Hey Jeff, early last year you played in Lanceston Tasmania. I had just started up my own donation based label inspired by Quote Unquote then, and had a pretty quick chat to you about it. Just wanna say that meant a lot when it was just getting started!
What are your thoughts these days on running a donation based label?
I sometimes think momentarily that perhaps donation isn't the way to go, when I see people who totally can pay for music but don't. But ultimately I want to build a culture here where people choose to support an artist in whatever way they are able, and so people having that choice and understanding it is necessary.
If you do plan to come back to Tasmania at some point, would you be interested in playing as part of a little Productive Pursuit Records weekender thing? It'd be really amazing to have the guy who inspired this whole label joining us for something like that, if that ever works out!
Also, just wanna say it was super inspiring to see your band and Antaricgo Vespicci put on a hell of a show that night, even if the turnout wasn't massive. My mate Joel had the biggest grin on his face when you handed him your guitar to play at the end of your set!
And yeah, I just figured if/when you're gonna be around anyway, it could happen.
Here is the Facebook for Productive Pursuit Records if you feel like getting in touch next time you're here!
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
