Kidd Blunt album release weekend (1 Viewer)

No.

it isnt? i better get on to anto about that cheapskate money thats rolling in then.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

no,as in it SHOULDN"T be about losing money. why should the diy scene lose money when everyone else makes money from it?

Why should Tower records make money from a Kidd Blunt album that they(Kidd Blunt)put a lot of effort into getting the money to record and then release,and then Kidd Blunt lose money on the copies sold in Tower?
For me,diy should be about trying to change things like that. I am not remotely knocking Kidd Blunt for the deciding to do it(if indeed that is what happenned),just saying how fucked up it all is.

Ah yeah, it's really shit that they're losing out on money like but (as far as I know) they'd much rather lose out on a few quid than have to charge people extra money to get the CD from Tower.

 

[damien]

they just don't want anyone to have to pay more than €10 for the cd. their choice. don't think they are losing money on the copies sold in tower (actually in one way they kinda are), just getting a lot less for them.

tunguska aren't playing this now

you can have him back now,our dirty,sinful business is done.

deadly gig, seemed like everyone was having a good laugh. The place was mad dark though, took ages to find anyone who you were lookin for.
spent all me money on fucking dear pints. that place is a bleedin rip off

 

[SeanR]

€3.50 for Fosters wasn't that bad and it didn't taste too shit. Best gig of my life, that was.

 

[needtokill]

So is the album in shops now?Like, where can I pick the vinyl up on my way home from work today?

 

[the pyrate dead]

yo jamie, sorry to be posting an unrelated thing, but i cant seem to pm you, got a mail from like a kind of paul confirming our gigatron on the ninth, i forgot which email address your using now, so i didnt foward it..|..|

 

[SeanR]

You can get the CD in Tower Records on Wicklow St. but I don't think they have the vinyl there yet. I think atom records are stocking it too so maybe try there for the vinyl?

 

[mc moley]

fuck fosters by law the only thing you should be allowed to drink is the black stuff and it cost a whoppin 4.90!!!!! although if i hadda known the fosters was that cheap i would have gone for that!!

i wasnt actually asking it was part of me joke....but i agree that its a joke that bands/ zine/ promoters are nearly expected to keep things at a price where they lose moneys im not saying charge stupid money but its reasonable for people not to lose out i actually think its reasonable to make a bit if someone was that way inclined(this would probably only cover recording or other expenses like practice space etc anyway )
.but from experience i woudn't say and hope kidd blunt wont lose out with the prices of the cds and records.

I know you were only messing,but I've been having quite a few conversations about similar things recently,and of course there was the gig thread as well,so I just felt the need to say something yet again.

Was reading MRR there and someone was going on about how no show their band plays should be over $5. Yeah good one mate, tell you what you put on all your shows for $5 and see how much money you lose.

but they are playing basement gigs over there with no costs so $5 is like our paying €8 say into a local gig, which wouldnt happen cos people would bitch and moan all the time
