Looks like I have to repaint my kitchen earlier than I'd planned - bubbling paint on the walls, doh

Currently working on getting power to my "workshop", so need a sparky to put in some external powerpoints, then I'm fitting a instant gas hot water system to replace the shitty expensive electroc one, so I also need a plumber/gasfitter.

Also designing my garage

Yeah sound good.

$5K!!!

Well you know being in a band is an investment.

You played any shows yet?

You either make it or brake it, so play a lot of shows, sell merchandise and EP's.

Most importantly is playing shows, release the EP then worry about all the marketing / T-Shirts / stickers later.

Get your name out there in the local scene, the word will spread, ppl will ask for an EP or download it LOL!

When ppl really like your music, they will want to buy merch (T-Shirt / Hoddie) whatever.

Spend your money on the band wisely, spend on guitar strings, guitars, amps, leads, pedals, equipment as they will all help you make / write music.

Music (band) will show who you are and at the end of the day, it makes you money.

Some bands 'sell out' and only do it for the money some stay true and keep the enthusiasm and make money.

We're going in the total opposite direction. I haven't even jammed with the singer before. The first time we play together will be in the studio :P

We're hitting the internet first and seeing how many fans that can pull. With the right marketing you can get signed without playing a single show (just look at that little Justin Bieber kid, all it took was some youtubing).

And it's not exactly a band. It's my solo project with someone else singing.

With my shitty vocals and bedroom recordings I've already been in the Triple J Unearthed charts (check the pop ones, I'm sure I'm still up there) so I'm really expecting to go places with the new stuff.

I wouldn't mind doing gigs but my singer would be way too busy (he does Rod Laver shows, no shit).

I have no idea why he has any interest with working with someone at my level but he says he sees potential.

what type of music you guys making jezza?

Acoustic/pop/rock. Most guys won't get into it but it's what I write best and girls love it. So that's my target audience.

^ Got some stuff there. If you have 5 minutes to spare, rate me 5 stars or leave a good review :)

lol jizzy boy... acoustic rock is my fav genre. Like Mraz, Tristan Prettyman, Gavin DeGraw, Marc Broussard and Jamie Cullum.

That said, most of them sing quirky shit, not lovey dovey teen romance stuff. I'll still give your stuff a listen.

Also, if you want another way to reach a global audience... get your shit on http://www.last.fm

lotsa people use it for discovering new people to listen to, and if you get popular you'll get internet radio play.

Yeah, last.fm is a good one :P I'm making a list of places to market. I reckon there's at least 100 well known sites.

Once the stuff is recorded I'm going to go apeshit and post everywhere.

As for style, I'd compare myself more to Teddy Gieger, Evermore (old stuff), Coldplay (old stuff) etc.

bubbling paint on the walls is a bit random, but re-painting is pretty easy

im almost done my house, just got one roof section to do, all up nearly $1100 for everything, so just kitchen will be cheap

I could no give a fuck about Justin Bieber who is just another sell out product of a Island Records who would end up like Brittany / Christina and other one hit wonder shit singer / band(s)

But if you want to take the same approach as he did, then sure go ahead.

The Triple J Charts would have helped you.

You have a Myspace, you can also upload to Pure Volume.com, make a landing website with just a media player and upload your tracks there, like a home website...

I did the other way by playing live shows.

Nothing beats a live show IMO.

I listen to some Acoustic / Pop / Rock.

Mainly Dashboard Confessional and bands who have done Acoustic versions of their tracks.

Gave them a listen. Best of luck with your EP, let us all know how it goes :)

Thanks for taking the time to listen :) It's still a few months off but I will definitely let you all know how it goes.

I was only using Justin as an example. My point was that the internet is a huge marketing tool these days.

If there is enough online demand for local gigs then I'll see what I can do. All comes down to my singer though.

If there was big $$ involved then he might be persuaded :P

There are shitloads of sites like MySpace and PureVolume (no kidding, I know about 30). I will be signing up and tackling them all.

Any exposure is good exposure :P

Yeah, I see where you are coming from with Justin Bieber. :)

Did you say your singer was off AUS Idol?

Sounds like he's in it for the money and fame rather then the love of music... That's how I see it, I could be wrong...

In all honesty, I would not approach anyone from AUS Idol or AUS Got Talent shit but that is just me.

Is he a good singer?

The internet is the pretty much the way to get your name out across the world.

It's a good thing = World wide exposure for everyone to see.

Ppl download now, who buys a CD these days unless you want the original copy of the performers music.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
