Public Enemy Falls Almost $200,000 Short Of Fundraising Goal For New Record


On the last line of defense for Sellaband.com, nearly going bankrupt, they were purchased by a German music business entrepreneur. Unfortunately that does not ensure the successful completion of the Sellaband.com's pet music project, an all new album from iconic rap group Public Enemy.

The site, which is designed to help musicians and artists collect fundraising from their music fans to create the next album, was apparently the only option for Public Enemy, who have failed to reach the target of $250,000 to produce, manufacture and distribute their no-long-upcoming album.

Public Enemy raised approximately 1/5th of their goal, but with all respect the goal may be a little unrealistic. Especially for a group who started in the rap music business the better part of 25 years ago. Why are you asking your fans for a quarter of a milli, when you should have at least that, easy?

Looks like the veterans Chuck D and Flav are going to have to come up with a better strategy to get this album produced and released. Do you think this project will finally come out some day?

Public Enemy Announces New Album Release, Joint Fundraiser With SellABand.com


Ground breaking hip hop group Public Enemy is planning to release a new album. This is amazing news, considering the group's first release 'Yo ! Bum rush the show' was released the same year I was born, in 1987. More intriguing though is the fact that Chuck D and Flava Flav are inviting fans to support the creation process by becoming financial investors.

In an interesting joint venture with SellaBand.com, Public Enemy will be accepting donations from fans. The group's goal is to raise approximately $250,000 to fund the making and distribution of their next album release.

For the dedicated fans who invest their money, they will receive limited edition copies. These copies should include a package of features, which still need to be determined. Amazingly, in only two short weeks the site has raised over $55,000 in funds for Public Enemy's new record.

All in all SellABand has raised a staggering 2.5 million dollars for bands and recording artists around the world. Seems that people are open to the idea of investing in the future success of new artists. Would you use this model as a method to generate funding for your album ?
