Ex Norwegian "sells out" on SellaBand
Ex Norwegian have created a profile to raise funds for their next album on SellaBand.
SellaBand is the fan funding platform for music artists. Established acts like Public Enemy and well-known musicians like Chris Difford of Squeeze are using this site challenging the traditional way music business works, starting with the fans first, then artists create from there.
With SellaBand, Ex Norwegian’s Roger Houdaille says “We want to raise money for the next album and have our fans help us out in the process, even though its financial, by doing that they are also inspiring us.” It also serves as a giant pre-order, as everyone who invests is guaranteed a copy of the album. The more you invest, the more perks you receive, including autographed CD’s, merch and the ultimate custom set list…either video-taped or played live in your city. Further incentive includes getting a piece of the pie.
“This is the exciting part,” Houdaille goes on, “Having the fans help promote the record, and have them recoup their investment (and possibly more) if we are successful together.”
The new album, which is stated to be different than the forthcoming ‘Sketch One’ mini-album, is slated for February release.
