Last week we released our video for “Can’t Expect”. We had the bright idea of filming the entire video on our own using only iPhones. We ran into a few challenges along the way but nothing a few simple household items couldn’t fix. Some carpet, a potato chip clamp, and a strand of cheap lights was all it took. With this now behind us, we are now in full motion working on the “Inner Child” video. We’ve also announced our first show in LA at Amplyfi on May 10th. If you’re from the So Cal area, we’ll be announcing a handful of dates over the course of the Summer!  

Watch the music video for “Can’t Expect” right here!!!

Do you want Barely Blind to play at your college in 2012?

barelyblind:

We’d love to! If you’re part of the concert committee or know someone who books shows at your college, tell them you want to see Barely Blind at your school! Contact Jennifer McConnell (jennifer@icartistagency.com) with the name of your college, city/state, and available dates. Serious inquires only please! If you are part of the booking department or on the college show committee, please contact the appropriate people at your school and go through them.

tdrrecords: First Taste of the WeekIssue #16When I Buy From TDR, Where Does The Money Go?Simply put, when you buy something from TDR Records or our artists, all of that money is invested directly into the current (touring, additional promotion, etc.) or next project and not our pockets. Why? Because we love music and want to release more of it.A lot of articles by big and small magazines and music news sites have been coming out lately about the state of the music industry. I too want to let you know exactly where TDR Records stands and what we do to bring you music, t-shirts, and beyond as an independent business.I started “working” in the music industry over 11 years ago and didn’t figure out there was a business side until I invested thousands of dollars into my band’s (Mayfield) first full length record (recording, CDs, merchandise, etc.) to be released a makeshift record label in my parents house.At that time, I wasn’t thinking about recouping every cent as fast as I could. I was thinking about potentially getting hundreds, if not thousands, of people to hold and listen to my record. It wasn’t until after we started making money back that I realized I could use this capital again to print our next batch of t-shirts, buttons—whatever had our name on it to help grow our audience. This is about the time I started investing in other bands in order to release their music.Fast forward to today, the idea of reinvesting still holds true—and I take great pride in that. I can honestly state that I have never taken a penny from anything that has to do with TDR Records for personal use. I’ve always kept that in a pot for the next potentially successful or failed (but fun) project.This isn’t the way every band, record label, or other business does things, but it’s part of my business model. So, every time you purchase something from my independent label, be it a CD, t-shirt, digital album—anything, I hope you can feel good knowing your hard earned dollars go right back into the next recording, music video, or poster for our bands.
