I received a message a few days ago inviting us to a showcase of sorts at Downtown Music next month. That's fine and dandy and after asking the other guys, we're all in. So we'll play a showcase/festival next month. No problem. Well until I just thought about it. Showcase. That's not a normal show. Now I'm not, as with any nice opportunity that comes our way, getting myself overly excited nor jumping out of my skin about it, but I think it might be something to take a little seriously. Why? Well I'll tell you why. This is best case scenerio but I like to lay it out like that anyway.
This is a showcase of musical acts of the greater Arkansas area for the record label Rotten Records. They don't really have much on them that I've ever heard of, the only notable one that I know of is Green Jello,so yeah not really mega superstars or anything. But it is a legitimate indy label. The purpose that I was informed of in the email is to not only have a big place for these bands to perform, but for the president, whoever he is, to watch all these bands and possibly sign a few onto their label. Hmm... neat? Signing onto their label does not in any way or form mean hey I'm gonna make a ton of money and be supported for the rest of my life, be on tv, and everything else. But it does mean getting support to record an album as well as being able to tour and possibly play some large festivals across the country. That's something I would really love to do right now. Can it happen? Absolutely. Will it happen? Maybe maybe not. But hey.. this one could be an important one that I should pay attention to perhaps.
