Artist partners with well-connected manager, gets a record made on a modest budget, a solid film/TV plugger is brought onboard to nab a few lucrative sync opportunities, that money gets put into the ‘tour kitty’ while fan club members infiltrate blogs to help create awareness of said band and said placement…record is put onsale through online outlets, monies paid directly to artist with no recoupability, a well-thought-out tour is put together and manager brings aboard quality tour PR person, handles micro-marketing…band documents tour via homemade videos on YouTube/MySpace page…band continues to write while on the road and the cycle continues. Artist keeps masters. Artist owns publishing. And things continue.

Comment: this was a nice well said observation, in fact its text book. But, this only works if you have a HIT. A HIT song or a HIT band. Thats the tought part.

Nah…the act will get a half-arsed record made for way too much money…Epic’s promotion/marketing staffers won’t make the act a priority since they’ll have too many releases coming out on Epic proper to worry about…Rob will lose interest and start to focus on his own music…Evan will try his best but won’t get the love from Walk’s team…THE END. Oh, and Sony keeps the masters.

Or…

Lamberg & Thomas = Two smart guys with good instincts and good hearts. I hope they can create a business model that works. The point of signing with them would be to gain the financial freedom to be allowed to work toward a future making music, not working a day job while you slowly sell an unlikely 30,000 units from the back of your car while borrowing money from everyone you know that you will probably never be able to pay back.

Saw the Thomas documentary and it’s a very honest, revealing film. More power to him!

I agree with Larry.

Why give up your masters (and most likely in this case publishing)?

And regarding Rob’s “expose”, I can’t imagine it’ll be too revealing since he’s now drinking Sony Kool-Aid.

If you sell 30,000 records, we don’t blink….yea right..there’s unsigned acts that do this well.so the plus with signing with this label is…?

wait for rob’s documentary about his solo-record. this will cause a lot of controversy. he’s exposing the workings of the industry big time in it.

Would love to see what type of deal points R Tel will be offering up to artists. Evan’s a smart guy so this could do well. Wonder what will happen when Walk …”walks.”
