name dastardly

 

position a&r

 

job description ‘it’s my job to go out there and and listen to cats, listen to the sounds they make. if i hear a cat with an interesting sound then i’ll pursue that cat, take it out to lunch and maybe try and sign the cat to the label. if i’m successful we’ll record the sound the cat makes and market it to other cats. sometimes the cat might look right but not make the right sound - in which case we have to get another cat to make the sound instead.’

 

 

 

 

name teardrop

 

position office manager

 

job description ‘i try to make sure things go smoothly with the day to day running of the label. often we’re on a tight schedule and inevitably things go wrong – artwork isn’t in the correct format.. one of the cats might want to remix a track at the last minute - whatever, all these things can hold up the production process and if we’re working to a deadline with a press guy or someone waiting the other end then it can get frustrating.. sometimes the only thing to do is send out a bottle of whisky or some catnip.’
