HD DAD posted:Would honestly be down for Régine and the remaining band pulling a New Order. tbh I don't trust Régine either, seeing as she wrote this apologia: Régine Chassagne posted:Win is my soulmate, my songwriting partner, my husband, the father of my beautiful boy. He has been my partner in life and in music for 20 years. And for all of the love in our lives, I have also watched him suffer through immense pain. I have stood by him because I know he is a good man who cares about this world, our band, his fans, friends, and our family. I’ve known Win since before we were “famous,” when we were just ordinary college students. I know what is in his heart, and I know he has never, and would never, touch a woman without her consent and I am certain he never did. He has lost his way and he has found his way back. I love him and love the life we have created together. I assume Win and Régine will continue Arcade Fire by themselves, but the rest of the band should really  from those two asap

BonoMan posted:Going back to music and the metoo movement, but I totally forgot about the Growlers getting pegged with it. The only one that sort if happened was Michael Gira of Swans where the only result was Pitchfork leaving every Swans album off the top albums of the 2010s which just made them look dumb. Swans and Gira ended up doing fine anyway.

Henchman of Santa posted:The Pinegrove guy canceled himself over what basically should've just been a conversation between adults. They are still a band and playing, he wasn't really canceled. Getting out in front of it seemed to work. His dynamic was also way different, much smaller time band, a lot younger, etc. The whole thing was definitely he used some young women for groupie sex, but it didn't seem into the straight up harassment/assault that should be the bar for people getting canceled.

idk, if you want to make money as a rock band in 2022, you could do a hell of a lot worse than releasing several albums a year reminded of how Grizzly Bear stopped touring because they just kept losing money, and I'm pretty sure that played into them eventually breaking up

Personally I think more rock bands need to take the approach of "release drat near everything we record during these sessions so we can move on to the next thing". Unless it's truly absolute garbage, just put it on the album. If it was good enough for the whole band to get on board with it and figure out how to perform it, chances are it's worth something. If it's too many songs, just make two albums. But I've seen too many bands get ultra-precious about what to to canonize on the album and what to hold back because it's not good enough yet, or catering to some grand delusion of fans salivating over a long-rumored unreleased track, begging for it to be graciously bestowed upon them. Once in a blue moon you do need to take your time on a masterpiece, but more often than not, they seem to be happy accidents. Obviously King Gizzard is kind of an extreme example, but I assume most bands attempting such a thing would not be quite so prolific.

BonoMan posted:Isn't touring where bands typically make their money? Album sales usually benefit label/distribution/etc and tours/merch are for the band. He's misremembering what happened actually. Ed Drost had this long-winded bitch session on Instagram about how they weren't making any money on their tour to Australia and New Zealand because of all the fees regarding all the equipment lighting and everything else and I guess their share of ticket sales isn't as high as it should have been. He said they were playing huge shows and still coming out at a loss. He claimed they were actually losing money on the tour but no one else in the band had ever said that. This was also during the time when he was clearly checked out of the band and wanted to move on with his life. Their last album he's only on it for vocals is pretty much a way to confirm how checked out he was even before that tour. I understand that Australia is loving huge and doesn't have as many major cities to tour on and the international flights and heavy equipment fees and all of the visas and everything probably did cost a pretty penny. Just don't tour across the world again if that was the problem but clearly that was just the straw that broke the camel's back for him when he had one foot out the door anyway.

BTW I would bet big that Grizzly Bear reform and have a tour and maybe even a new album within a decade. Drost seems like a manic depressive who always finds a way to be unhappy and will probably realize it wasn't being in the band that was causing his issues.

BonoMan posted:Isn't touring where bands typically make their money? Album sales usually benefit label/distribution/etc and tours/merch are for the band. It depends. So long story short, with a tour, it's a lot of money to run, and you have to do enough shows and sell enough tickets to make money, even with merch sales. It's not uncommon for bands to lose money, and for smaller groups, there's no guarantee. For a lot of bands, a sync deal can make a lot of money. Write a song, get it in a movie, TV show, or ad, you can make a decent penny. Edit: I saw a few articles, and some bands talk about how they don't bother with hotels. That going on the road is supposed to be tough. Find a floor to crash on, or sleep in the van. The reality is that touring is really tough for a lot of musicians and requires an unhealthy lifestyle.

Aware I’m opening myself up to looking very dumb but has this Korean version of Be Sweet with a guest singer been out there for a while? Just put Jubilee on the Bandcamp app and it was tacked on at the end of the album recently I think. It knocks btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf9MXeorVlk

I think it makes sense. even if you did just spend five years in a studio putting together than album. It’s going to get a 7 anyways (unless you’re Radiohead, then it’s an 8) because rock is uncool now.

AT BEST you are going to get a 8.0, and your work in the critical discourse will be overshadowed by the more contemporary genres. So yeah, if you can’t win the critic’s hearts, win the people’s. Automata 10 Pack fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Sep 7, 2022 |
