Just Venting...

Just so all you interneters and real Worx followers know, the songs on our playlist page, our youtube videos, or any other live recordings are NOT doctored up in the studio and then synced up to the video. With alot of bands, it's totally done in the studio and then put on youtube with pictures of audiences. It's all part of the marketing game and alot of bands are guilty of it. The fact is, what you hear from a band's website and what you hear live from the same band can be dissapointing. And if you book the entertainment for your establishment, the last thing you need is a band giving you a false impression. It happens too much as it is.....

club owners, etc. To be able to meet with them, get a sense of their club's vibe, as well as a sense of their clientel, their willingness to co-op promoting a show, and create productive ways to make a show a financial success for all involved is all part of the package and is invaluable to both the band and club.

We are not a puffed up band. We pull off what we record live. We will continue to go about this honestly, and yet deliberately. The people who listen to us know what we are about. Those that are hearing us for the first time are somewhat "enlightened" by the experience. We'll keep doing it with or without sponsors, etc., and keep on a steady track of

You really shouldn't be let down wether you are the club owner, or the listener. Plus, you already know that the success of your establishment depends on the quality of the entertainment you put on. It won't take long for you to have a

reputation as a great venu for live music, but you'll never shake the reputation of being a "whole in the wall" that books "The Back-Yard Bubbas" for $300.00 a show. Here in Mobile, there are a couple of bands that rely on the fact that their "cousin" plays in a famous band, etc. They command performance fees way in excess of their talent, and cost club owners dearly. Worx is probably the most consistant sounding band anywhere, as well as the most economically friendly to

playing music honestly without compromising the entertainment aspect of being a live band. With our following growing every month, coupled with investments in our stage show, you can bet our rates will be going up.....

Worx enjoyed modest radio play from 2007 - 2009 with 106.5 The Pirate, which was comprised of people that jumped ship from 92 Zew, but what the band did NOT know was that they were getting involved in a "tiff" between two radio stations. Worx became guilty by association, so when 106.5 changed format to a talk station, the band naturally turned to the other local station. Worx was not a newcomer to the station. In 2001 and 2002 Worx's 1st album "One" was in the hands of Brian Hart. But nothing ever came of it.

Since the format change by 106.5, and at least 4 cd's in their posession, 92 Zew abstains from doing anything with Worx. It's sad, but true. "Area 251" is a 1-song program that 92 Zew has to promote local bands. Worx has never been on that, probably never will. "2nd Tuesday" is a locally broadcasted (radio & tv) 30-minute show that promotes local talent. Catch the show on Comcast 6 and check it out, then check out a Worx show.

Worx would like to give a special thanks to Renee Wallace of Paint Party Studios. She did this sketch for the band's newest album "Retrosonic".

Thanks Renee, you are so AWESOME!!!

If you find anything about Worx in the media, it will usually be in print these days. Newspaper mostly, and time to time one of the local publications that come out bi-weekly. Most of the time it is just a listing for where the band is performing.

One thing that is becoming noticeable is the underlying association between a particular publication and a local radio station. Recently, a local original band was voted "best band", the lead singer "best vocalist", and a guy that has seen his better playing days way behind him voted "best guitarist". The publication took "ballots", and published the results which was somehow broadcast on the local radio station. What was so significant was that no other stations reported on it! Surely wasn't in the newspaper...

The radio station and publication lost a lot of clout with a lot of legitimate bands by doing what they did.

No thanks to that kind of PR......
