Keep in mind that sounds like a band in dissaray again, a singer who has to supplemement his income, possibly keeping him in the disdained lower tax bracket than mcFrankie and Joe Vana.


How is the band in dissaray? Robin has side projects as does Frankie. They tour when they have the time. Is Pride of Lions in disarray because Jp is working on Jamo's album or because JP is working on a jazz album? JoePa your'e a funny guy.

Management, publicist, record label...in that order. And if non eof those are present - the band themselves (if they want anyone to see their shows!)

More deflection on POL/Peterik and Jamo.
Not the issue here. No one's SAYING they're setting the world on fire with their activities or finiancial conquests.
The same can't be said of McQuietSurvRiot and their sycophants.

It's not deflection at all. I merely stating that the band is not dissaray just because certain members have side projects. That's kind of silly really. By the way if you want to find out what's going on with the band why don't you call Paradise Artists directly and find out.

I'm in Philly, but Altoona's about their speed these days.

Got to augment those secret casino gigs Joe Vana spoke of that keep them in a different tax bracket than all of us lowlife, poor fans with some real shows every now and then.


NOT secret...just the casino's do not promote well...the band does not promote, it's up to the promoter....hence the name..."Promoter"......

The cease and decist might have them skittish about approaching you although I KNOW you'd still be happy to promote the band.

See no further than your professionalism in the Joe Elliot debacle.

Eye,

I completely agree with you on this one. It he mid-nineties I thought the sight was outstanding and now it's neglected. This would be a terrific way to stay in touch with the fans. It would be nice if every band member had a blog.

What is it you want me to say about him? Name call like you folks? That's never going to happen. It's not justisfied. My criticisms of the band:

1. Lack of Promotion

2. Lack of Albums

3. Lack of Shows

4. Harder to get info out of then the Vatican


What more do you want me to say? These are the only problems I have with the band. Period. Other than that everyone seems to be a great person with amazing talent. Why do we need to resort to name calling? You don't have to make a scene to make a point on the board. Let's keep it positive.

Maybe I should set up a section here where band members who have only a little time - can sign in and blog updates for fans...without the hastle of getting a website updated?

Andrew do you think artists would commit to it? I think it's a terrific idea.
