Pledge music. Simon Fowler's one is starting today.
- Involve Your Fans
- Keep Your Rights
- Fund Your Music
- Raise Money For Charity
PledgeMusic provides fans and artists the opportunity to work together to make new records and raise money for charity. By combining new social networking technology, old school music biz know how and an irresistible menu of exclusive incentives, fans can visit the site to hear great new music, enjoy and share unique experiences with the artists they love and actively participate in the release process.
Hey all…welcome to my PledgeMusic campaign.
This will launch toward the end of April 2011!! We are fine-tuning the campaign as we speak but it will look roughly like this….
OCS has been mad with shows lately but over the last couple years, I’ve penned some personal material of my own. This doesn’t mean the end of the band at all, in fact we’ll be back with a full Ocean Colour Scene album very soon, however I just fancied releasing some music of mine own for a change to see what you all thought.
Your pledges for the items and experiences listed here will go towards making the album bigger and better, so in way, we will be making this album together. For your faith in me, I will be posting private updates, that only pledgers will have access to…. videos, mp3’s, photos, blogs… a private diary of the entire album process all for FREE to those who get involved!
The culmination of this process is the fulfillment of all tour pledges, and the release of the album….which you will receive before anyone else!
I will also be donating a portion of the proceeds from the campaign to Strummerville, the Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music for the amazing work they do helping the next generation of aspiring young musicians.
I’ve been blessed by your support over the years and hope this unusual approach rewards you in a much more appropriate way with exciting ideas and unique extra content.
Till then, enjoy the album and hopefully see you at a show very soon.
Simon

Follow the sun and check the Moons.
The Moons
The Moons is the new project from Andy Crofts, better known as Paul Weller's keyboard player. Their album, a 14 tracker, was recorded over three weeks at Edwyn Collins’ West Heath Yard studio in London with Edwyn and Seb Lewsley producing and it is signature Moons, defined by strong songwriting, delicious harmonising and tight musicianship. Influences range from Joe Meek and Syd Barrett to The Zombies and the high points are many, including the startling Jennifer Sits Alone, the garage nugget Double Vision Love, a frenzied reworking of live favourite It's Taking Over and the duet Something Soon with Paul Weller. Their many fans include Rod Argent of the Zombies, Ian Brodie of the Lightning Seeds, Nick Power of The Coral, Dave Davies of the Kinks and of course the Modfather himself!
