Crowdbands
Crowdbands is a record label and online community that allows members to run the company through a democratic voting process regarding corporate and band presentation and marketing decisions. To begin with, featured bands will be established "internet savvy alternative" bands that are not signed to a label.[1][2]
Members of the site receive and become eligible to make decisions along with other members of the community regarding all aspects of the company and running the business.[3] Members pay twenty-five dollars per year as a membership fee and will help make creative decisions with the bands and will receive free artist albums and access to members-only events.[4] Crowdbands has a goal of featuring eight to ten artists per year with a projected membership of 20,000 to 30,000 members.[2][5]
Crowdbands was co-founded by Peter Sorgenfrei and Tom Sarig, who is the current president of Esther Creative Group and a former senior A&R Executive at MCA Records, TVT Records, Arista, and A&M.[6]
The first band signed to Crowdbands is The Donnas.[7] The Donnas are now in the demoing process for their ninth album, which will be released through Crowdbands before the end of 2011.[8]
