No internet connection today, so I'm going to try to get this off from Kinko's in a little while...
Mike Blas is going to show up with a rental truck he's donating to SOUTH BY DUE EAST 2009 in a couple hours, and we'll be loading stuff to take to Dan Electro's for the four-day filming extravaganza. We plan to hang out for the Thursday night blues jam and unload afterwards. Hopefully, not having toi do that load-in tomorrow will give us a chance to feel a bit better as the night goes on.
It's a great opening night on Friday.

Excuse me for using this prepared text for answering all the basics about what we do at SOUTH BY DUE EAST. At SOUTH BY DUE EAST, we create audio and video recordings for... MUSICeveryMARCH (TV Series)
SOUTH BY DUE EAST Television (TV Series) SOUTH BY DUE EAST Compilation CDs Hippies.TV (TV Series) And various short music video features and feature films to be used to promote our Texas music scene and each of the artists! Particulars - most are on the site.
www.southbydueeast.com It's a movie shoot - we're making a film/video for
the web, and will also make some episodes for our Hippies.TV access show and website, and also compile an audio CD. You might want to consider releasing that yourself! It looks like a small indie music fest. And it is!
This will be our 8th year. We hold a 4-day music fest so we can videotape and record everyone as well as we can. All types of artists play and perform - we videotape & record multi-track audio (and do a set with our band, too). Public is invited, and we promote to get some
audience - hoping they feel like movie-extras and cheer really loud when artists perform. They usually do. No cover charge - no pay. We'll all be fed.
ORIGINAL MUSIC ONLY!
This year, we'll be at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar in
the Houston Heights on the 20th-23rd of March. Friday & Monday begin at 7pm, and Saturday & Sunday begin at 3pm. Please let me know if any of those days won't work for you. We sometimes call it Guy Schwartz & MArlo Blue's
Guerilla Marketing Experiment. When people check out our film because they want to see The Fondue Monks, they must also sit through Hamilton Loomis, From Tha Bottom and Rusted Shut, so, every artist in the film(s) gets exposure to the other artist's online fanbase. We all get a little exposure to the world - and free video with great sound quality. We edit and mix for about a year - about 75% of
those performing make it into the film and maybe 40% on the compilation CD - and all have access to all video and audio for your own projects - Not everyone makes it into the film or TV show. Some
bands will suck that day or we don't capture anything cool (if so - we try again next year), or there is a gear malfunction. The set times are loose, but usually 10-30 minutes.
If we know we've got the stuff we need, and we're running behind or it rained and everyone's sharing a stage inside, sets could be over fast. If the next band hasn't shown up (amazingly - it
happens), you're welcome to play longer, or include others in a jam (nudge-nudge). We may not videotape everything, but the multi-track will continue rolling. You may choose to play a set, or play the same song
a few times (Take 1, Take 2, etc.). Remember - it's a movie shoot! It only looks like a festival! And feels like a festival. If you have a special idea for a special approach to your segment - let's talk! There will be backline, but all artists are encouraged to bring your own gear, especially the visually unique stuff. Everybody's gear looks
different - it's part of the look of the band - and the film IS a visual kinda thing. Anything we choose to edit, you may have access to
in that edited form without cost. If either of us make money from it, there is a
system in place (and on the performance release) describing how monies would be divided (everyone who participates in the making of the 'product' gets a share of the pie - musicians, camera operators, recordists, promoters, editors, post techs, etc.). It's really fair to the individuals, but leans
heavier towards the larger bands. A solo artist gets one share as musician and one as featured artist and one as songwriter, while a band has several musicians (but requires more camera operators and days of editors). If you have in-band video editors who are willing, or know someone, we welcome you to have us give 'em a shot! We take donations to offset costs. Last year we took
in $600, while spending a couple thousand, and hope to offset that further this year. MArlo and I put in about 200 - 500 hours editing and Roger, Mikey and I spend about 250 hours between us on audio post. We don't charge or bill it against the end product - we just take those shares like everyone else. It's got an imaginary built-in hedge for us - if somebody gets famous, we'll have some footage worth $500 - $20,000, but mostly it's our way of giving back to a music community that nurtured us both. We've made money once - a small Colorado cable
network licensed 6 pieces for $50 apiece in 2005, and several artists made between $2-8! <g> We ain't in it for the money. But, the performance release includes language to that effect so an understanding is in place in case we need it. In the end, everyone has more video, more quality
live recordings, more access TV exposure, more web-films spreading their particular musical gospel, and the depth and diversity of the Houston music scene and our touring friends. Plus - we're creating a hysterical archive for musicologists on some metaphorical futurama. What have I left out?
Hope you'll participate!
Thanks!
