Its All Getting Complicated.......

We are having worries. No, don't worry, the recent economic strife hasn't run us into ruin, we don't need a government bailout (although I wouldn't complain) and haven't been rendered immobile by Swine Flu. Although, as Phil is spending his time pointing out to me, I'm going on holiday tomorrow and getting rather close to the source of all this. Eeep.

Anyway, we are having worries. What with the album launch coming up, which is the 12th of June at Jagz in Ascot, we are undergoing a pretty major transformation. Before, we ran the simple band business plan of just turning up at rehearsal, turning up at gigs and where possible recording. Now, however, we are undergoing the slightly odd process of turning into what has been a hobby project, don't get us wrong a very serious hobby project, into a business. Signing up with royalty collection companies, figuring out business plans, distribution channels and all the rest of it. It is very confusing.

Still, as per usual, Google, Gethin and Phil have combined to create some triforce of brilliance. Distribution channels are emerging, we have received the mock ups of CDs to go full steam ahead with them, royalty agencies are being joined and insurance is being sorted. It is a rather large learning curve, but as usual we will endure and succeed. We will....
