FIGO ROCKS THE FESTIVALS

What is the most important attribute a young band can have? Chops? Nope. Great Songs? Nope. Good looks? Sorry.

The most important quality a new group can have is the ability to network.

Figo, Tedstock allums, and good friends of mine are having a great summer playing festivals around the country. They played Lollapalooza in Chicago a few weeks back, and are playing the Amsterjam festival at Randall's Island here in NYC this weekend.

How did Figo achieve this success.

Work. Working rooms, parties, events, anything.

DJ-ing parties and events has been a huge factor. Unable to play on a stage at Coachella, Figo shows up to DJ some after parties. This, in turn, leads to connections, and gigs.

I will be at Randall's Island this saturday, and so will Tom Petty.

How cool is that?

Comments:
Thanks for the reminder on these guys.

BTW... have you heard any of the X's new album yet? I just order it today.

I'll pick up a copy soon, let me know how it sounds.
 
Thanks for your help yesterday!! How fucking cool was Tom Petty???
 
My pleasure.

Completely cool.
