In this Spazzcast listeners will discover a new approach to funding their next music project.

Indie rocker Andy Zipf, who “believes that music isn’t something that’s meant to be encapsulated, homogenized and programmed into a commercially viable product,” describes how his business model raised $45k to produce The Long Tail with industry veteran James Barber (Ryan Adams, Hole, Guns N Roses), through a series of fund raising concerts, house shows and investor parties.

“Music transcends commercialism and is meant to be experienced live.” -Andy Zipf
