Public Enemy fans will foot the bill for the next album.
Less than two weeks after announcing that their new album will be recorded using fan funding, Public Enemy has generated over $50,000 in funding from over 700 fans in a staggering 50 countries across the globe.No other SellaBand artist has amassed that many 'Believers' in such a short time nor received that amount of funding. At the current pace, Public Enemy is expected to head into the studio in the New Year having raised its target of $250,000 through its partnership with fan funding engine SellaBand.com.
The $250,000 will be used initially to fund the complete recording costs and expenses for the next album, but also to fund a strategic marketing plan for the worldwide release of the SellaBand album in 2010.
Artists who have joined SellaBand in the last two weeks include seminal rockers 24-7 Spyz, MySpace darlings Nylon Pink, UK singer Chris Jones and Canadian band The Last Supper, the latter will try to raise funds for a unique television concept, through SellaBand.
