SF Journal


I was wondering if the guys will still post journal entries on this site, or just on the new one or on both

on which site.. the old site? well i guess it still is up at http://ind.starfieldonline.com/
but im not sure why it still is.... I think to be fair to their label they will post only on their label site.. just an educated guess :)

It kinda sucks how much control the label has over them now that they're no longer independant. Ah well...

If I invited the guys to come and perform at my skool while they are in vic (shauns old skool) do you think sparrow records would try to control that too?

so are you saying there are going to be in victoria soon? i haven't ever talked to them about this, but im assuming they will be busy wherever they go now.. partially because they will most likely be on tour. im guessing they would say no, but this is only a guess for me, not from them. i think if they would say yes to this (what im guessing is a free concert.. outside of a contract), then soon many other fans would hop on the bandwagon (no pun intended) and start asking them to perform at weddings, grads, and birthday parties (yes it has been asked of me before to contact them about this... because 'i know them'.) however if you contacted their booking agent and said hi i'd like the guys to come play at my school etc etc.. and follow the right legal ways (ie. signing a contract, paying them etc).. im sure that would be a bit easier on them. they have to protect themselves legally and financially too now.. it's not just little ole starfield from winnipeg coming.. they now are living nashville, have more band members and family members to support, as well as a house, and a van and all sorts of other stuff.. as well as they also have to keep up their responsiblities to their agents, their label, and their management.
as i banter on.. it's not neccessarily 'sparrow controlling' them.. it's sparrow's job now to take care of the guys (and their booking artists).. that's why they have them!

okay... i looked into having starfield come play a concert at my church a couple months ago (sorry, it never got finaled/never happend for many reasons... one being cost) to come up tp BC either before or after their concert down in WA. and you pay for their travel costs (which means either a flight up for all the guys and whoever else they want to bring, or the gas cost and cost for places they stay at on the way up), pay for a place for them and they people who come with them to stay, pay for lighting and sound if you need to rent it, have to have people to be there early in the morning when they come to the location to have a sound check, etc and those people stay all day and late into the evening after the show to pack up all the stuff for the guys, you pay for any food and beverages they need, etc... and for what i was attempting to get together it would have come to a grand total of anywhere between $2000 to $4000 dollars... and thats with it being a concert people would have had to pay for to get in. it probably would have made enough to cover the costs, but i decided not to risk it with being from such a small church. if its something you're really wanting to do... contact the people who starfield now have as their organizers and ask them about it. they may have an official rider by now with more information on it. if you're wanting to do this at a school, maybe see if the school has some money they'd be willing to put forward for it (some schools do have money for this kidn of thing) or see about getting fundraisers going to get money together and maybe see about booking something later on in time... possibly when they come back to canada, that may bring the cost down.

wowsers, that's a lot! i have also had the brief idea of getting them out here (back to Manitoba), but realized it would cost too much! i didn't think it would be that much! and for not even having a nearly full church at the CD Release thang, i doubt it would work that good! Maybe more advertising would help! But it would be really fun to get them out! i just don't have that kind of money!

More advertising would have definitely helped, especially at the autograph signing.

If I hadn't been keeping an eye on their website and this message board, I probably wouldn't have known about either events. A lot of my friends who went with me only found out through me.

I only started hearing stuff about it on CHVN a few days before the concert.

More advertising would have been a smart smart move.

WOW thats a LOT of money!!! I dont think it would end up costing that much for our skool bc its only for 45min right, and if we got them while they are in vic anywayz then we wouldn't have to pay for the travelling cost, plus if they come to our skool which has about 400ppl, they would be like hey their good, then wanna buy their stuff and go to their concert so it would kinda be like advertising for their band. Our skool should have got them to come in jan!!!! but no we got even instead ... oh well!

about the cd release party.. they did have advertising at CHVN and at inspirations obviously.. we had the posters and flyers on may 22. winnipegers are known to be last minute.. and although you can have all your i's dotted and t's crossed.. that still doesn't mean that people will come. we did lots of advertising on chvn etc for YC Fusion.. but still it wasn't like there was a visible amount of extra people because of that. (I'm not saying that chvn is bad, or advertising there is bad.. they are very nice and always have good prices).

about the concert in the school: try to keep an eye out for them in your area.. if they are touring in that area or what not.. because then of course the cost would be lower since they would already be there. however when we got longday (fka lustre) in for yc.. they only played 1 set which was a combo of worship and their own songs.. im guessing under and hour.. and yes we obviously did have to cover hotel rooms, and air fare and what not.. that's the business :) and that's how they make money (and not lose it).. if for some reason they would pay for their own airfare/hotel etc. but yes if they are in the area.. I know they are booking for dates in Nov/Dec.

PS about their riders.. yes they do have them up at their booking agency. most chrisitan ones do (then again i haven't looked for secular ones).. that's where I've seen TFK's etc etc. Actually Starfield has had a rider for a very long time.. I'd say at least 2-3 years.

the people i was in contact with said they were seeing about putting a new rider together. i knew the guys had another one. but who knows, c'est la vie. if the guys come back in november that would make my day... my birthday is in november. so that would be wonderful.

well...about them coming back to Canada....at the CD thing, they said it will probably be about a year till they come back here! They're trying to get known better down in the States, so don't count on seeing them in Canada for the rest of this year....
