Public Enemy have already raised over $50.000 from fan donations for their new album. The band intends to get $250,000 in donations from fans to record and release the new LP. For a $25 donation fans get a share of the record’s revenues and a numbered copy. Over 700 people donated so far. The whole is powered by Sellaband and Public Enemy hope to have the fan-funded album out somewhere in 2010. Many people wondered what the $250,000 would be used for in times like this where lots of bands record albums for far less money. It seems that besides recording costs and related they also want to use it for a marketing plan. Expensive marketing plan that is.
