I realize I’ve been talking about building marketing strategies
and release plans, but I haven’t exactly explained what the product will be.
That would probably be quite helpful; it would definitely
help you understand what I’m attempting as a label.
So…
The release I’m currently gearing up for is “7 Inches of Bliss”
by Pantaloon Descendo.
“7 inches of bliss”, because it’s on 7-inch vinyl, but also
because it refers to … uhm… the male apparatus. So, there’s a cool
double-entendre there which I consider to be rather novel; I've decided to exploit this in the artwork:
It’s a short release: only 3 songs. Funny light-hearted
songs. And there will only be 100 copies, all of them hand-drawn, hand-coloured
and hand-numbered in order to increase collector appeal. It was a painstakingly
long operation involving drawing 100 copies, colouring 100 copies, hand-writing
100 copies. It took me countless hours to get it done. Months. MONTHS!!!
In order to help promote the release, The Mustache Club will
be releasing two official music videos.
I already shot and edited both of them, I’m just waiting to
build my promotional plan for the release and for the music videos before I
roll them out.
Essentially, until it’s released, all promotional
initiatives described in this blog refer to “7 inches of bliss”.
