Dutch (near monopolistic) concert organizer Mojo announced through the Dutch media this week that it will seek cooperation with record companies. According to Mojo they need the record companies to scout and support new artists - who can then of course have their gigs arranged by Mojo. Mojo sounds even willing to pay the record industry for their A&R work, thus sharing in the increase that live performances have in the total artist revenue. For a moment I thought this was a bad thing, keeping the dinosaurs alive - but then I remembered that We Are The Record Company! It must be that Sellaband staff are already talking to Mojo and soon cash will be flowing our way... or do we really expect SellaGig to take off soon? (VB)
