The Fingz Tour 2005

[Señor Fingers]

Sup yall?

Long time no see. Life's been a demanding mistress as of late and I haven't had the luxury of shuffling about online. Even if I did have time to post, I gotta admit I would have little to say on the topic of seduction...these days women seem more like a distraction than a goal. Yup, my priorities have definitely shifted as I play the music industry game and get my production on. Which brings me to the point of this post...

About 3 months ago I completed and licensed out my first album, which is about to hit stores this spring. While it's very exciting, it's also a little intimidating, as most of the promotional responsibility rests on my shoulders and the CD is being released globally. The vinyl is already in stores and selling pretty well. The only problem is that nobody knows who the hell I am, and I aim to do something about this! In order to get some extra DJ gigs and raise awareness of the album, I have put together some press kits which will be sent around the world. This is where you come in...

I need to connect with as many industry heads as possible.
This could be any of the following...

- Disc Jockeys & Producers
- Club Owners
- Club promoters
- Record Store Owners
- Music Magazine Personnel
- Radio/Television Connections (PR, DJs, etc)

If you know someone that fits into any of these categories then by all means, email me with their contact info so I can send them a press kit. Who knows? With a little luck and persistence, I might end up DJing in your neck of the woods! So if you know people...or know people who know people, then you know where to reach me...

Thanks in advance!

What's your name / What's the title of the album? I'll cop it.

 

[SamePendo]

Why don't you tell us what your artistic name etc is, and we promote it our own way? (If we like it, that is).

 

[comic_relief]

Yes fingz whats the albums name? I would like to buy a copy for myself?

Reply here or PM I don't really care.

Hey bro,

If life's a demanding mistress, then who's your wife?

And let us in on the promo, you gotta have a track for us to listen to out there.

 

[Desdinova]

Nevermind. I PMed him

 

[Señor Fingers]

Hey guys,

Thanks for the response. If you want more info on the tunes and how to get them, hit me at the email addy. Time short...must run. bye!

 

[Señor Fingers]

BUMP

I could also use some help tracking down record stores in the major cities. The album will be out on CD and vinyl so my target market is privately owned shops that cater to DJs and also regular music shops. If you can, post the info as follows

1. Where you are from
2. Name, address & web info for the store
3. Type of shop (vinyl only, CD only, megastore, etc)

Whoever helps me get another store under my belt gets a free copy of the album signed by me.

I'll e-mail you later Fingz. There are a few local music shops around here that are great for supporting artists. They normally support the local ones the best, but maybe I can do a bit of convincing.

 

[Bonhomme]

There are certainly a few here

But I don't have their info at the tip of my fingers. Perhaps I can find them online.

A few around Detroit, MI are:

Schoolkids (Schoolkids' ?) Records in Ann Arbor, MI (mostly CD?)
Record Time in Ferndale, MI (mostly CDs)
The Record Collector in Ferndale, MI (CDs and vinyl)
Desirable Discs in Dearborn, MI (everything)
The Record Graveyard in Hamtramck, MI (everything)

Yo check out The 5th Element in Minneapolis. Owned by one of the dudes from Atmosphere. Its like a record/hiphop music store. They carry underground sh1t.

Interesting...


I know DJ's and I have contacts to club owners.
But I don't think it would be any good to you since the place I'm in is my little city in Finland..

 

[SamePendo]

I don't know about the rest, but I'm the first!


PS. It's horrible how it's become. You can't insult people anymore...



...since if you don't write here with this little text that you were making a lame joke of someone you'll get BANNED.


ohh... almost forgot! I'm just joking!

Dont discredit your little city. In all my adventures, I've found that sometimes the smaller towns party harder than the bigger ones. Hit me with your address and I will ship you a press kit.

Isn't the whole point of promoting sometime the total opposite?

I think Fingers is taking the mystery/challenge thing a bit too far!

The point is to get people who are sincerely interested in helping out and have the means/connections to do so.

I would like to thank everyone who is helping me out so far. Your press kits are in the mail.
