| Myles Deck and the Fuzz Updates | |
First off you missed a great set last Saturday when the guys opened for Pride Tiger. Not only did they clearly win over some new fans they also managed to keep the attention of some of the guys from Pride Tiger most of their set.
In regards to their album Beware! The Fuzz [I am now half thinking the title is also a warning to bands lacking in the live show department] we have the album mastered - although there may be one correction being made*, a rough up of the cover art [below] and are just waiting to have the album sent off - we have to figure out of the vinyl and CDs will be pressed at the same place.
We hope to have the CDs and records back by the end of July, watch for some early chances to preview the album and get a copy in August before a September release and supporting tour to Ontario and back at least in late September/October.
*Once that is figured out we’ll be posting the tracks on FHTT’s site
Apparently some people out there would think From Here To There was screwed before we got started [mind you we don’t expect to sell 150,000 albums per year, but still c’mon] [ASIDE: C’mon has a new site as well - go see that - even though they have nothing to do with this post]:
Fortune’s Dennis Hau on the economics behind Burgendy Records’ contracts with older artists…Because it [Sony BMG’s Burgandy classic imprint] has a full-time staff of only about two dozen employees, it expects to put out no more than two or three albums a year.”
[From Fortune via Coolfer]
As noted on Hypebot as well:
They don’t seem to have learned anything about indie frugality. Sony BMG’s Burgandy classic imprint has 24 employees to work 2-3 new releases a year. Next idea…
I don’t even want to think about what I could accomplish with the help of 23 other people [or why I would need that many to put out the same number of albums Joi and I will this year]. Fuck.
