I thought they would be a perfect fit for our new program so I then signed them to a worldwide single deal with us. I believe their music will be able to grow and cross both rap and rock genre. They have a big sound and their music sounds like it should be part of a soundtrack for a movie. Affluent is currently expanding not only its music formats but also its business model structure. We are currently focusing on more Artist development programs for our artist, label and consumers. We have learned how to embrace the Digital Era and now have the ability to give more artist more freedom, more room for creativity and provide for them a platform for more artist development and as well as the chance to get their music heard faster by bring back SINGLE DEALS for artists. “ says Sanchez.

The Phantom Band - DEBUT Music Video
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Phantom Band – The Howling
First Official Video Released Exclusively on MUZU.TV
The critically-acclaimed Chemikal Underground signing The Phantom Band have released their first official music video exclusively on new music video site www.muzu.tv. The video is for the band’s second single The Howling from their amazing debut album Checkmate Savage, which was released in January, 2009. The single will be released on May 25th.
The Phantom Band - The Howling on MUZU.
Alternatively, you can link to it from:
http://www.muzu.tv/thephantomband/the-howling-music-video/193285
ABOUT:
The video was shot in one day at various locations around Glasgow (the band’s adoptive home), with a 40 strong following of the band’s fans standing in as cast and extras. Glasgow actor Allan Tall - who can be seen in Mel Gibson's Braveheart - was enlisted to help with one of the more demanding performance pieces. After rushing from his matinee performance in Cosi Fan Tutti at the Scottish Opera, he was dirtied up and readied to push himself to the opposite end of the spectrum, fantastically pulling off the role of a whisky drinking tramp in the Clyde underpass. The band were reluctant to have a strong role in the video, but those who have seen their storming live shows will be able to spot their cameo appearances dotted throughout the film, even though most are hidden behind the strange tetrahederon masks.

IRIS on the Road: Youtubing It
If you thought working in digital distribution was a life of FTP deliveries, metadata, and oversized computer screens - you're pretty much spot on. With the SF summer coming on early, even we have to get out of the office once in a while. We journeyed down to San Bruno for Lunch with our friends at YouTube...and a little exercise.
