CB’s filed bankruptcy (chapter 7) after being with Curb for two years with no album put out, citing financial mismanagement, unfair recording and publishing contracts and $800,000 in debt. Also hoping to get out of their contract to Curb/Halsey. Curb then turned around and tried to sue CB when they tried to record with another label. Curb later dropped the suit. So this would explain what happened with CB’s first attempt with a record deal, and how they were able to find such great additional band members on such short notice.

Now to find out about 6wire………………….

Oh, and yes MJS was definitely spot on.

As far as Six wining over the CB, I hate to have such a business view of it but I just can’t help it In this business if it was all about talent, main stream music would not be the garbage we have now days. I would agree that Six is absolutely the tightest band all around. But I think with a little more time CB has the potential to become every bit as good as Six, with the advantages of youth to carry it through. (I know this is not a very PC view of things, but unfortunately you have to think this way in the entertainment world.) It’s all about the whole marketing package, as warped as it may be. Also I can’t help but wonder why it didn’t work out with Six when they had scored a big contract in Nashville a few years back?

BTW, I sincerely don’t think LOD or DMHO will make it to win, if they do I’ve lost all faith in the democracy of voting, and humanity in general

I just viewed Friday’s show, Six is a great band, but I don’t really seeing them appeal to the mass market enough. As Dicko said “their market”. Shame, really, these guys bring it and bring it right.

With the addition of a rythm section, the CB’s definately raised the bar of the competition. Whoever their new bassist is, that guy is GOOD!!!! I’d say the, if not one of the, best bassists of all the groups competing.

Between DMHO and LOD, hands down winner is DMHO. Too bad solid musicianship doesn’t hold to novelty act.

I’m still going for Six at the end, mainly because they write better than the CB’s do. I don’t think that’s enough to get them recorded, but I like what the Six does and how they do it.

Man, would I like to see a taping, must be so much more of an experience than what I see on an edited broadcast, sigh.

If the producers are looking for a band that is going to appeal to the greatest consumer market right now (which is 15-25) they just missed it, because that was the Dots. The Clarks are second, don’t get me wrong I think they are incredible, musically, vocally, showmanship wise, but they still don’t have the urban teenage appeal. I think 6wire is technically the tightest, but the only people that are going to buy their records and tickets are 40 something housewives and they don’t spend money on music/bands. They just don’t have the same general market appeal.

So I am going to put all my Dot votes (all 680), into the Clarks and pray for the best.

PS. I think someone will pick up LOD for a Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers deal.

Well there’s my two cents, whatever it’s worth

Anybody know?

Caffiend – are you going to both?

ETA: Actually, the finale is three bands I think so you’ve got a good chance.

CBFTW!

Dotx3, well, they should have still been around over LOD to give Six and CB a better competition. They are a very entertaining group, but as with all bands, we only see the broadcast, not the whole stage when any of the bands perform. I think, visually, even though many blogs repeat the emo-leprechaun thing, the dude is still a great front. He nails his front with lots of showmanship. Even if not his vocals. A bit panicky at times, I agree with Dicko there. They deserve an exit interview, that’s poor they don’t get one!!!!!!!!

Sixwire has stepped it up. The thing is, they came in as country and are bending to the “rock” thing that seems to be going on with NGAB. I really liked their Stones cover, I absolutely loved it. Those guys attacked that song. I’m with Goo-Goo boy, they owned it. The Stewart cover blew when the bass thumb-slapped. That guy should know better than to disco-funk slap. Especially since he knows how to play. Yeah, housewife fantasy pretty boys. But, they CAN play and play well. I’d buy a ticket to see them.

The only thing about DMHO is they don’t have a real market as far as the show goes. Honestly, I would buy a ticket to see these guys, the tightest musicians on the show. But, for the show, NOPE, sad that musical talent gets sidelined for the “rock” flavor the show is expounding.

Now we are at the Clark Bro.’s. Is it THAT much of a surprise that they added musicians????????????? Good grief, Goo-Goo boy asked that question about a bottom end early in the competition, and Dicko went further with the same thought. Save Shiela’s gushing, c’mon now. Duh, so they added some pro’s. Okay, no surprise. A 3-piece acoustic doesn’t get much record sales, except in niche markets. At least it fleshes their sound out. They are good, but I wouldn’t buy a ticket to see them.

Simply put, whoever wins, will tour. That means ticket sales. And that they sell their album.

It’s between Six and CB, I think Six is there.
