Target's Director of Marketing Bob Shilling last week told an englishman at Paddy's "I can't believe we haven't thought of it before, bands are cool and bands wear cool clothes, so&amp;nbsp;our label will sign any band with&amp;nbsp;the one caveat: Must pose&amp;nbsp;for &lt;a href="http://target.dynamiccatalogue.com.au/portal/dynamiccatalogue?CatalogueID=12640271374336&amp;amp;pageview=eight"&gt;Target Catalogue&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Target Records put out the call for bands some months ago with little to no response. "I guess we just aren't as cool as we thought" said Bob. Without extinguishing hope, Bob pressed on, until he was greeted by a&amp;nbsp;dweebie-pale-skinned-rocker, Johnnie Griever (aka Johnny "Bloody Un-Australian" Rockstar aka Johnny dweebie-pale-skinned-rocker..)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within minutes the boys from the band were rushed into the make-up room and chucked in front of the camera. "Yeah it was really cool, they dolled us up with all this emo make-up and really cool clothes and we got our pictures taken, made me feel like a real Rockstar." exclaimed Johnny. "The photographer was kinda cute too, big muscles and lots of tatt's, the way&amp;nbsp;I like it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Target's development team quickly grabbed the photo's and chucked togethor the site &lt;a href="http://www.pleasureoverload.com/"&gt;http://www.pleasureoverload.com/&lt;/a&gt;. "Now we just have to sit back and wait for them to come... what is it? build it and they will come.. that's it.. and that's what we've done" says Bob.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A local Studio is said to be quite irate at the concept..."and people wonder Why the Australian Music Industry Sucks!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1485740901799051574-552939124966589949?l=australianmusicindustrysucks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://australianmusicindustrysucks.blogspot.com/feeds/552939124966589949/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://australianmusicindustrysucks.blogspot.com/2010/01/target-records.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1485740901799051574/posts/default/552939124966589949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1485740901799051574/posts/default/552939124966589949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://australianmusicindustrysucks.blogspot.com/2010/01/target-records.html' title='Target Records'/><author><name>Major Tom</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18044833909035455098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
