Won-18 consists of 2 key members. They are Rellik and Plex. The duo has worked together and as solo artists since 1996. Won-18's first LP, "The Dirty Boulevard," is set for release December, 2005. Over 700 advance copies have already been released in Alberta and British Columbia. It's available online at http://www.phonographique.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=9765
Why this name?
Rellik grew up in the Cromdale and Plex, in Beverly. The road that connects the 2 communities is 118 Avenue.Replacing the first digit with a word was kind of cheesy, but it kind of looked better on paper.
Do you play live?
Yes, we do live shows. BUT...Currently , we are focusing on finishing up the album just to have something concrete. There will definately be some touring, as well as a few Edmonton shows this summer.('06)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It almost seems more beneficial to up and coming, underground artists than it does to mainstream musicians. The little guy gets the exposure, and meanwhile the big cat is hit by drops in album sales. It's WIN/LOSE.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Well that would depend on what was at stake. Won-18 has had some smaller labels show interest, but fortunately, we took the time to read the small print. Needless to say, if the right offer came along.....Somehow it seems more appealing be broke and hold on tight to your creations , than to cash in and watch it get slaughtered.(ie. poor marketing , selling out,etc.)
