658.0. "Riot Act/Mystery City" by COMET::FRISBYA (Love Bomb Baby) Thu Dec 19 1991 20:16

    MYSTERY CITY
    
     I think there should be a topic on these guys since Jim Whitman
    belongs to the conference. I heard their tape and I thought they
    were really cool!!! So c'mon Whitpose let's hear some stuff on the
    band.  
    
                 Even though their logo looks like Motley Crue's logo
     from a far distance! 8)

658.1That's a true story...that ain't no lieCAVLRY::BUCKRexx Rack Rock n Roll!Thu Dec 19 1991 21:359
    I remember when I saw JW and a fellow bandmate at Can-O-Pea...they
    had their Mystery City jackets on, and, well, maybe I was a little
    beside myself because I was *so* close to one of Herb Schmeck's 
    [yet another] amazing out-and-back style roller coasters, but I 
    swore from a distance that the script-style nuclear-green lettering 
    said 'POISON'!!

    	Yea, I had been thinking the same thing, about time there's a note.
    	
    	Gee  Jim, communication is really great, I just found out yesterday
    	that you moved on.  I'm not surpised they seldom don't introduce new 
    	people so why mention when they leave?

     	AHH! Geee, thanks Friz! ;') 
    
    	Well, Hey! the Logo sticks out!! at the moment we're just tryin
    to scrape some money together to get the tapes done, gets sorta ruff
    when everyone in the band doesn't have a job!! But once we do, I'll
    be sure to get them out to everyone.. But ya gotta watch it, it might
    be considered 'poser' music! ;')
    
    
    RE:Jim-
    
    Ya! I moved over to MRO4 back in September.. Great communication over
    there!! ;') I never even really met anyone when I worked over there!

    BAD NEWS!!!!!
    
        I just bought the MAR. METAL EDGE and in the little ads....
    
     There's a picture of some new HOLLYWOOD bands with the name:
    
           MYSTERY CITY!  ACK! 
    
           Jim....Have you had the name copyrighted?

    You can't copyright a name.  You can copyright a logo, however.
658.17VCSESU::MOSHER::COOKSlave to EcstasyMon Dec 23 1991 12:392
    
    You have to register it or trademark it, right?

658.19MR4DEC::JWHITMANNo more TearsMon Dec 23 1991 13:1715
    
    
    
    Yup, I've seen it before.. The have some chick singer... don't know
    how they sound, almost was gonna send for the CD, but don't wanna
    support their band!! ;') 
    
    We've put in for the name a long time ago, so we should be set... 
    I believe I singer has the paperwork for it along with the copywrite
    for all our songs...
    
    
    Still sucks though! I thought Mystery City was sorta original! 
    
    
658.20a thought...CAVLRY::BUCKRexx Rack Rock n Roll!Mon Dec 23 1991 13:239
    Hey JW...
    
    Here's a short cut that's legal.  Instead of paying the $15.00/song to
    copyright them with congress, send the whole tape (however many songs)
    and copyright the entire tape as "Mystery City Volume One", or "Mystery
    City 90-91 collection" or some umbrella-type of label. The songs are
    now legal under that title, and you only have to pay the $15.00 for the
    copyright of the lable, which includes all of the songs, as opposed to
    each and every song individually.
658.21copyright addendumCAVLRY::BUCKRexx Rack Rock n Roll!Mon Dec 23 1991 13:249
    More info...
    
    a (p) copyright copyrights the recording/mix of the songs, and protects
    unlawful duplication/distribution of said material.
    
    a (c) copyright lable copyrights the work itself.
    
    Make sure you get a (p) and a (c) copyright on your work!
    
658.22MR4DEC::JWHITMANNo more TearsMon Dec 23 1991 14:1010
    
    
    Thanks for the Info Buck! 
    
    My singer does the copyright paperwork. The way he's doing now, I know
    he gets like 3 songs for the price of 1.. I'm not sure how he does it
    though...

658.24yea, break up the songs, not all on 1 tape...BRAT::MATTHEWSDEAth StarTue Dec 24 1991 10:549
    
    
    re. jim. if he copyrights them, i would make sure each person has some
    songs in their names, otherwise if the band breaks up he has the rights
    to the song...
    p.s i thought you could copyrite a name..... as well as a logo??

    >re. jim. if he copyrights them, i would make sure each person has some
    >songs in their names, otherwise if the band breaks up he has the rights
    >to the song...
    
    The song authors would be included in the copyright form anyways.
    Rights do not go simply to the person apply for the copyright.
    
    >p.s i thought you could copyrite a name..... as well as a logo??
    
    Not.  Otherwise, everytime someone muttered or typed in the words
    'Mystery City', we'd have to pay JW royalties upon his request.
    Language is a free item in America (so far!)  8^)
658.26BRAT::MATTHEWSDEAth StarTue Dec 24 1991 12:1718
    
    Opps sorry....
    
    what generally happens (that i know of ) is the lyrics are copywritten
    and appropriate people are on the form,, (not always everyone)
    
    and music is done dufferently, well at least i think thats the way we
    did it... (this part i have to check on)

    Really?  I thought Iheard that drummer Jonny Dee split and joined some
    other band, and that Wig-touting, Mediocre guitarist extrodinaire
    Michael W. Smith, was booted for being as bad or worse than CC DeVille?

658.43MR4DEC::JWHITMANNo more TearsMon Jan 13 1992 17:4820
    
    
    We should just have it at the practice spaces.. but open up all the
    rooms.. ;') I'm sure Eric would love that.. (as long as he is
    invited..)
    
    
    How did we come up with the name? hehehe.. Weeeellll.. 
    
    We where sitting around one night, (the singer and I) trying to think
    of a name.. We had all recently had Girlfriend problems, so we decided
    to name ourselves 'Slut' Then after a few days, a realizing that the
    name probably would'nt go over well, we decided to look through all of
    Dave's tapes and get ideas from the song lists on them... 
    
    So, We came up with something with 'City Kids' in it, so we almost used
    that, But then we came across the Hanio Rocks album with 'Welcome to
    Mystery City'.. liked the sound of it.. and kept it... 
    
    That pretty much sums it up!
658.44seriouslyCAVLRY::BUCKREXX &amp; RollMon Jan 13 1992 17:521
    I like Slut better!

    Hey!  I figured someone would have put a "review" in here by now
    from the Battle of the Bands the other night..  :-)
    
    The only question I have is.. where did they get that sound man?
    Jim, your band sounded great, congratulations!  The sound was a
    little loud (painful) and muddy.  I'm sorry I had to bail early, 
    and couldn't congratulate you guys in person.
    
    Are you in the finals now?

    Thanks cj.. and thanks for coming down.. Was it really that loud?? ;') 
    
    
    We're in the semi-finals.. (big deal). I think we'll be going up
    against Little Sister, and Mystery Jones.. I just hope we go on
    before Mystery Jones.. I don't wanna even look at the stage after
    they go on!! :') one kickass band...

658.78IMTDEV::COOPIt's your DestinyTue Jun 01 1993 17:0714
    I saw Mystery Jones the week before, and I don't think that they are
    any better than you guys. IMHO  You'll give em a run for their money!
    
    I don't know where the sound guy came from, but all the bands sounded
    muddy to me, and really loud.  (am I getting old?)  The sound board
    looked like an antique.  He needed to work on getting your vocals alot
    clearer, if anything.  Again, IMHO.  Anyone else who was there have
    any opinions on the sound?
    
    Good Luck in the finals!

    The board was OOOLLLLDDDD. We brought in our own soundman, but after
    the 2nd band played, the cops showed up saying there was complaints
    from the house next door. So, they wouldn't let our soundman do what
    he wanted with the sound.....

    No, it was normal.  16x4x2 ... your a-typical mixing board.  Kind
    of neat, it had 2 fx buses and a 5 band eq/channel.  I forget the
