Yes, it can’t be said enough. Playing live is promotion, teambuilding and a whole lot of fun for bands. It’s very important, both for enterainment and as an expression of culture. For us at Record Union, except distributing music and doing our best to support up and coming artists and bands, we love going to see live music (in my case also play). Today something cool happened. As we were discussing how and where to spend the evening two alternatives emerged and we realised that the two options both had distributed via Record Union. Kilroy and Lissi Dancfloor Disaster. Our heart just melted a little. There are probably a lot more bands that use our service playing tonight all over the world. The Record Union movement is growing. Our thoughts this Friday goes out to everyone who mail, call and book their own gigs. To those who rent a van and go on tour with the hopes of getting home without having lost ALL of their savings. They are all our friends.

And yes, I know, we may only be a distribution company, but the most of you who distribute though us are up and coming. Hungry. That’s good. Record Union may well be the springboard you need. More about that some other time.

Is it friday? Yes. Let the music play.
