CANDY DINNER - About Us

About

The Reason Being: In the ever increasingly digital world (or rather, almost completely and totally digital world?) many record labels are finding it difficult to adapt. Yes of course some savvy labels have a strong following, but a lot of labels that relied on CD sales are gone or struggling to reinvent themselves. After all, it's expensive and time consuming to produce and market music. In response a lot of artists are going totally DIY and selling their music on itunes, MySpace or via other online means, but so can a bazillion other bands. Often times these bands become a needle in a haystack.

Candy Dinner is a small community of artists that want to distribute their music without having to rely on record labels and all the Jazz that might go with that. We don't really offer financial or PR support though we do make an effort to promote our roster through various means. Candy Dinner is simply a curated free distributor of music.

Our main motive is to encourage people to not worry about getting their music out to listeners. So go ahead and make that bedroom recording you're always wanted to. How about a field recordings? Yes please! Comedy record? What about that album you labored over only to find that the label folded before anything got pressed? Bring it! As a word of caution, we aren't putting just anything out all willy-nilly. We only put out stuff we think fits our aesthetic, whatever that might be. It's really not all that different than a traditional record label, we just have zero overhead.

"But digital sucks!" We know, we love the ye ol' vinyl too! But we think this can work! All Candy Dinner artists are encouraged to have their albums pressed, do a 7" or even sell CD's that are siting in the back of your closet. Maybe even posters or shirts? We'll help you sell it. It is our belief that it is easier in this current landscape to sell a product that people already know and maybe even have, than it is to sell things sight unheard. True or not? It's just a feeling we have.

So are you interested? Contact us personally and let's see if we're a good fit.
