These are some questions that we get asked frequently. Please read them to see if the
answer to your question is there before proceeding to the
contact info. |
|
Q. Why do you run a record label and booking agency? |
|
Why not? As long as it's fun, Fickle Fame will exist. Well, provided I don't go bankrupt before that... |
|
Q. Will you release our record/help us get shows? |
|
Maybe. Fickle Fame is not about making money; the criteria is solely personal taste.
So if your music and/or attitude appeals to me, there's a great chance that we can come
to an agreement. For a clue on what I might like, see the answer
further down about musical preferences. |
|
Q. Where can I buy your releases? |
|
First of all, directly from us. Either send an order by old, regular
snail mail or send an e-mail
stating what you want to order. Or do it directly here on the site,
by using Paypal. |
|
Q. How can our magazine/radio show etc. get promos? |
|
We send out some promos to magazines etc. that we like. If we have missed out on yours, send us an
e-mail describing the magazine/radio show etc. In the case of magazines,
a copy of a representative number will definitely help us in making the decision whether to send out
a promo or not. Remember that the records are released in limited editions. |
|
Q. Can I buy Fickle Fame stuff for my Store/Distributor/Mailorder/Distro? |
|
Definitely! Fickle Fame's goal is to ensure that our records are easily available to any
company or person interested in wholesale. Get in touch,
and we'll work out a deal. |
|
Q. Can I book one of your bands? |
|
If you want to make a booking request, send an e-mail.
If we're not the right party to speak to, we'll make sure you get in touch with them. |
|
Q. Will you listen to our demo? |
|
Yes. Use the Fickle Fame postal address (see the Contact page)
to send us a demo. But remember, we guarantee to listen to it, not to release it! |
|
Q. What kind of music do you like? |
|
A lot - from japanese noise to soft pop and everything in between! Here is a short list of bands and
artists whose music makes me laugh, cry, jump with joy, sing along (probably much to the dismay of the
neighbours!) etc. In other words, music that moves me. OK, here goes in no particular order:
Boredoms, Deerhoof, Wedding Present, Cinerama, Mates of State, Neu!, Swirlies, Cornelius, Melt Banana,
Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Tenniscoats, Cryptacize, Of Montreal, Caribou, Beirut, Efterklang, Neutral Milk Hotel,
Sonic Youth, Naked City, Foibles, Merzbow, Lemonheads, Crass, Dead Kennedys, Mr Bungle, The Smiths, Pansy Division,
Bongwater, Christine 23 Onna, OOIOO, Rocketship, Puss, Dear Nora, Pixies, Speedmarket Avenue, The Microphones,
Paddington Distortion Combo, The Aislers Set, Dr. Higgins and thousands others... |
|
Q. Is it true that you have impeccable taste? |
|
Yes. |
