Lava made us have a lawyer before they would even talk to us... Lawyer's is a big deal in this game!
What are they doing for us.. well we will have to see.. as for right now they are paying my bills.... making us re-record the cd and having Chris lord Aligi mix the singles... other than that we will have to see..

I hope that you didn't give up your publishing rights to your music.
It's Alge, not Aligi. lol.
This is awesome, I wish you guys the best.

Just watch out for the 'recoupables'.
Traditional deal or "360' structure? (just curious what newly signed bands are being offered these days...) |

'recoupables' Ya that was the 1st thing we fixed along with the "sunset claus"... btw this is our 3rd and final copy.. so I think where there...
Not a 360 deal.... more like a traditional deal I guess.. never got to this point with any other bands... |

Yeah, those sunset clauses can really bite you! Often overlooked until you try to start afresh someday.
Have fun, don't go out & buy a boat (yet) & most importantly- have fun! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
