Now, The Presidents are back. Presidents' bassist Dave Dederer is happy about the reunion. That appealed to us. There's no way we could have endured the process of signing a new major label deal. By contrast, the Internet seems made for bands like The Presidents, even though Dederer knows it's still not the most popular means of music distribution.
Major labels are better at getting records on the radio.
One, they have the relationships. They still have most of the artists, so they have the leverage to put new artists on the radio. But one cool thing about the online deal is, it's bringing more capital to smaller vendors. It's a democratization of music distribution. The Presidents, meantime, are content with their Internet experience.
