Snowdog79 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hello all. My rock/country band is playing in Denton, TX this Friday (June 10), and we've got some record-label type folks coming out to see us. Not just some indie label either--this is our DREAM label. They like our CD, and they want to see our show. If anyone is in the area and isn't gigging, your attendance would be really awesome. While they say they're "coming to see the band, not the crowd," it's easier to put on a rocking show if there's a good amout of people there (at least in my case). Here are the details: Collin Herring Friday June 10 At Hailey's 122 Mulberry St Denton, TX Doors at 9:00, Collin plays at 10:30 Featuring the full band and special guests Old songs, new songs, new old songs Hear samples at: www.collinherring.com www.myspace.com/collinherring Thanks again to everyone here. I don't post to often, but anytime I need a question answered you guys are incredibly helpful. Now I'm off to resolder some wires on my old Fender P before Friday.... ~Jeremy Hull hullbass@gmail.com www.myspace.com/Jeremyhull www.myspace.com/cowpunkHolyMoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLroomtempJ Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 bump. I hope it goes well. You've cleared up something that i've been questioning for a while...i never knew that "indie" was independent, i always thought that there was some sort of indian style rock that i've just never noticed. jason 2cor5:21 Soli Deo Gloria "it's the beauty of a community. it takes a village to raise a[n] [LLroomtempJ]." -robb My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2fat Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Good luck. Stay loose. Look like you're having as much fun as you are. www.ethertonswitch.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog79 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Thanks guys....I'll let you know how it goes. To my untrained eyes it look like the label is REALLY interested in us, at least from the signals they're sending. I'm trying to not get my hopes up in case I'm reading too much into it. And I just got that Fender P resoldered. Let's hope it stays this time. And yes, "Indie" used to mean Independant--i.e. unsigned. However, at this point it's become just another trendy title. Anybody remember "Alternative" music in the 90's? ~Jeremy Hull hullbass@gmail.com www.myspace.com/Jeremyhull www.myspace.com/cowpunkHolyMoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred TBP Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Be cool, snowdog. Pretend you're just like one of your idols onstage. Play to your audience, not the media people. They're the ones that really matter. Make us proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog79 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well, the show went well. We didn't break through to a new level of trancendence, but we didn't screw up either. I think it was representitive of an above-average show for us. And sometime later this week we'll find out of Lost Highway Records is interested in signing us I, for one, wouldn't mind being labelmates with Wille Nelson, Elvis Costello, and Ryan Adams. . . Stay tuned for further updates! ~Jeremy Hull hullbass@gmail.com www.myspace.com/Jeremyhull www.myspace.com/cowpunkHolyMoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicfiend Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Just don't call Ryan Brian by accident. You do not want to get in a fight while you're meeting with some exectutives Hiram Bullock thinks I like the band volume too soft (but he plays guitar). Joe Sample thinks I like it way too loud (but he plays piano). -Marcus Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog79 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Well, the verdict is in. They're not signing us right this moment. They're still interested. They're working with us to set us up with a booking agent, and they want to check back in six months or so to see if the live show has gotten to the next level. We're not bad live by any stretch of the imagination (at least in my opinion), but we were a little stiff last Friday. All in all, I'm happy. And we have a few more labels coming to see us in LA in two weeks ~Jeremy Hull hullbass@gmail.com www.myspace.com/Jeremyhull www.myspace.com/cowpunkHolyMoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 It's hard to press on sometimes when you get mixed signals. I think the experience of this type of audition/show will help you "unstiffen" next time. And a booking agent sounds like more gigs - sounds good to me. congrats on keeping their interest, and for pressing on Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals. Keep your eyes on the stars and keep your feet on the ground. - Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzilla Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Way to go, Snow! Keep their interest, and investigate all the other options too. Make sure the booking agent isn't just another person taking another slice out of your pie. Yes, they're making your pie bigger with more shows (hopefully) but if they take more than they're bringing, you've got a problem. Looking forward to your eventual contract signing!
