FC's Chat Recap - Evan Taubenfeld - December 6, 2008
fenderrocks: As you know Evan has taken the time to chat with us today. Please show him and the other members respect. We are here to learn about what Evan has in store for us in 2009. Hopefully we can do this in the best way by having topics to discuss. We ask that you not post constantly, so Evan can get to all the questions.
fenderrocks: We hope you have fun! I'm now going to let Evan post a little intro and we can get the questions started.
EVAN: First off
EVAN: Welcome to the BLC family
EVAN: you guys are just as much a part of this as me
EVAN: so welcome,
EVAN: 2ndly, I hope you're ready for a CRAZY 2009, we have some incredibly exciting things coming up!
EVAN: so, thanks in advance to FenderRocks and Tsuua for organizing this, let the games begin!
fenderrocks: ok Ev, we got 3 topic for you today, to start
fenderrocks: What kind of process is still ahead of you before the album will be out?
EVAN: So, basically
EVAN: the record is completely finished
EVAN: d
EVAN from x.x.x.147 joined the chat 3 seconds ago
EVAN: sorry, my shit logged off
EVAN: anyway, record is finished, Mixed and Mastered
EVAN: we just did 3 photoshoots
EVAN: with Deryk Santini
fenderrocks: guys please hold off let him finish
EVAN: who did Muse, Maroon 5, etc.
EVAN: (no i turned the sound off)
EVAN: we also just redesigned the Evan Taubenfeld Logo
EVAN: which you'll LOVE
EVAN: its very much a wink to the Big Evil logo
EVAN: be prepared to see MySpace get a complete overhaul very shortly
EVAN: with our website to follow!
fenderrocks: Could you give us some info about the "theme" of the album art, did you have a hand in the creative process?
EVAN: (real fast kids!!! lemme answer fenderrocks stuff, then I promise at the end we can get wacky)
EVAN: yea, the "theme" right now isn't completely flushed out
EVAN: it's going to be tons of great photos, with artwork and direction in my cheeky, playful, colorful, candy vibe
EVAN: but I want to find ways to make the packaging special
EVAN: I mean, otherwise you can just download it on iTunes, so we're working to develop some incredible bonus packaging to make it great
fenderrocks: Where was the photoshoot for the album taken, did you enjoy it?
EVAN: I've had a huge hand in it,
EVAN: literally doing meetings @ WBR twice a week
EVAN: so it'll be great!
fenderrocks: We all know you will try your hardest to have as many tour stops as you can, but lets talk about a few other things.
fenderrocks: Will tickets be avaliable for us first, like a pre-sale?
EVAN: I'd certainly hope so, I mean at least 50% of the meetings we have at WBR are about making the Black List Club have incredible perks and rewards, I know that I personally want pre-sales, exclusive meet and greets, exlusive songs, media, hangs, giveaways etc etc etc etc
fenderrocks: Are you planning anything special for stage set up on tour or any venues you would most like to play at?
EVAN: its too early to know what kind of venues, I think at first we'll be opening for peeps at clubs or small theatres
EVAN: stage setup is just to come rock the fucking house
EVAN: !
EVAN: drums, bass, guitars, and me going crazy
EVAN: I have some exciting ideas for show shit
EVAN: you'll just have to come see it
fenderrocks: sweet, Will you do a Promo Tour before a World Tour? (kinda like Avril did for TBDT)
EVAN: yes
EVAN: infact, I'm leaving on weds for a 2 week long promo tour(not on air, just hang outs and handshakes)
fenderrocks: ok awesome now on to the OG
fenderrocks: Will the Briefcase Members be able to help out at concerts as a secondary staff? For Example: Merchandise Stands
EVAN: january-march will probably be very heavily promo tour/radio etc etc, and I know we want to do a ton of that
EVAN: we're discussing that now
EVAN: like, I want to make sure that the BLC is 100% open and welcoming to everyone
EVAN: obviously there will always be TONS of amazing shit for you guys to do and we'd be HONOREd to have you help
EVAN: merch stands, MnG help, promotions, etc you're in!
fenderrocks: I know you have pretty much answered this but its the last topic question
fenderrocks: Will the Briefcase Divison be an exclusive element of the Black List Club, for those who were here first? Could you tell us what will set us apart from the general BLC?
EVAN: thats a good question
EVAN: I mean its INSANELY important to me that YOU guys, the OGs are taken care of and always recognized
EVAN: that being said, it will be our job(all of us) to keep the BLC open to everyone, I think perhaps the Briefcase Division will be the like paid "premier" level
EVAN: but we'd give you guys that for free
EVAN: of course
Tsuua: But Evan, you have the freedom to choose the questions as you want etc.
EVAN: and pimp you with like OG stats etc...
fenderrocks: How bout the concepts for the videos, anything yet?
EVAN: Yes, the PP concept is AMAZING
EVAN: but we're making a few vids for Cheater Of The Year first
