Hi There!!!!

We are a (signed) band indie/metal band from Plymouth, looking to get some practice in before an upcoming tour. We are CRAZILY loud, BRILLIANT fun, PROPER mental and will be SURE to keep the neighbours up but the crowd VERY happy lol

If you can pay our coach expenses and give us 40% of the door money, we COULD be interested in playing at your small venue.

Let me know; either way,

Julian

Hey, good luck with it all, we’re an acoustic style venue... Drummers play with rods ‘n’ brushes.... Indie, well yes... Metal... Eekk, no I’m afraid....

However....

I might be able to offer you some fantastically priced studio time.... And a shit hot metal producer...!

Sorry can’t help with the venue thing...but would love to record you guys....

Harry Link.

Huh?

It doesn’t sound like things are going to well for you brother?

From an analytical point of view you might find your approach style not to the taste of many venues....

For instance...

Hi There!!!!

(fine)

We are a (signed) band indie/metal band from Plymouth,

(to who? What label...)

looking to get some practice in before an upcoming tour.

(We don’t have bands practice in our venue, only fully rehearsed and ready to play bands)

We are CRAZILY loud,

(Not a good selling point by today’s standards)

BRILLIANT fun, PROPER mental

(Great stuff!)

and will be SURE to keep the neighbours up

(Again, that’s unfortunately why we are selective)

but the crowd VERY happy lol

(Great!)

If you can pay our coach expenses and give us 40% of the door money, we COULD be interested in playing at your small venue.

(Research, research mate.... We don’t charge on the door.... We just pay bands to play and take a killing at the bar..)

Let me know; either way,

(You should be allowing 48 hours for a reply really, mate.... I felt a little hassled by it to be honest... I get a lot of bookings and many of them are months in advance and take a couple weeks to finalise...)

And last of all .... Name of band? Myspace? Recordings to listen to? Pictures... ? Feedback? Press pack..... the list goes on.... It’s not hard mate... By today’s standards you should have pointed me to the whole promotional package.... And I could have checked you out...

Take care, best of luck...

Harry.

Harry,

You clearly know NOTHING about the music industry. PLEASE don't insult me with your opinions on my (signed) band.

Now go and tape some wires to the floor wearing a black t-shirt and jeans.

TOO busy to deal with wannabes today,

Julian

PS you are NOT invited to our next gig

And you are clearly a little boy just starting out in the industry....

You’ve got a temper like a little girl.... And I very much doubt you are signed....

...it’s a bit more than putting your signature on the bottom of a bit of paper!

You can’t even name your band.... Ha ha ha Now that is funny.... Call yourself a manager.... Ha ha ha...

You’ll see someday that the rest of us don’t deal with people the way you do.

Which is what makes me think you’re just a young lad, wet behind the ears....

Ha ha ha.... Not invited to your next gig.... Ohhhh Dear....

Good luck, you’re gonna need it with that attitude mate...

Harry.

Look, I am manager and drummer of The Argyle Style.
We got together VERY recently. We ARE signed (Parlafone).
YOU, on the other hand are just a GONAD with nothing better to do that HALT our progress.
Now PLEASE leave your jealousy out of this. It is NOT my fault you never found the right band for
your strange taste in music.

Julian

The argyle style....

Fucking hell could you have thought of a worse name?

Seriously.... You’re little school band....

Rubbish.... Just heard you... You’ve got nothing more than a bunch of dated old ideas from your def leotard collection

AND you’ve named your band after a stitch used on golfing jumpers...

Maaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Why, because of Plymouth Argyle .....?

Ohh deary deary me.

For someone who NEEDS our business, I am DISGUSTED by your lack of professionalism.

Now, before I report you to your boss, let's get back to business:

I've just got some rods and brushes off ebay. How much will you pay us to perform?

Let me know,

Julian

I am my boss.... Unlike you.... I’m an independent/freelance musician...

I’m all up for stopping this arguing because you’re now wasting my time....

I don’t need your business... Musicians and bands are two a penny and music is free to copy illegally

So why are you bothering? You think you’re gonna make it at 33? Lol!@ there’s kids with more chance mate!

Good luck with you hot rods and brushes... Lol

Look... Just leave it mate... I don’t want your business.... I couldn’t care for your band.... Seriously... Don’t kid yourself that you’ve been signed....

It really is a joke.... ! I’m signed? Three labels.... ? Means nothing though... Doesn’t make me famous! Overrated mate...if you knew about the current industry trends...people are opting for different things these days....

Why a Scottish Jumper pattern for a band name then?

That’s the least rock band name I’ve ever heard????? Even Def Leopard sounds better than that....

Let’s quit the arguing....

But rest assured... It can get worse for us....so let’s leave it here dude alright? I’m sure we could insult each other all day....

H

Plymouth Argyle.... Ha ha ha...

Ok Mr. brain box... Just couldn’t help noticing the actual name of your band is named after a Scottish Stitch..... Lol! So fucking sad....

As it happens... Fucking Twats is what I like to do at the weekends..... While you’re clearly putting your leathers on....and off out for some Bumfucking

With all your little rock boys.....

So you’re into Football.... You’re a cook.... (Greasy spoon cafe) ... And you play music as a hobby?

Riiiight....

Lol!

Jeesus I can’t even find anything on you...

You type in “The Argyle Style” into Google... All I get is knitting....

Are you sure you don’t all just make jumpers?

Der, we have only JUST signed. What is your problem? I do wonder you are so quick to reply to my emails - you probably NEVER go out. You clearly have no friends and (probably) bad acne (please confirm).

I was trying to help you and COULD have made us both a LOT of money (let alone almost GUARANTEED sex).

Now you are just clutching at the straws of a massively lost argument.

Save it for the critics Smash Hits boy.

When you are in your 20s, you MAY understand a LITTLE about this industry.

GO back to youth club; either way.

Wanker!

I’ve just realised who you are.... Ha ha ha ha... Pretty much describing yourself with no friends and acne....lol!

Now listen....

You’re the one advertising your gigs.....

I’m the one fucking with your graphics before you play.... Lol!

It’s you who needs to be careful.... I’d think nothing of cracking your knees before you’re due on stage.... Save the world of a spotty fucking rock drummer!

I’m quick to respond because I run a business from home dip shite... Yes...I earn a living sat at my computer talking to wankers like you...and believe me, you’re not the first!

And neither are you the first person I’ve fucked the sound up on lol!

Look over your shoulder at your gigs.....

If you notice something funny... About the sound.... You may just see me in the audience.... Lol!

When I worked for Fifteen I was on £6.50 an hour, so you can SHOVE your arrogance.

And IF you are telling the truth it would be good to know if I should persevere with this music lark.

PLEASE tell me? Record year? Have you ever paid tax at the higher rate (22%)?

Let me know.
