Court of Appeals
Monday, March 24, 2008
“Maybe we should just sleep on it,” Tim McGraw once sang. Unfortunately for Curb Appeal Records, McGraw’s record label (Curb) didn’t take his advice to heart. One cease-and-desist letter later, the Kansas City-based label is changing its name to Appeal Records. What won’t change is its stacked roster of bands: local (The New Amsterdams, Blackpool Lights), national (Patrick Park, 8mm, Pablo, The Last Almanac) and international (Australian journeyman Paul Kelly). Those assets amount to an optimistic future for the label despite the omnipresent storm clouds of illegal downloading, market saturation and the fact that records just aren’t selling like they used to. But you won’t hear too much griping from label manager Enrique Chi, whose charisma is such that he could probably sell a Slayer CD to Mitt Romney. The native Panamanian barnstormed our state-of-the-art podcast shanty to share some Appealing tunes and a new single from his own band, Making Movies.
