    Default RCA/SONY Record Deal Baby

    Yes this is true, my band Wide Eyed Coma is actually signing a deal with RCA records, second weekend in August, I am so excited I can't hardly stand it, no only are we signing to a record label, we are signing to a HUGE label.

    Here is how it happened.

    My guitar player Jason works for microsoft, in the shipping/receiving dept, well it just so happened that the son of the CEO of RCA records came in to check on his machine, they got to talking, one thing led to another, he got our CD, he loved it, called his dad, his dad said lets do it, get them over here, lets sign them and make sure they have a lawyer present. The son will be producing our album, he just finished producing and recording Faith Hill and Tim Mcgraws new CD's and is currently working on American Idol winner David Cooks CD, not to mention other projects, so we are meeting with them the 2nd or 3rd weekend in August.

    This is such a HUGE dream come to for all of us, I just can't believe that it is coming true.

    We all however know that it is going to be very hard work, lots of shows, lots of pressure, but man this is what we all want, this kind of hard work is worth it in our opinions.

    Just thought I would share my great news, I am so excited.

    Very big congratulations!!!

    Good luck cuz now you must conform to your employer.

    Just a couple words of caution. Be sure you read and understand everything. Some "signers" steal the life of a band making them do this or that which may conflict with your ideals and you have to decide if it is what you really want. Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks everyone, and YES we are going to go in this very cautiously, we already have a very good lawyer, and we will ride the wave as long as we can, and if and when it end, at least I can say is I got to ride it.

    And I will NEVER forget were I come from, I am very down to earth, this to me is just a next step in our career, but I will never forget my friends, or my buddies at drum chat, you probably won't even no anything has changed.

    Congrats Kevin!! I know you've worked hard, so although this is called "luck," luck is really nothing more than skill and opportunity coming together at the right moment. Best to you and the band!
