It's on Ebay.

Yet another interesting marketing vehicle. I hope it isn't bought and used to convey some political message.

[stewblack]

It  won't be. They reserve the right to not use anything they don't like the look of.

Now I want to submit a track called Songy-mick-song-face. 😉

Yes! I'm frightened to bid in case I win.

I don't understand.

Other bands can buy a slot on the album.

OK, thanks. Now, I understand what is going on, not sure about why.

Nothing new there really.

I saw this and it’s quite tempting, do you think you would get your money back in sales, it’s up to 38k at the moment

You might recoup some of it for sure but the exposure would be worth it. Vulfpeck haven't yet peaked commercially - this next album could be the one with a hit single.

Emperors new clothes time? A lot of money to buy trackspace on an album

that may or may not sell/produce any return.........

I'll stick to premium bonds.

There’s a video.

Jack Stratton invested in something that failed. It’s a money raise to try to offset his loss.

Yeah that’s true, the exposure could be great if you was an up and coming band , have other bands done this 🙂

[stewblack]

Nope. You make nothing off the album sales.

Ah, if the video's in the advert I can't see it, prolly explain a lot !

Nothing new. Back in the 80's Sigue Sigue Sputnik sold the space between the songs on their album.

It's just a different way to raise money. Quite inventive. I like the idea, but of course the only people with a realistic chance of winning have to have more than 50 thousand dollars spare, good for the band, not great for aspiring music students etc. But however it is done I can't see it being fair in that sense.

Album sales? Not sure they exist any more.  

[miles'tone]

I'm not sure he was being entirely truthful

Where's the video ? I'd be grateful if someone would post a link.

Not sure why, but I'm oddly curious as to how this turns out.

Yes, he still speaks quite clearly with his toungue so deep in his cheek

OK.

I'm still not sure I understand, but I suspect I'm not supposed to.

Thanks for posting the video though 👍
