Tom's 40th - a Triptonites gig in Whangarei!
Posted by tomachi on January 4th, 2017 filed in GigsDouble booked my own exact birthday - my 40th in fact - for a darn Triptonites gig! Here is the info...
Triptonites @ Butter Factory Friday 13 January 2017.
First gig of the year! It is also the exact date of our drummer Tomachi aka Sir Funkalot's 40th birthday. Man he must be flying with aliens at light speed because he don't look 40.
- The Triptonites (4 piece psychedelic funk rock)
- Fabrizio Canale (solo singer songwriter harmonica ITALY)
- Tomachi Producer Set (solo electronic soul funk)
- Dixiedoll and Layla Snow (burlesque)
Only $10 on the door!
*The Triptonites*
...are a band that has fun with funk and ridiculousness. Kara Gordon (fly my pretties) fronts the group of genius musicians. King God (Kara James Gordon), Sir Funkalot (Tomachi Nosnikta), Ben11 (Ben Tapene) and Roscoe (Ross Larsen) are always into a good jam and are looking forward to this summer gig back in the Rei! Let's party.
*Fabrizio Canale*
Don't miss Fabrizio! Aside from the usual heavy load of blues renting a suite in our soul we got a new disease: the Country Fever! What can I say: come and see us, for great entertainment and great tunes, such as Fabrizio's Breakdown and Can Bong Rag.

*Tomachi Producer Set*
Tom is gonna attempt a live show of about 20 to 30 minutes of the fully solo Tomachi DJ set. This is a live drums and vocal performance over backing track / SPD-SX drum machine.

It's official: Bandcamp now reports sales to the official NZ Music Charts (RIANZ) and IMNZ!
Posted by tomachi on January 2nd, 2017 filed in Music BusinessIn case you didn't know, the musician focussed music store  Bandcamp.com broke the news on 21 December that they are now reported to The Official New Zealand Music Charts and Independent Music NZ. This means they send their (your musics) sales information on a daily basis; meaning sales on Bandcamp can contribute to your music chart rankings - which is super freaking awesome. Bandcamp are to be congratulated for this. I used Bandcamp to host the .tv Tomachi domain: tomachi.tv
The Bandcamp email I got gives more detail on how it's done:
To be chart eligible you must enter UPC (bar code) information for albums and ISRC information for tracks when you set up your release. Enter this info on the edit pages when you’re uploading artwork, adding lyrics, etc.
Official NZ Music Charts and IMNZ do not enforce any particular minimum price, but they do require the album or track be purchased in order to be counted.
You’ll find more info on chart eligibility here: https://bandcamp.com/help/charts
My regular release schedule current is as follows:
- Release via Distrokid to a gazillion stores (iTunes, Shazam, Youtube)
- Also upload to Bandcamp using the ISRC codes from the Distrokid release
- Also upload to using manual methods:
- Soundcloud
- Facebook (band page not personal!)
- ReverbNation (for what it's worth!)
- MySpace (OK I often forget I gotta admit)
- Ensure the tracks are loaded up on APRA for songwriting royalties
