We signed a record deal
« on: April 09, 2012, 02:43:30 PM »
Well, after some weeks of negotiating, The La La Lies signed a record deal with a small but very nice Dutch label. In May we'll have a digital single out, another at the end of the summer and after the summer our album (it's ready) comes out on cd and vinyl! Very exciting! As a bonus they threw in two support slots in halls of 2,200 and 1,500 people :D

We're already signed to one of the best booking agencies in Holland, so together this can be great! :) (Music world still is like a lottery)

More to follow! :)

Outstanding!  Congrats!  Now, don't take too much front money.  Tour cheap and bank the money.  If you make a profit on the first album, they will probably give you another shot.   :thumbsup:

Thanks again!
We don't get any advance money. We already recorded the album with our own earnings of gigs. They will do promotion, radio plugging and pressing of vinyl and CDs.

Of course I'll post some music when possible!
