***** Indie Music Digest *****
*** Vol I No. III – As of February 1, 1994
Have you ever walked into a bar and heard the most amazing band and wondered, “why aren’t these people known?” Or been struck by a recording that no one but your- self had heard? That’s because the music industry has the power to pick and choose one of a million artists, meaning most of us don’t get to hear the other 999 999.
Have you as an artist always hoped that more people could hear you music? Have you felt that no one understands what you are trying to do? That’s because if an artist doesn’t have a larger market the only people that might hear you are
locals, even if them at all…
This is where the Indie Music Mailing List comes in! This goal of this list is to give musicians an international link by which their music may find an open ear. It’s also a place that us deprived listeners get a chance to one of the
gems of the other 999 999.
If you are interested in being a part of this list e-mail me the information on your band as follows:

WHY SHOULD I LIST HERE?
If I still need to convince you, let me say that over 100 people are subscribing to this list as well as people
strongly involved in the music world.
UPDATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1) I’m now involved in the indie bands show here in Montreal and the station is looking to expand its indie library.
So, if you want some airplay here then send your demo to the following address:
C.F.L.I. – Radio Concordia
Indie Bands Show – c/o Andrew Procter
6931 Sherbrooke West
Montreal, P.Q.
H4B 1R6
Canada
The show is on from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday nights on 101.9 f.m.

2) There is an exciting new service on-line for bands. I’ll let Jeff explain it himself, I couldn’t do it justice….
At IUMA (geez, this sounds like a commercial) we take a song from any band that sends us a demo, record it onto our computer in near-CD quality, compress it in MPEG format to retain the quality at a smaller size, and upload it to our site along with a picture and and info sheet that the band writes. Basically, we are trying to let smaller bands achieve inter-
national distribution while bypassing the industry giants. We are kind of like a label/public radio station/distrubutor without the actual material product. Plus, there is no cost to bands nor to the listener. We just want to give indie bands without the resources or the major label appeal a chance to find their audience. People can listen to a song from the band, and then buy the tape/CD directly from the band.
So far, we’ve been interviewed for articles in Billboard (Jan 29th issue), Playboy, the San Jose Mercury, hi-REZ,
and several other publications. Plus, we are going to meet with a well off and well known guy (who I don’t want to mention until after the meeting) who is considering being our patron. We have the resources and the publicity, all we need now is more bands.
Basically, we’ve been working on setting this up for months now, and it all seems to be in place. We figure within the
next month, things should really start picking up. If you want to check out our site, read my sig. Right now, we are
working on am html interface, so people can use Mosaic to point and click their way through our site. And as soon as
we have that all set up, Adam Curry said he wanted to link us to MTV.COM. This means that there will probably be quite
a bit of traffic going through our site, which means more exposure for the bands.

Cassette (Walking Home...) Style: This is the part I really hate. We play music. It sounds kind of like what might result if you threw Jaw- breaker, DC stuff, Rites of Spring, American Music Club, and an inept love of jazz in a blender and pureed the mixture into a fine mush. Information: We are three fine young men who own and operate musical instruments and occasionally stir fry. Joe plays guitar and sings, Mike plays bass, and Doug plays drums. Buster plays his face but he doesn't actually have anything to do with the band, seeing as he is a cartoon. But seriously, we want to play in your town sometime. Write or e-mail if interested.
