Band Together

Unlike the Commission or the Shizz, which blend disparate musical styles together, the uniformity of punk guarantees a built-in audience for its site, its free 'zine and its compilation CDs.

Both the Shizz comp and the Commission comp will try to give the AZPunk.comp Volume 1 CD a run for its retail money. In something of a marketing coup, the punk album has been in the top three of Zia Record Exchange's local music chart for the past 11 weeks -- apparently no one can pass up 30 bands for $3. Pop, however, is a more fickle fancy -- will the Shizz's quality control win over a dormant sector of the listening public that doesn't know what it wants? Ditto for the Commission bands who are not yet collectively represented by a CD? Among the points raised at the Commission's meeting was a proposed mobile live recording of all the bands at Chaser's sometime in the near future.
