Do you play live?
Live is great to move the sound in people. Play locally, within 200 miles of home base, bars, clubs, festivals,in the park free hometown concerts.Will travel for a big gig. Love that place of extended moments when everyone realises everyone else is in the sound experience of now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
imaginative evolution through accessability.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes
Band History:
Tried it with the wrong people in my teens and discouraged so got into painting art in a big way for a while and music waited in the wings till ready to recreate my soul food. Started producing tunes for real about 5 years ago. Now have a repertoir can carry through 4 hours on stage, down beat to dance. Like invited muso's to join performance, jam along. Like to get dressed in costume - tribal witch doctor and florescent body designs for a party night.
So far play gigs within 200 miles of home base, bars, festivals, parties. Produced a CD 2004 recorded from a live performance at Visions Festival, Golden Bay, NZ. Produced a short promo video 2004 - 'What is Side Show Bob show' Presently working on new material for another CD and performance stucture and coreography.
