Important to realise in the game of time and chance, Makmende was more good fortune than expected reality - hence the unpreparedness of Just a Band to capitalise.

Nevertheless:
-I've confirmed Silverbird rank it best/2nd best selling CD of recent past
-I've seen the guys on talk shows including Patricia show
-I've seen the guys invited curtain raisers next to big names like Nameless

So I guess they are better off. Perhaps a second turn of magic, when they are better prepared, and they can touch the clouds.

that makmende craze was the worst week i ever had...why did u hav to re-ignite it in whatever form?

For me, I think that this shows how it is key to be prepared for your big break. Many people talk of how they want that break, kumbe when it comes they are overwhelmed! http://bit.ly/cMxumK

To capitalize on that Idea would have required a considerable amount of cash as capital,they were 'just a band' for crying out loud,starting capital could have been the reason why they failed to grab the opportunity.

If they had a good manager/entrepreneur they could have made money from the MAKMENDE craze.

@webish and @selah, poor call by you guys. Capital wasn't a factor in this case. They had assured market. Once the market is there, any entrepreneur worth his salt should capitalise.
