Dragon's Den
The band appeared on the UK edition of Dragon's Den on BBC2 on 21 July 2008, where they performed in an attempt to secure a £75,000 investment as an alternative to a standard record deal. After offers from four of the five Dragons, they agreed a deal with Peter Jones.

Their next single, "The Girl I Love", is due to be released on 11 August 2008.

Yeah, it does so work!

kudos to the 'dragon' who did not make an offer.

Ah, I hear you cry, my mates mate was offered a 50/50 deal with a production company.? The other type of deal doing the rounds at present are these production deals. What happens here is you sign to a production company and they say, hey we’ll give you a 50/50 split. You think great 50% of the income from the album, fantastic deal, WRONG. What they don’t tell you is that they then go and get you a recording deal with a label and on whatever terms they like, not what’s best for you. You still lose your rights forever. Then you pay the production company back for the cost of recording the album they made for you. Trouble is , you’re on this great 50/50 deal! so the royalties they get from the label they signed your album to, you only get 50% of this, so if they get 15% royalty you only get 7.5%, which is less than a pittance. So this 7.5% goes to recouping the cost of the album not the 15%, which obviously takes even longer. They also always want the publishing, so it’s even WORSE than a label deal.

That was Andy Partridge, from his record label site.

great concept 10/10

Dammit I couldn't identify half those locations. Dude seems to have a Westone Thunder bass, tho, like myself.

This is all irrelevant, however. Nick OTM, destroy with a fucking vengeance.

Ha, I won a pair of nice old WEM column speaker cabs and a FAL amp on ebay, so tonight I drove up to Ely to pick them up, and notice a Hamfatter poster in the living room, and it turns out the guy's flatmate is the drummer in Hamfatter (also was the drummer in this guy's band as well, but he's 'too busy' now). Apparently my amp was used on Hamfatter's album. Woe. It sounds better when they're not playing through it. This guy is moving to Exeter soon for a teaching job so you might end up hearing more about them Nick

There were 'guerilla' advertising stickers for these guys single all over Oxford Circus tube today.

Advertising is all very nice and good, but isn't it better to make something interesting to listen to?

It's all very competent, but that seems to be it.

Critical Roasting for Hamfatter
