barteroo2002 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Guys. My band are currently sorting out management and distribution and possibly record label stuff. To achieve this, we've got this webpage as a sort of 'interactive business card' - make any sense!? We've got a publishing and recording agreement with our producer - he's been involved with the band even longer than I have - but we're trying to move things forward. [url="http://www.topcatmusic.co.uk/nife/"]http://www.topcatmusic.co.uk/nife/[/url] Anyway, I felt like breaking with Band protocol and just getting some fellow musicians to check it out! Any thoughts are welcome. Don't judge the bass playing too harshly!! Haha! And if anyone wants to talk about the 'industry' side of music, please feel free - advice/questions/anything. Cheers for checking this out. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 The page itself is a great idea! How many of us have faffed about making sodding press packs? Although the music's not really my thing, I enjoyed it and felt it was well executed! Good luck! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyp28 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) I really like the production on all the songs and the content is really good as well. Every thing sits so well in the mix, not normally my sort of music but i will be listening to this for a while now. All the best and hope every thing works out for you.

Mykesbass Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Scott, nice page and music sounds great. The only point I would make is, OK, so the URL is for a page on the management companies website but there are no links if someone has gone directly to your page for contacts etc. Sure, you can, as I did, edit the URL to get there, but I would have thought this should be made more obvious for potential bookers or anyone who wants to be in contact. All the best with this, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best with this, Mike[/quote] Cheers for your feedback. I think the idea of this page is that it is only accessed by people that we are already in contact with. eg - TopCat is emailing a contact, say A&R guy from RecordCompanyXYZ, saying "Remember the band I told you about? Well, check this page out for details..." It's not accessible if you don't know the URL - Google won't get you there. We thought about linking to our MySpace/Facebook etc but both of those are a bit sh*te cos they're under our old name "Nicole Fermie"! Thanks for saying though - really appreciate that you wanted to tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our producer is a freelance mastering engineer - Tim Oliver - we're one of his first projects that he's completely overseeing and producing. He really is the man! (Seriously...) If he can't make it sound good, there's no hope! Glad you picked up on that - he'll be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleblob Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Good website and whilst I haven't had chance to listen to all the music, sounds pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Scott Nice site. Great sound for a three piece - I know how hard that is. Really liked: 'Bend Your Knees' and 'Information Overload'. Oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barteroo2002 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Cheers for checking it out, Oggy. I'm quite pleased with how the end of Information Overload sounds, so I'm glad you dug it! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barteroo2002 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Just an update (and a Bump! hehe...) but the page now operates under nifemusic.co.uk and nifemusic.com. I think this is much better and we're now working towards fleshing it out for it being our main public interface. We're actually going to ditch facebook (as Nicole Fermie band) as our main point of contact and will switch to just updating the website with upcoming gigs and hopefully having regional mailing lists. Any thoughts would be great guys - there are some really knowledgeable dudes on this forum! Thoughts on the music/business/anything!?

xilddx Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We (Kit Richardson) are supporting NIFE at the Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush on 18th November. I bought the NIFE album and it's cracking! Really looking forward to the gig! And I hope to see some Basschat members there.
