Was mucking around with a little compact camera with video function on it, put one of our tracks to it.
At this stage, just messing around with the software, 15 mins it took me. We're working on a proper one over the next couple of months.

It was shot on my Sony DSC W80.
I know nothing syncs up, it was a totally different song we were playing to the one on audio, that'll all be doner properly for the next vid we're working on.

Not my kind of music, but you are really good at what you do, you need to speak out whoever orgainises your gigs/promo, as they should be putting you out there more

They are never going to get anywhere with comments like that, fair enough if you dont like them, but comment like that is pointless, what don't you like? How they could be better etc

To be fair, even though they are clearly talented that song is a bit average and hasn't really got mass appeal imo.

That song was picked for its length, I only shot so much I could use in the video really, our other songs are much better, this would be the bottom of the pile on this album, and still different from stuff on our first album.

Something you may want to try...
Is offer your music to be used for free on youtube videos...
Bear with me here. But it can get you mass success.
- Basically, look for soundsystem 009 http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=soundsystem+009&search_type=&aq=f
....
or
http://www.youtube.com/user/breakingnyc?blend=6&ob=4&rclk=cti ray william johnson uses a band's song as his outtro... = big marketting for the band etc.
Shay carl with this phamous track...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C18p7QIbWqc
etc
What I'm saying is, you've been trying for 10-13 years - it's obvious you can play music, but you need to get some mass marketting appeal to get people listening... Once people listen online etc, you then can start getting proper deals etc.
- And I'm not kidding, do something that'll go viral. Like get your mate to push you onto a jamjar, so it goes up your arse. Film it... dub it over the top with your songs music.
Boom - 10 million views and a record deal.

I don't really know mate.

I just kept hearing this song here on loads of vids... then found out it was one of the few music videos offered for free for people to use (if you use copyrighted music on your vid then the sound may be removed / you can't do youtube partner program).
p.s. on the lines of youtube partner program, if you get partnered you roughly make $2.5 per 1000 views, so that 10 million views on that vid above = $25,000...
My point is, the world is saturated with great products and really marketting matters. e.g. I could have the best iphone app released into the app store right now, but if no one knows about it - then i'd not sell a copy!
The difference today is by utalising the power of the internet as a marketting tool you can get free marketting... (if you get lucky / know the secret sauce).
in 2010 my new company http://www.onlineoffensive.com (nothing there yet) will be taking on many forms of online media, as a platform to launch other ideas off of it. e.g. Several youtube channels, several media / content websites, mobile apps, etc. When they reach critical mass not only will i be making money from advertising across the entire network, but i'll be able to easily launch any new idea / product thanks to the following i'd have.
