I think they have a big network to clubs all over the world, or at leasts in some parts of the world. This means that they will send out newsletters with updates regarding the artists they represent, they offer the clubs special nights and of course try to get the artists on their roster booked....

But I don't like the music, which is played by the "big guys" and I don't want produce stuff like that only to get recognized by anyone...

But I guess you know what I mean, no?
If you produce music that NO one plays or get no hype, then of course you will have a hard time to get gigs...

And herein you see why artistic integrity and popular success are not always compatible things.

Yeah, I already got the point. Mh, seems like everything is really fucked up, I guess...

I will just release on EP after another on netlabels as well as on digital labels - and I will somehow wait for something...
