I also got the message via my old band's (Huntingtons) myspace page. I emailed them back thanking them for their inquiry and politely told them that the band played our last show ever last July. I then told them that the singer and the drummer now have a new band called In The Offing and that me and the other guitarist have a band called Main Line Riders.
HUNTINGTONS had been a national touring band for a decade. We played as Joey Ramone's backup band for his final two live performances. We've toured Europe and made 15 albums.
In the chance that this was legit I went ahead and gave them my number.
I got the call today from some guy who right away hit me up for the $299 for six months. The whole sales pitch "blah blah gave me your number and said to call you, because you guys rock!"
I knew it was crap from the moment that started. I told him that we'd played our final show ever last summer and that we've got new bands now. New bands (as in, we ain't got nothin' recorded yet!) and he was tryin' to sink me for all the bands. It was ridiculous.
I cordially got off the phone and within a minute he tried to call back again.
This is an absolute crapfest, folks. It's just a way to take your money and do nothing for you.
Do NOT believe it.
Just as was said earlier in this thread...if they're askin' you for you money, then it ain't real.
The guy's big sellin' point was that they will not take a cent commission from anything that gets played or any record deals you get or whatever. All they want is $299 every six months. I had to choke back the laughter.
later...Cliffy
