getting an agent. whens the right time?

[crime]

Sorry but the people here saying dude don't get an agent you are not big enough?

That just sounds crass and jealous even, misery loves company.

If an agency approached rhythm and advised him they would be able to give him opportunities that were not present before then why not give it a shot, because he is not Preach?

Speaking from experience, I would echo what Ant said, basically, from what I've found over the past 5 years is, if you're not getting bookings every weekend off your own back, you won't get bookings every weekend just because you join an agency. I don't think it's jealousy that is making people here say what they say, just the pure reality of the situation.. And just because you do a release on a big label doesn't neccesarily mean it will be a big seller.. More important is very good music and consistancy, that is better promotion than either being on an agency or banging out 500 e-mails or mix cds..
