We are financing our album by selling shares of it to individual investors. In return, not only will an investor own a percentage of our album and reap the financial rewards of any success, but significantly too, they will be a part of a pioneering new spirit in a revitalised music industry.
How and why?
The music industry in 2008 finds itself at a turning point. The power of the major record labels has steadily diminished since the turn of the new millennium. Everything you’re likely to read in the press will describe flagging profit margins, labels going under and artists dropped etc. invariably attributed to internet.
Yet the music scene is in extremely good health, gigs are better attended now than ever, fresh fusions of sounds and cultures demonstrate that music still inspires globally and websites like myspace have made this accessible from virtually anywhere on Earth.
So why is it, on the one hand, we’re told that the industry is in decline? Yet on the other the music scene is so vibrant at the moment?
The answer is that there is a quiet revolution happening that makes the very loud punk revolution of the late 70’s look so last century.
As the sands shift, there is a changing of the guards and a new type of industry is emerging.
For the first time since the inception of recorded music the pendulum of power has swung away from faceless corporations and towards the people who matter the most in the industry, the fans and artists.
This is not only something we fully intend to celebrate, but something we also intend to fully exploit.
We are offering anyone who likes our music a chance to celebrate with us by giving you the opportunity of owning a percentage of our next album.
So far the project has been an incredible success with %'s selling like the proverbial hot cakes, so if you're interested you should grab one - or as many as you want for that matter - while stocks last.

Cult With No Name - cited by legendary UK journalist Mick Mercer as his discovery of the year - proudly present their brand new 14 track album, 'Careful What You Wish For'. Featuring Blaine Reininger from Tuxedomoon and a stunning piano version of The Stranglers' classic 'Golden Brown' the album can be previewed and ordered from the usual online sources (such as amazon. com), or directly from the label at...

and I still have not finished my damn work. I am SO in 'vacation' mode n' shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
Hello folks, we've got a fabulous gig on tonight at The Enterprise (opposite Chalk Farm tube) and hope that you can come along.
Headlining are the strange & beautiful MORTON VALENCE. Expect megaphones, lush harmonies, ironing boards and glittering pop gems from their soon to be released debut album financed by a £300 a pop share flotation!
Not to be outdone in the weirdness stakes psychedelicelecropop sensation BARTH has been described as ".. the French Syd Barrett" and has oodles of Parisian tunesmithery with which to delight your ears and mind. He's on middle slot.
Kicking off the evening and also on the number 3 bus to Oddsville is disturbing but excellent singer/songwriter/maniac ANDREW CLARKE. Expect songs about organ theft, oral sex, love, death and vengeful monkeys.
You can experience all of these aural delights, this very evening for the measly sum of £6. The music starts at 8pm, but why not pop along a bit earlier for a pint in the pleasant Camden twilight? Hope to see you there.
Tomorrow (Sat) we're returning to the scene of our stupendous evening crawl stage, THE MONARCH, chalk farm, for THE MORTON VALENCE FAYRE. MORTON VALENCE will be headlining. On stage at around 10pm. There's a big buzz about them at the moment. They're financing their first album by selling shares in it! They're already doing really well with that and are recording with legendary Brit-producer Brian O'Shaughnessy (who I hope will be attending). LOS CONIOS will be supporting. On stage at around 8.45pm. They are coming down from Bristol especially. They are cerifiably insane. One of them usually turns up disguised as a standard lamp and they distribute a hand printed newspaper detailing life in their dimension. At least, that's what happened last time, but this time.....who knows.The ever popular Truckin' Lauras and friends will be spinning discs throughout the night and in to the wee small hours if we're all up for it. As feaured on T.V. various webzines and the N.M.E. they are fabulous, glamorous and tend to make boys and girls amorous. We're planning to open doors at 8pm and charge £5 to get in. !
Last year I had a vision to type in 5am on Google after completing a track at that moment in time. I found a poem by Allen Ginsberg called 5am which described how I was feeling right then.
So my purpose over the past year has been to capture that 5am vibe in sound and visuals. My journey has been further inspired by the works of Rumi, Maya Deren and Stan Brakhage
Id like to thank everyone who shined their great yellow vibes across my path while making these sounds..... Keep walking that yellow brick road!!!
Thanks for having me on that CARGO night! It was such a great lineup and I enjoyed both you and The Truckin' Lauras very much. Let's do it again sometime very soon!
thanks for taking the time to listen to our band, we'll have new full band stuff up soon, also our single is available on 7" ....hope your having a good summer
