We Were Promised JammyPacks
So you’re cruising the town on foot, headphones in ears, listening to the raddest album you’ve ever heard. You can’t HELP but want to blare this greatness to the world, but long gone are the days when it was totally acceptable (and soooo fashionable) to tote along a boombox on top of your shoulder.
Enter the JammyPack. JammyPacks are mobile boomboxs positioned inside a fanny pack that you can sport ’round the waist. Yeah, I know.. I want one too!
You can educate the general public on your musical musings, engage strangers in mind-blowing conversation and look REAL cool doing it.
Where would you sport your JammyPack? Yes, you’re going to buy one. And don’t worry, you’re not going to be exiled underground like those ‘I WEAR MY SUNGLASSSES AT NIGHT’ jerks. Here a list of spots where you could sport this rad little bumpin’ pack:
• at Lollapolooza blaring Bob Marley as you’re walking across beautiful Grant Park on your way to see your favorite band play…
• at Occupy Wall Street amplifying corporate jingles because no ‘entity’ could’ve have produced something so awesome…
• at Muscle Beach humming to the tunes of Right Said Fred (truthfully, we can’t think of anything that gets us more amped)…
• at EVO establishing dominance with haudokens and anticipating the next DROP during the Flux Pavilion playlist…
Do YOU want to win a JammyPack AND a pair of tix to SnowGlobe Music Fest? We thought so! Like our Facebook page here to enter!
Record label + Kickstarter = SonicAngel?
SonicAngel is a new company that is meshing two unlikely parts of the music industry machine into one very cool idea. They’re a record label, but they’re also a crowdfunding platform. Think Kickstarter + burgeoning record label.
SonicAngel works a little bit differently than your standard record label, or even friend-funding site. Artists sign up and levy support from fans and friends who also join up. Outstanding artists, as determined by fan support AND SonicAngel big wigs, are then signed up to a one release deal.
Then, SonicAngel provides the platform in which the fans can then invest (corporate or individually) in the artists that they believe in. Once an artists gets appropriate funding, their album is released digitally and in hard copy form with SonicAngel providing marketing, sales and touring support.
Sounds like a cool deal, and a way for the emphasis to be on bands creating their OWN extended fanbase. Hard work? Sure. Totally rewarding? You can bet your bottom dollar.
