Public Enemy generate $50,000 on SellaBand

Less than two weeks after announcing that their new album will be recorded using fan funding, Public Enemy has generated over $50,000 in funding from over 700 fans in a staggering 50 countries across the globe.

No other SellaBand artist has amassed that many "Believers" in such a short time nor received that amount of funding. At the current pace, Public Enemy is expected to head into the studio in the New Year having raised its target of $250,000 through its partnership with fan funding engine SellaBand.com.

The $250,000 will be used initially to fund the complete recording costs and expenses for the next album, but also to fund a strategic marketing plan for the worldwide release of the SellaBand album in 2010.

Artists who have joined SellaBand in the last two weeks include seminal rockers 24-7 Spyz, MySpace darlings Nylon Pink, UK singer Chris Jones and Canadian band The Last Supper, the latter will try to raise funds for a unique television concept, through SellaBand.
