandise/store than that cafepress stuff you're pushing. plus we payout more commissions than them and we don't wig out on adult content.

we are finishing a beta run on the whole thing so now is the time

I've been there and back. Give up now and save yourself the trouble. :)

Actually this is when they are desperate and are throwing millions out in an attempt to turn the landslide over...but it's too late..

True of Farmclub, which was always owned by Universal. But not true of MP3.Com, which originally raised hundreds of millions on the idea that indie artists could be profitable on the net -- back during the dot com craze.

But, since MP3.Com couldn't make money on indie artists, they then tried to become a major label by ripping off major label music. They were then sued for copyright infringement and lost (a $100 million judgement, among others) --- forcing them to pay major damages and, eventually, to sell out to Universal. Emusic also couldn't cut it as an indie site and, I believe, sold out to Universal as well.

This is the furthest thing from the truth. Dude, if you could see the belt tightening over the most mundane things you would be surprised. Even projects with proven stars attached are seeing 25% of what they would have just a year ago. The times are a changing.

Net money is shit right now for the labels as well since the brightest stars for future revenue such as Pressplay are having way less success than anyone had anticipated. This is really messing up the optimisim when it comes to funding new music/net companies.

On the flip side, let me say this is something that was supposed to happen. We've had a great time in the music biz for a long time. Limos, fine hotels the best restaurants and plenty of hookers and blow for all was the norm... until last year. That was all on the artist's dime. No one really cared about profits as much as living well and expense accounts. It's like we all made the money to enjoy it... which is a cool premise for an enjoyable business when you think about it but that had to end. It's not totally over but now we are having figure out how to do it all cost effectively.

What exactly is your involvement in the music biz? Just curious.

i agree...but I did increase the net advertising budget 10 fold at WB...hell I had everyone from Hookt (r.i.p.) to Vibe in on shit...Lord only knows where most of that money went..of course all fo this was before Demette came in..

Aint no recession.

There are bands than ever playing in LA right now.

The rock scene is bigger than ever.

Dont let MTV, MP#.com news think it influences in any wa the cities that are based on music.

Go to LAweekly.com and check out the music section to see whats goin on in the music world.

damn I miss spending RuffNation money..

Hey this guy is outstanding, He farking helped me with the css/style sheets on tomswhores.com Thanks mate for the help and hope somone will help you with your project. I think it would do real well mate

TOM

Ill be honest with you.

Whatever you have in mind will fail.

Do you know anyone in the biz?

This is what happens when American Idol comes out.

Any joe blow thinks he can infiltrate the record indutry and get his name known.

Bullshit.

Ive dedicated more than a decade to securing relationships with music industry related people. In most cases its 'who you know' in the music world. Ask anyone who works in it.

Bands dont get booked by logging on to some silly site and wanting to be a star.

They sleep in cars near the 22 rehearsal studios I have near my pad.

'Its a long way to the top.'

And you wont find it on some 'How to get booked site'

It will fail.

I really miss spending RuffNation money.. *sigh*

This is the silliest thing I have ever heard. How many of those bands actually support themselves with those gigs? Very few I bet.

I bet most of them have day jobs to pay the bills. If that ain't a recession, I don't know what is.

Most bands are so desperate, they practically play for free. And what are most of them looking for? A major label deal.

That's the way it's always been, of course. But that's no indication of a thriving music biz.

Haha, ya know Helen worked for me once upon a time...:1orglaugh

no shit?? it's beena minute since I spoke to her...as a matter of fact, im meeting next week with Dean and Chris regarding a new Interscope r&b act...the boys can blow like no other...homefully this will go through so I can get another nice chunk of some pie...remember Tyiesha Harris? I saw her like 2 weeks ago at Barfly..shes doin indie stuff now in NY

Question: Do you make more money on porn or music?

Youre an adult webmaster with an opinion about an industry you have no understanding of nor have ever worked in.

I have worked in this industry too long to let your opinion even matter.

I see bands everyday get bigger and bigger because of one night shows at the ROXY, or local band gets noticed at the Troubador because of the headlin act.

I live and breathe music.

While you sit on the board today, know that im here and you are there.

http://www.rumborecorders.com

im going to the studio today.

see you fuckahs later.

gotta be there at 10am.

later.

:glugglug

Haha, Helen's checks? Small world. ;)

Nevermind, I have to be kind of ambiguous about what I do exactly because that is the other half of my income still and unfortunately a lot of the higher level people I deal with cannot be associated with porn in any way. A couple of people on the board know. I have been in the biz on the major label side for over a decade signing groups putting together albums and what not. I would call it paying people and being the ringmaster of all the partying. That is the REAL job description.

I also wrote a few songs, one of which you were sick of hearing because it was played too much. It was pretty damn sappy I must admit. Sold a gang of records though! That was about 5 years ago.

more with porn..music is my life though..i have been in the music game since 92..im still gettin fat checks from the music game..gotta love being a 'consultant'

BTW, I have seen someone here in Hollywood invest in the sqme damn thing.

He was a 15 year President of Arista Records I believe who has much more investor connections than anyone on this board.

I think it was /Soundbreak'

it failed. I watched DJ after DJ try out for the parts, it was a big investment.

No return and it failed.

Nope, I don't know Tyiesha.

I saw millions dumped into it.

now look at it.

hahaha

this is the same shit im going through now...imagine if some of our peers knew what we were doing...lmaooo. It's very hard to seperate the adult side from the music side
