About, well Us and Everything we want to do...

I started this online magazine, named after a song by one of the most influential artists in my lifetime, I call it Xombiewoof Music Magazine, or just Xombiewoof, for short. I stated it as a blog talking about what I love, Music... as a Musician, a drummer specifically, I wanted to to share my thoughts about music and about instruments and more. in the past 4 years since I started it, I now review music from artists all over the world, talk with and interview musical greats and find myself delving more into the music industry than some magazines that have a larger "Rep", mostly because it's all about the music and not the money

We don't have big advertisers, frankly most of our "ads" are free to companies that I have connected with in exchange for meeting their sponsored artists or as a thank you for the review materials.

one thing I have noticed is that with Music being such a formidable force for the development self esteem and self worth, schools and educational institutions are having a horrible time keeping programs alive, I decided I needed to do something.

I want to start a Record Label / Recording Studio that also houses a Music Museum and Music School. Xombiewoof records will be a place where we can find talented artists and produce quantity music, provide a service to the musical community and create a safe learning environment for kids. Part of Xombiewoof records will be "The Free-Space" Studios, an after-school program, open to the community to provide a central location with Educational resources, such as tutors for Education needs, Math, English, Science and Tutoring and lessons in Music!

Xombiewoof Records / Free-Space Studios will also offer Summer "Rock Camps" that will be day camp activities for kids with an interest in music to learn about music, attend music clinics and meet recording artists that can steer them towards a rich and rewarding future with music. Best of all, the Record Label part will financially support the educational part, so we can offer the services and educational resources FOR FREE TO KIDS!

This is all part of our plan for the Heartbeat4Kids Foundation, a planned service to support educational resources in our community, and with luck and hard work, we will be able to open a "Free-Space" Studio in every Major City!

But we have to start with One!

Short Summary about the Record Label

Xombiewoof Records is a small independent Record Label to be started with the intent of seeking out and recording music by new and unsigned artists.

Music is a life affirming gift, it can bring you happiness and give hope when all seems low. Music allows us to express ourselves and find in others the words that capture our feelings. there are countless musicians and artists in the world that for one reason or another are not able to get their talents recorded and shared with the world. Even in this age of technology when music is easily downloaded and "shared" bands that are unsigned have limited ability and resources. 

We want to be the game changers, the "fairy godfathers" of music, we have started the development of our Recording Studios and Mastering Facility, and we have contacted Record Pressing facilities in Los Angeles, New York and Indiana that will do our Vinyl Production and Packaging.

What We Need & What You Get

Yes, we said "Vinyl", there was a time when making a record meant you made it to the top and you would create something that would be treasured by fans all over the world, The record gave way to the CD, and then to Digital Media, however the avid collector, hardcore fan and old school music lovers still seek out Vinyl, the sound quality is superb and there is nothing more fascinating than placing that big black disc on a turntable.

In recent years, Records have made a grand comeback, Record Companies have started Producing Vinyl again, Small Record Labels are popping up everywhere and Record Stores have become an Oasis of Musical Adventures once more.

As I said earlier, Xombiewoof started as a small independent music and entertainment magazine 4 years ago and we have grown into an Online Publication that is now read on computers, tablets and cellphones all over the world, translated into 4 languages and we specialize in music reviews and connection artists with fans and potential fans. Xombiewoof is perfectly paced for taking the next step in music reporting, by creating an outlet for unsigned artists to bring their music to you!

Unlike a traditional Record Company, we are not going to Contractually sign the Artists to produce a specific amount of records, each artist will be approached by us and offered a "Pressing Agreement", The agreement will obligate the band to come up with no less than 40% of the Recording and Production Cost, we will record and Produce a "Limited Edition", collectable record pressing that will be numbered and assigned a letter of authenticity, distributed to record stores and through direct sales through our Big Cartel site - http://xombiewoofrecords.bigcartel.com, and the band will receive, after production costs are met, their initial 40% of cost and an additional 25% of the sales. Pressings will be limited to no more than 2000 copies of any album or single, there will be subscription services , like a "Record of the Month" Club and we will also post the music for streaming at our Soundcloud page - https://soundcloud.com/xombiewoof, where our artists' music can be heard, along side nationally supported artists and other independent music publishers, bringing our subscribers and the public new music daily and always providing alternatives to the norm.

Once we have met our obligation to produce, publish and market the bands single or album, we will connect with marketing agencies, PR agencies and larger labels to "shop the album" with the band and get them connected with a Label that will possibly sign them to a larger contract, or the band can stay with us and make as many or as few albums they like.

The Impact

Our major impact Goal is to help artists young and old achieve their dreams and create a collection of works from artists all over the united states, and possibly the world. we will be taking a large portion of the proceeds and using it to support the Heartbeat4Kids Program to continue Music Education in Schools as well as an after school program to keep kids in school and off the streets.

We have already connected with 5 Musical groups and have started production on the masters for 2 of the upcoming releases, lets make some magic together. Supporters of this project have a unique opportunity to be part of a great project and will be noted on each pressing as contributing producers. we will forward to you info on the bands you have supported and they will be your fans and your greatest admirers.

Standard Pressings and Editions will be on standard Black Vinyl, where Limited Editions, Subscription Picks and Specials will be on Single, Mulch-colored or Blended Color Vinyl, each one becoming not just a source of great music, but a truly "one of a kind" presentation of a bands hard work.

We will also produce Flexi-Disc and Other recorded media editions that will cater to collectors and people that want the fun gift for the record collector they know.

Come On, who has not ever wanted to be a Record Producer, now is your chance!
