This post from October

“So some fucker has released the album on the internet already…. thanks a lot, whoever it was… Maybe twisted will still recoup, maybe not… all i know is that we are teetering on bankruptcy, and are seeking deals elsewhere…. the 12 loyal fans on this forum are not enough to sustain a record label…. How much do you think Twisted has in the bank account? Have a guess? More than $10,000 ? More than $20,000 ?  Well it is actually less than $1,000….. Raj and i haven’t even been paid our advance for this album…. All the artists on twisted are seeking deals with other labels now… We can’t pay a label manager, and we can’t pay the artists…. always putting our hope in ‘just ONE more release’.... “We’ll be ok if the DVD sells”....“Surely the Shpongle CD will sell, right?”

made me ask:
probably it is time to help?

Twisted is well-known all around the globe, and could use that Wikipedia method of getting necessary financial means of existence.

Just make an account which could easily receive payments from all countries and let people send some minor $$$ to make things just a little bit easier? 10 bucks here, 10 there and it’s not 1000 but 10 000 already and so on.

That may sound a bit naive, but it does worth a try, doesnt it?

After all, art and business rarely cooperate normally.

Cheers.

I was under the impression that albums don’t really make a lot of money, since most people pirate these days. If they got their names out there more and played more live concerts, they could make it. Can’t pirate the experience of seeing a live set.

And, to be honest, the tourdates are pretty fucking pathetic. I love the guys at Twisted Rec as much as the next guy, but they really need to do some PR. Give some interviews, get on late night TV shows, start a podcast, do something. Live sets are where the money’s at.
