Public Enemy sign up for SellaBand.com

PUBLIC ENEMY – have signed up to fund their next album through the new flexible Fan Funding model launched by SellaBand.com
http://www.sellaband.com/projects/publicenemy

SellaBand have been pioneers Fan Funding since launching the first open Fan Funding platform in 2006…
Teaming up with such a well known artist should have been a very interesting project
However it appears it was totally mishandled and ended up exposing the incompetence at SellaBand HQ. The site went bust shortly afterwards only to re-emerge again bought by new owners. Public Enemy have remained with SellaBand but dropped their target and still have not reached it.=

It is a shame that SellaBand’s failure has cast doubt over the viability of Fan Funding – however it was SellaBand that failed not the model which they were unable to implement.
