Finalized the date for our album release parties this week. August 9th we have the Scottsdale release at Martini Ranch, right after we open up for a Daft Punk cover band (whaaaat) at Axis on that Friday.
The main release party is the 16th (Sunday afternoon) at the W Pool. We’re making it industry only on our guestlist, all radio, club, nightlife, investors, artists, media etc. plus the lovely ladies of Scottsdale. I’m excited we got the venue we wanted to (thanks go to Bill at Rev77), I think it’s a great start on our rebrand as the new face of Scottsdale (less hedonism more pop).
We’ve been very lucky in that we’ve been able to watch the release parties from earlier this month. I wish we had the money to afford Soundscan registry etc. because I think we could clock just enough units (1000 or so) to land the bottom spot on the Billboard top 100 for new artists… This would be truly truly truly insane. That’s how far the charts have fallen, for new artists you just gotta sell 1000 in a week to chart. Sadly we don’t quite have the abilities to have everything recorded (registering costs more than pressing the album!!! WTF).
We want our party to set a standard for future album releases. Our fans come to our shows all the time, we’ll throw some cool concerts for them, but we want to really treat the industry to a cool party, no cost, lots of free stuff, great networking, beautiful people for them to impress with their industry lives etc etc. I want it to be like a royal court lol, people just coming through and chopping it about how we can work together to bring this Silver Medallion thing to the next level.
So now we’re on a mad quest to secure sponsors (I’ll be damned if I’m not getting catering, booze sponsors, free gear giveaways and someone to cover the cost of us giving away 100+ albums). And also on a more concentrated dash to get the guest list for this event amazing. I want 100 people there, that’s all, but I want them to be the right people, all bosses. We’ll see what we can do.
