Support your "Local" Artist on Sellaband

A new site, called Sellaband, allows users to support their favorite musical artist (from all over the world) by buying monetary "parts"($10/part) and sharing in ad revenue from the music produced.

What an innovative way to allow new artists to showcase their talents, reach audiences all around the world, and develop a fan base that participates in the artists' success. It's going to be critical for the founders' to get the word out for this thing to scale. The artists need to get on board and the audiences will follow.

As for me, I found this Evanescence-like band from the Netherlands, whose lead singer has great vocals. Check them out on Sellaband: Nemesea.
