Up and running

The CD:s for Tree full of people arrived last thursday on a big stack, weighing 114 kg. Everything looks and sounds perfect. I felt like a child, nervous of what the package would contain, if there was to be some error on the CD:s or if I had forgotten to order a CD inlay… Of course I have found some really small flaws, but I suppose that the audience will not see them. Or we can have a competition and see who finds themost errors.

We rigged for the releaseparty and TFOP played the same evening. The Social Services and Dreamboy played at the same event. There will be some footage on Youtube soon.

Now we are doing a big effort to send CD:s to magazines and newspapers, and to the record stores. This will take place in the weekend, since The Modestys CD:s will arrive on friday. We have gotten deals with six of the nine stores I want. Now for christmas, some of them dont really have time to deal with this, so I will wait until january to get the last deals. You can see on the web page where to get the music.

29/11 – The big day!

Today the first CD – Tree full of People’s Release of all colors – will arrive from the factory i the Czech Republic, and we will throw the release party tonight. Our marketing has turned out fairly good, and there has been a lot of buzz in different contact forums. I think we are on the way now.
