It’s important to remember – while bands like Radiohead and NIN are meaking international headlines by giving their music away – that bands have been doing this for quite a while, and continue to do so, obviously realizing that the business models for music distribution are rapidly changing.
One group of guys that deserve attention for both making beautiful music and for giving it away are Danish DJ collective Den Sorte Skole. They also deserve props for recognising the importance of online presence. Besides their official site, the share pictures, videos and music on the MySpace page (I’ve been writing off MySpace for a while now. I need to reconsider that. It is obviously very much alive and kicking when it comes to music), and on Facebook. Give them a look and a listen. They kick ass.
