KIDZ IN THE HALL MAKE A STOP AT DA’ HOUSE BEFORE THEY HIT THE STAGE WITH GYM CLASS HEREOS AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST.

Posted by Digital Freedom Band Kidz in the Hall:

We live a very free lifestyle making music and traveling the world but walking through the halls of the Rayburn building made us realize how important it is for bands like ours to speak out about our Digital Freedoms.

The same way we fight to get our messages out through words and beats of our music we will continue to fight this cause as well. Yesterday was an introductory chapter of a long book that hopefully has a great ending.

Dialogue is necessary and it is a good start for us to make a few visits to the Hill. But we didn’t even put a dent in this issue in order to make these congressmen become fully aware of this issue and the digital music revolution.

It is daunting when you run into walls when you speak with someone who doesn’t understand how much work you put into something and they have the power to take it all away.

Speaking with people who had adverse opinions to some of our ideas has made it even more worthwhile for us to get our message out, if everyone agreed with us and nothing happened then we would feel even worse.

We need to talk to more people who don’t hold the same ideas as we do about sharing music and reforming copyright on the internet

It’s a good thing for us that the days of naïveté are over (for artists). We understand the business, the issues and we are willing to fight for our rights. Major artists have lost connection with the fan and for us that connection is crucial for our success.

Most independent artists are more hands on and understand the importance of their digital rights. It is easy to care about Digital Freedom when these issues pay for your life.
