The Ultimate "Pop Band" Creation...
The Gigland Plan goes something like this

The Purpose and Goal of the Gigland Plan is to Create a Modern Pop/Alternative Rock Band that is Built around Great Songs and a Deeper Musical Prowess than Normally found in Pop Bands.

The "Success Formula" we will follow is the same one created by the Monkees and all the 80's 90's Boy/Girl bands to follow.
Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Westlife, Spice Girls etc.. These "Created Acts" have Sold over 800 Million Albums and toured the Entire planet to Sold Out crowds for years. (Note: In fact, Most of thier Income was made through Touring, As ours will be.)

The CRUX of our Plan will be a Systematic Approach to Talent Formulation built around "Powerful SONGS and VIDEOS" Now that Video Distribution is FREE (No more TV Networks to PAY) and Song Distribution is FREE (No more Record Stores or Labels to PAY) We can get the Product IMMEDIATELY in front of a MASS Audience.

As part of the Gigland Plan, We will create TWO Bands. The First will consist of FIVE Guys. All Five will possess Lead Vocal ability as well a thorough knowledge on their respective Instrument. One Singer of the Group will be the strongest FRONT MAN but all five will be featured and have a turn. The option we are striving for is to have them Competent on a couple instruments for this purpose. Samples Acts are Duran Duran, INXS and U2. Top

The other "B" (Recording) Band examples we have in mind are "Mixed Gender" Acts such as Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, Talking Heads, X, Blondie, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Black Eyed Peas, The Weepies etc...) With the Main Focus on the Female Vocalist (Interchangable) with much vocal harmony from the B Band. This Supporting "B" Band will be more Faceless as thier main role is to play on the recordings and back the Featured Singer.

10 Formula Bands - (Most Followed The "Beatles" Template of Style and Personailty) See Boy Band Overview

  1. The Monkees (Created by Robert "Bob" Rafelson and Bert Schneider)
  2. Jackson 5 (Created and Managed by Father)
  3. The Osmonds (Created and Managed by Parents)
  4. New Edition (Created in Boston) Boyz II Men (Was inspierd By)
  5. New Kids on the Block (Created in Boston)
  6. Backstreet Boys (Created in New York)
  7. N'Sync (Created in Orlando)
  8. Westlife (Created in Ireland)
  9. Spice Girls (Created in UK) | Girls Aloud (Created for UK Realty Show) Top
  10. Five (Created in UK)

All of the above Acts have succeded on A Colossal Scale. Compared to the nearly 100,000 plus Albums released every year just in the USA, these Formula Acts have an Amazing track record of Huge Payback for the Investment. (NOTE: In 2008 - More than 115,000 albums were released, but only 110 sold more than 250,000 copies, a mere 1,500 topped 10,000 sales, and fewer than 6,000 cracked the 1,000 barrier.)

The Fact is - Three of the Modern "Pop" Phenomenons - "Hannah Montana", "Jonas Brothers" and the "High School Musical" Series are Disney Properties.

The Two Most Popular American Shows are "American Idol" and "Dancin with the Stars" - The Most Popular Movies are "Twilight and New Moon" (Broke all Records for Recent Movie Sales)

The Music Industry as a Whole as has very few successes to show in the last few years - "Artist Developement" has given way to simple Distribution Deals made only after the Artist/Band has spent years in the trenches. Songwritng Skills have for a long time taken a back seat to a Band Sound or Look and Touring is now so Expensive few Labels support it and even most Arena Acts have given up even trying. (eg Guns-n-Roses, David Lee Roth) Top

Guidelines and Techniques To Be Followed -

Superior Songwriting (500 Gigland Original Songs = 100 Hits) See Top 100 Classic Songs
Cutting Edge Production (Loops, V-Drums, Vocal Layers, Synth Guitars, Hear Samples )
Performance Strength (Musicianship, Youth, Energy, Group Choreography, Background Screens, Retro Guitars, Retro Clothes)
Music Videos Popularity thru Originality, Visual Power & Style. (Millions of Viewings can be achieved at almost NO COST!)
Publicity -Music Industry (Many Angles), General Media Coverage, Viral Videos, Soundtrack and Commercial placement. (The Fact that this will be a "Secret Project" until it is Ready for a Prime-Time Presentation is already a Publicity Move.)

The Idea for the Gigland Plan is based on a meeting with George Martin in which he stated "For great records to be made, there must be a creative atmosphere established in which the artist can work. "We plan to record 100 Singles in a one year span making US the First and possibly the Only Act in Music History to do this… Top

THE SONGS...(Where they came from)
Several years ago, Daniel Sage studied great songwriters and poets hoping to discover their Secrets...From Bob Dylan to Paul Simon From Springsteen and John Lennon he pulled apart the components of Classic Song structure and peered deep into the Pieces...

From Poets such as Emily Dickinson and T. S. Eliot he learned beauty in simple condensed lines - and in all of this searching he found one common thread...the Power of a Theme.

After Analyzing thousands of songs and phrases writing down and verbally transcribing to listen to during sleep, this was the in-gestation period, if you will for Sub-conscience Feeding....

What Daniel Sage has learned is now contained in This HUGE body of work…
