Indie Band Lands Global Investment Capital
       

 

Troy, NY - Dec 12, 2007 - Who can underestimate the power of the Internet these days? With killer apps being rolled out by heavyweights such as Google and countless companies trying to follow in their wake, it's anyone's guess where the next dot-com phenomenon could come from. However, you might want to take note of the music business revolution quietly happening over at Sellaband.

 

 

Highlight:
In 2006 after passing selection by XM Satellite Radio, we had the pleasure of opening for Bon Jovi at Pepsi Arena. Here's a promo clip:

 

 

 









B Invest in Music – SellABand.com is Democratizing the Recording Industry. The recording industry has long been a corrupt, artist unfriendly business model. Tantalizing recording contracts are given to only a chosen few at incredible cost to themselves. Horror stories are told of familiar recording artists actually coming away from a career in debt. You can help by investing in not only a new Indie band but in one of the most innovative music websites we’ve seen. www.SellAband.com is an alternative to the conventional ways groups get signed to record contracts. Using SellAband you can invest as little as ten dollars for a single share in a group. You choose which group by listening to the music from a participating band that has uploaded their demo. If that group gets enough votes (shares) they get signed to a record thanks to SellABand.com. The process at once simple and clever it makes you wonder nobody has thought of something like this before. - Sellaband provides bands and artists that reach this level with a professional studio, an experienced A+R(artist/repertoire) manager and a top producer. The resulting recording is then sent in the form of exclusive digipack CDs to the believers; at this point, both believers and musicians are in business together. Sellaband then gives the recorded music away for free through the company's Web site. Revenue generated through online advertisements is split evenly between the artists, believers and Sellaband. In addition, Sellaband currently has partnerships with Heineken (HINKY - commentary - Cramer's Take) and Sony Music Studios, a huge benefit to artists; other strategic alliances are expected to be announced in 2007. music promotion, unsigned, music store, music instrument, rock band, do it yourself, indie, DIY wetwerks, promote music, sell music,MP3 download, record yourself, WETWERKS, wetworks, independent music, music, rock, hard rock, MP3 download, unsigned, melodic rock, FOH engineer, electronic music, alternative music, metal, heavy metal, music, roland, Bon Jovi, filter, sevendust, fuel, krock, indie, krockathon, beats, beatz, record yourself, sellaband, independent music,MP3 download, unsigned, parzek, sell music,warden, , promote music, sell music, record yourself, castle, rob parzek, seth warden, dan castle, akai, music, clay people, jason keller, tim noble, Filter, dileo, rae dileo,MP3 download, promote music, sell music, unsigned, record yourself, rae, MP3 download, richard patrick, sell music, independent music, geno lenardo, frank cavanaugh, rock, fresh, unsigned, new, new music, groove, creative, wetwerks, wetworks, guitar, music store, rock band, do it yourself, indie, DIY electric guitar,promote music, sell music, record yourself, keyboard, bass, live, live music, DJ, D.J., turntable, dance, party, live dance music You may know that we recently had the unforgettable opportunity to open for none other than the world renowned Bon Jovi at our hometown's very own Pepsi Arena!
