Sorry you are getting nailed in this, but there’s got to be other palces too.

Yeah, so far I contacted mgmt./agents/family of:
Southern Culture on the Skids
Shift
Helium
The Subdudes

Folks, if anybody else out there is looking up bands they can contact, I noticed that some bands that start with “The” are sorted in the Ts!!!!!!! (A big database no-no!) So don’t forget to check the Ts for your friends’ bands.

I’m in the process of looking up some of my favorite bands and contacting their agents and whatnot if they’re on the list. Since apparently, the day of a huge deadline for my fed gov agency, they have nothing better to pay me for.

So far, I’ve only seen Southern Culture on the Skids on the list and totally freaked out. How will they buy their chicken?

Oh, yes, it’s the end of the FY, isn’t it? Being out of the game for this long, I’d sort of forgotten…

As long as you use quotes around their name, SCOTS is easy to find.

Finding “Crisis” is proving a bit harder. I’m sure if I knew a song title or two of theirs, which someone oweing them royalties ought to know, I could find them, too, depite their rather generic name.

Imm, thanks for your kindness man, I lost my father when I was 12 all of a sudden, and this time around we had a while to prepare ourselves for the end with Mom. I have not been online as much in recent months and weeks because I knew the end was near and I was spending time with her while I still had her here to do so. I’m glad I did, I am having a much easier time dealing with her loss because of it. It is good to be back here too, I miss cuttin’ up with you and Cujo and the gang in comments here.

Josh, thanks for the research effort, I’m gonna add your info as an update to the end of Donita’s post so people can find this info quicker. I appreciate your looking into this and reporting the situation back here. BTW, which band were you in on the list if you don’t mind my asking?

rock…..thanks
I was in a band called Crisis from ‘03 to ‘04 which exempts me i think but not the band in general since they’ve been around and putting albums out since ‘93

Hi all….first post for me.

I looked at the list of artists and low and behold my old band is on that list too.
I contacted Sound exchange directly just a minute ago directly by calling them.

…

Hope something I’ve said here helps

Hi Josh F., welcome to FDL.

If you look at one of my previous comments, you’ll notice that I mention Eric Burdon’s agent, with a link. I found that by going to Google and putting this string in the little box:

Eric Burdon The Animals agent contact info

It helped that I knew one of the members in that band, but the point is that it’s ridiculously easy to find most of these folks, because they want to be found. They have contact pages and advertisements because they’re performers and just about any performer nowadays has a website that tells you how to book them or talk to their agents or something. If I hadn’t known who was in the band, I could almost certainly have googled for that information, as well.

And like I said, I don’t know jack about the music industry. I’m not a lawyer, but this doesn’t sound like “due diligence” to me. Perhaps an effort isn’t required here for some legal reason, but if it is I think these guys are in trouble.

Y’know the rule is, once you go from reader to commenting, you are not allowed to go back….

Please continue posting with us.
