Zero To Sixty, the most popular of the Stoner bands just applied to FOFC Live!

Their very first release, a demo titled after the band, is scheduled for release this month.

duckman · 02-23-2005, 02:42 PM

Undying Affliction has applied.

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 03:24 PM

Any of you guys go by "Linkin Park" or "The Cells"? I've seen requests by them to join but have no idea who they are and I'm trying to limit it to FOFC since we have a limit.

SI

vex · 02-23-2005, 03:41 PM

Flair has applied.

sabotai · 02-23-2005, 04:13 PM

Somatic has applied

Ben E Lou · 02-23-2005, 04:14 PM

Too Bad Bruthaz don't need no m____f___ label, beeyatches!

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 04:31 PM

Everyone who has applied (except Linkin Park and The Cells, who I don't know who they are) has been offered a contract at this point. There are 8 of us already on the label.

SI

JHandley · 02-23-2005, 04:36 PM

I'm The Cells..sorry I should have posted that here.

Are the Indie Rock groups really Indie now that they're signed?

I dunno but Fascist Eagle has no designs on being indie. We're all for sex, drugs, and rock and roll in giant stadiums full of screaming fans and sleeping on piles of money with many beautiful women.

SI

illinifan999 · 02-23-2005, 04:50 PM

I enjoyed reading the contract. Can you change the parts in the contract like how much money the label will put towards recording and how much royalties?

illinifan999 · 02-23-2005, 04:50 PM

dola

i guess i should say, are those editable where you choose those certain aspects while creating it?

Is that allowed? I know I had a second band in MM2. That said, I think we should probably hold off on extra bands for a while and give people a chance to get their first bands in. Maybe we can look at this after a week or so.

SI

vex · 02-23-2005, 04:52 PM

Yeah, I was wondering that after the label gets 20% of the profit, will we get backed pretty nicely next time we sign? Because I would think the label will have a ton of mony by then.

I hope so, I read in the MM forum where a guy said he had 4-5 bands and I never saw a posting that I couldn't, guess I'll find out...

Yeah, it would be wise to do that. Maybe we could create another label that pertains to a specific genre.

You get to choose three things:
Number of singles
Number of albums
Cash from label to help promote

Right now, we've got a bunch of bands starting out so I think it would be foolish for us to pool our money and then redistribute it in some way. So, I figure we give $0 from the label. Maybe at some point that will change, but we don't have the resources to start doing that for quite a while.

SI

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 04:58 PM

Wait? The label gets that kind of cash from stuff? Then I'll try to just churn that back out to the people in the label. Any suggestion on how to do that?

Right now the label has all of $21 that I put in it from my slush fund.

But I'm not going to be doing much until I can get that tour bus from hell

SI

Aylmar · 02-23-2005, 05:00 PM

Pimp Daddies will apply.

I think we'll have to wait and renegotiate. At least I assume that the label gets 20% since the contract said we keep 80% of the profits.

ShovelMonkey · 02-23-2005, 05:17 PM

IN my bands news it shows that I was offered a contract, but how do I view the terms or accept it? That is seeming to elude me at the moment...

Below you news, there should be a "Label News", click on that there.

vex · 02-23-2005, 05:26 PM

Lighthousekeeper, anyway to add a column in the record label section that shows how many bands are under that label? Thanks.

ShovelMonkey · 02-23-2005, 05:26 PM

Nothing in there. In band news it says: "Contract offer from FOFC Live!"

Nothing in the label news other than, "You are currently unsigned."

vex · 02-23-2005, 05:28 PM

Dola

Also, what is the rating(change) column in the record label section? Also, when I click on a post in the forum, how come I always get a page not found error? Also, could you possibly tell the mods on your board to lighten up just a tad?

Forum is down (again). Need to get a new one.

Raven Hawk · 02-23-2005, 07:29 PM

I've got two offers, however, no matter which one I want to review, I can only see the first one. Unfortunately, I can't see the FOFC offer to accept it. Anybody know any tricks to this?

ShovelMonkey · 02-23-2005, 08:05 PM

Woohoo! I'm now a confirmed member of FOFC Live!

sterlingice · 02-23-2005, 08:50 PM

Anyone know who are the Pink Zappas?

Any luck RH?

If you decline the first one, will it go away?

mckerney · 02-24-2005, 01:50 AM

Emo group Incapable has applied to the FOFC Live! label.

Ummm, I didn't decline the first one because they gave me money.

I've got a 1-single deal with Apathy Alliance where they've fronted me $300 to make a single. Once I take their money, then I'll go for FOFC. By the way, FOFC has 17 members. I think the next largest label has 5.

Qwikshot · 02-24-2005, 09:01 AM

Alt Country band Dust Country

sachmo71 · 02-24-2005, 10:28 AM

I guess I'm not going to be on the FOFC label.

JeeberD · 02-24-2005, 10:28 AM

Woohoo, we wrote a song!

Crap, after living expenses we're in debt now. Guess it's time to tour and see if we can make a little cash...

I think once FOFC Lives fills up, someone else will make another FOFC label.

Calis · 02-24-2005, 11:20 AM

Ack, making a single is pretty frigging expensive eh?

Dang, guess I'll be touring and practicing a few more months!

Another question- I have a flautist in my band, who rocks btw..but in the band detail screen he shows up as ???? by his name where everyone else has Bass/Drums/Vocals etc...

I should've had 5 flautists in my band, we'd be unstoppable then.

Swaggs · 02-24-2005, 12:08 PM

fantastic flying froggies · 02-24-2005, 03:39 PM

The Vampires of Doom have applied to the FOFC Live! label.

Castlerock · 02-24-2005, 04:12 PM

Aujourd’hui has applied to FOFC Live

sterlingice · 02-24-2005, 04:12 PM

Well, if there's someone popular enough, I think it might be time for them to start a new label. FOFC has 17 members and I've offered 3 contracts to the three first bands to apply (Canadian Myth, Jive Turkeys, Incapable). If they don't accept, I'll keep going down the list of people who applied in chronological order but I guess we're hugely popular and have run out of room (Murders in Mega City and Rising Hayabusa top the waiting list).

Hm... I wonder if FOFC Live! and whatever the other label is will have to compete for bands. Probably should keep it friendly, tho. The other thing is anyone can go between labels so maybe we can just share bands depending on who has openings and who wants in.

SI

I believe Swaggs started Elitist Records as a new label.
