Re:Hamfatter (should be Phatter) - the Dragon's Den band - 2008/07/22 22:32
£75k,(£30k??) creates a "name", buys sandwiches and little else these days without a hit and for every 5 downloads , 8 are swapped or shared.
In creating that "name", the management are better off putting a band on the road currently.
What I have seen in the last couple of years, is market trends on buyers.
You will sell cd`s to teens but not downloads.
You will sell downloads to the late 20 somethings but not cd`s.
I do have figures to back this up for my acts and they are very black and white by "who goes to see what and who" etc.
"High School Musical " is huge, but based on live (film, cult? no idea..) appearance and legend thereof, but the selling items we are finding here are the sit down and listen works of music.
The bigger names that we have ,in our little indie here, are not the biggest sellers.
I am starting to think that fame is not the answer as we begin to turn corners in this job, the key word is reputation.
This is not new news. Beethoven did not have a hit.
