This is why you never get in bed with the enemy. The situation very rarely ends in your favor. I do understand the allure of fame, fortune, blahbedy blah. But here’s the thing: Team Robespierre is really great, but they in no way appeal to the MTV crowd. Not even the alternative MTV crowd. And they shouldn’t try because they’ll have to dilute themselves, thus poisoning their message with weakness.
Here’s the video that caused such a commotion:

that is so fucked!
they should have known that the old business models do not apply!! I mean look at the footage in the video, clearly they are a success, or at least on a successful track: packing lofts, getting shut down by the cops, and having the video featured on various blogs etc…
i can’t believe that spent all that extra money on a SINGLE viewing of a 3 minute song in the middle of the night. How much was it? one thousand dollars? (in arnold voice)..
take that one thousand dollars, buy a projector and a generator drive around in your band van and screen the video whenever you see a good wall.
or sit in your favorite hipster bar or starbucks if that’s your way w/ your laptop and offer $1 to 1000 people to sit and watch a 3 minute video on your computer. I’d take the dollar from a stranger!

or better yet, if your band is better live anyway, take your shit and play on some street corners.
