My EP released on iTunes today!

[Bastian]

*moves thread*

They have an album almost done, but their manager smurfed them over so it didn't get released.

That's awful. Managers can either be a godsend or a complete and utter hindrance. A friend's band had a REALLY successful first album but their manager fouled things up so bad that their second album barely got noticed. They had to fire her before the third album and just try to handle that stuff on their own.

In about two weeks my new project will go live. There will be no official releases yet, but to introduce ourselves to listeners, venues and record labels we will release our recordings, a music video and a website with a somewhat unique concept. Merchandise is on it's way aswell. It's quite awesome to see all those things come together.

Very exciting! It's awesome when it all starts coming together, yeah? It seems like you've been working on the music for so long that when it gets "birthed" out there in the world, it's amazingly exciting, but also terrifying! :P

Congratulations on your failure of a thread.

Thanks, Bunny!

Also, why put quotes around name?

Surely you mean: "Why put quotes around 'name'?"
I put quotes around "name" because it isn't my actual name.

Yeah, jeez-- what's the point of telling us that your band's EP released if we can't even check it out?

Honestly, it's less about how slimy it would be to be all "here it is! go buy my album now! do it!" but more that it is a very specific genre and it's not likely many people here (especially here) would appreciate it. :P

What instruments do you play, Momiji? It's never too late!
