it’s a good experience
the employment element alone is soulful
in the beginning russell gray and i had chats
about how many people would tune in
we thought tens of thousands
i may have got carried away and dreamt of hundreds of thousands
we get about 450 people
it’s a happy place
lots of people getting in touch
wanting to know how to do it
i’m hesitant to advise
military surgical protocols of course
there’s a lot of links in the chain
you need a good team
my first conversation with mark rashotte at the empire
lasted about 2 minutes
we both wanted to get things done
it was that easy
we’ve never talked about it since
we just tell road stories
i think all the bands should create their own streaming platform
and book it themselves
create a season’s worth of presentations
from one location
indie pod
metal pod
folk pod
rock pod
tribute pod
create your own infrastructure
book shows
it’s a ton work
we didn’t bother with the pay wall
we just counted on people’s goodwill
this is a very organic heartfelt experience
the donations are churchlike
the musicians have purpose because of goodwill
outside of that
deep breaths
lower your expectations
enjoy the ride
i send love to everyone’s families
