The Company Band
By:
Blistering.com: What are your feelings on the current sales model for the music industry with regards to the Internet and downloading (legal or otherwise)? Where does The Company Band's recent release strategy fit into that?
Fallon: See above.
Blistering.com: It seems as though The Company Band is a "themed" band. Maybe "themed" is the wrong term, but the band focuses on what I'd call capitalism run amok. Can you elaborate on what drove the band to this focus?
Fallon: Look at us. We scream entrepreneurship. Nothing says success like denim.
Blistering.com: Will that focus continue through (potential) future releases?
Fallon: Only the market dictates our creative mode.
Blistering.com: I came across two other bands with the same name. What will you do if they have a problem with a bigger rock band using the name?
Fallon: You're a real e-sleuth. Go get a job at Google.
Blistering.com: I read that Clutch's Australian concert CD, Heard It All Before, is going to be available on the upcoming Clutch tour. How are sales of the original Australian release going? Do you think you'll run out of the CD by the end of this tour? I hope not (Apr. 14, Madison, Wis.).
Fallon: Fine. I will put one aside for you.
Blistering.com: Will Sign Here, Here and Here and/or The Bakerton Group's new CD be available on the tour as well?
Fallon: The former, no. The latter, yes.
Blistering.com: Did you ever sort out the packaging screw-up with Beale Street in which the digipak design was abandoned without your knowledge in favor of a cheaper jewel case presentation?
Fallon: Yeah.
Blistering.com: What other music are you listening to lately? Are you looking forward to any upcoming release?
Fallon: Fleetwood Mac's first record is great. So are the first half dozen Popol's Blues Band releases. Anthony Robbins’ books on tape are rockers, too.
