Asian Man is an inspiration for us indie/DIY filmmakers working on doing self-distro. Asian Man has kept a small but active production & distribution operation going for a long time now. Aside from releasing albums through Asian Man, most bands on the lable tour the US & other countries, bringing their tunes live to people.
Comments
Yeah, thanks for the comment filmproduktion, yeah, tons of indie rockers & other indie musicians make their own CDs, release them & tour. the habit has not caught w/ the indie film scene yet, but i see that changing in the near future. what's the name of your band? point to a website if you've got one.
thanks!

We got rid of the singer (so you're allowed to make fun of him), and the bassist left, so it's just myself and the drummer. We are self distributing our first tape (and probably the rest of our stuff), and they are all re-recorded with new vocals.
