The single will be releases on Monday, the album the following monday.

Monday as in actual monday or monday in "game time"?

Bukowski Fist Records would like to audition Shiloch Shamoo.

That would be fine - I'd be okay with the older members practicing, so long as the younger members will be available to fully flesh out any public performances.

asn't aware that there was really game time.
Actual monday.

I added a list of performing venues on this thread. You can now choose to tour your artists as well. I will add more formal venues such as concert halls later today, but so far I have posted a list of bars and clubs in MB City.

Shamoo comes to your studio with an incredibly large and complex set of various percussion instruments. He begins with a quick original composition he calls "Oye Voi" on xylophone and marimba. He double mallets the instruments and is able to play both of them at the same time. He follows that up with a more traditional drum solo on his custom kit, which he does not have a name for. Although unremarkable, it shows that he can at least get around on the drums. Next, he plays a slow rendition of the jazz standard "Embraceable You" on vibes, giving it a sultry and chilled feel. Right after that he goes into a lively and cute rendition of Mozart's "Rondo A La Turk" which gets progressively faster and faster to the point where at the coda his hands appear as a brown blur. You notice a few minor mistakes and note that to your audio engineers. Immediately after that he goes into a haunting rendition of Mark Oldfield's "Tubular Bells", which catches your audio engineers' attention and displays his brevity and ability to play multiple instruments at the same time. However, towards the end of the 15-minute rendition, you begin to grow impatient and weary. Finally he finishes it off with an original composition called "Happily Ever After" which features him on drumset, marimba, vibes, steel drum and xylophone (sometimes all at the same time). It's a bombastic finish to what your engineers call an "imperfect but altogether exhilarating experience". They also note that "we're grading this guy a bit harder because he is not merely a popstar, but a legitimate musician"

I feel like this guy could be a valuable asset. Not commercial, but talented and certainly deserving of representation. I'd also imagine that he'd do quite well as a live act. I'll sign the guy.

He thanks you and proceeds to ask if you can book him a live gig. He says he really enjoys performing before a crowd and he hasn't done it in over 7 years.

New Feature Added: Sabotage!
 

Alright. To make this game a bit more spontaneous and "intense", I've decided to add sabotage as an option. Here is what you can do to sabotage a rival record company:

• Hire a sabateur to destroy tapes
• Hire a vandal to trash a studio
• Hire a theif to steal tapes
• Hire a murderer to kill an audio engineer or a band member
• Hire an investigative journalist to "dig up dirt" on other record companies and their signed artists

Now keep in mind that...

1. It is very unlikely for you to be successful in these events. Murder is especially unlikely to be pulled off smoothly
2. There is a fair chance that you will "get caught" in which I will post your evil doings on the forum and you will lose popularity and credibility.

If you would like to do one of these actions, please PM me and tell me what you want to be done. This way the acts stay secret until somebody is either successful or caught.
