'those naughties fuckin' too big for their boots traitors! '
'yeah europe shmoorup that's what i say... eh where is europe anyway?'

Donal, what's the difference between a licensing deal and a record deal? Is it that you give them already-made albums instead of new ones? Congrats and good luck with it by the way.

Thanks Ro !

In both cases you give them a finished album. In both cases you own your music. The 3rd option - with a record deal - they own the album. You work for them.

We have a distribution deal with RMGchart here. They get a cut of the money (distribution deals are usually 15 - 25%). They distribute into the shops. Physically move the CDs into the shop - and only if the shop asks for them. It can be very frustrating when you play cork and galway and no shops have they CDs - not RMGs fault. Shops don't order them. But then it is very satisfying when, as a result, you sell 100 copies of you CD at a gig when they cost 1 euro to make.

We now have a licensing deal outside of Ireland... licensing can be like a record deal except you own your music, call the shots and you are basically are your own record label or 'licensor' which licenses the album to the license-wanter-type-person or 'licensee' for a cut of 50-70% generally.

some license deals are just glorified distribution deals which do not support / push or plug the albums and do not invest in the sales of the album (a bit like a distribution deal does not invest in the sales of the album). Other Licensing deals invest lots of money in plugging, promo, marketing and tours. A bit like a record deal proper but one where you are the boss and you still own your music - nice!

The Frames, Damien Rice and David Gray *wipes rotten fruit off face and waits for silence* would be rather well know for the Licensing route ...

Stina Nordenstam has just signed a Licensing deal for europe with V2 which means for the first time she owns her music and has no record label interferrence in her music as she funded it and recorded it.


Talk to angela at FMC or go to their website. They rock...

ambassadornuat - with these signatures you are really killing me !!!

 

[snakybus]

I say well done to all, what with the dudleys being big in Japan, the Jimmys being big in eastern Slbzzzchvkia, Daemian Hag being big in their pants in Italy and whatnot, and now this. It's about time Johnny Onion Rings got his dirty foreign mitts on some proper Irish produce. Bring us back some plastic Eifell towers lads.

That's the way Marillion work these days too. It's all good.
Good luck tychos.


Corponaut (hahahahaahahahaha! funniest thing ever)

[Alan Latchley]

For what it's worth, I think its a dreadful new name. Sorry guys. It sucks.

 

[MDR]

Thanks for d'info Donal.

 

[gugai]

I'm not sure if this has been covered yet...

Is it now called This Is Tychonaut?

I'd only prefer candy to crapweeds if they weren't called scumdrops......

 

[Keeror]

Who is the license deal company?
Do they really get 50-70% of sales?
That's fucking madder than charging people a 2 euro surcharge on gig tix to fund studio time.

Re. some earlier post: Tycho Brahe the astronomer and Tycho Brahe the observatory should be pronounced the same, no? Since the observatory is named after the astronomer... oh, maybe you were taking the piss.

Why am I on Thumped again?

 

[Keeror]

And.. having names of variable pronounciation never hurt Bowie or Bono.
Or Sunn 0)))
Didn't do much for Prince though, did it?

I'm off.

[BAD LUNATIC]

Tychonaut doesnt have anything to do with the Fields of the Nephilim track 'Psychonaut' now does it?

 

[hugh]

Or is it something to do with the band Supernaut who put out an album on Dirt records a few years ago???!!!!

 

[Donal]
