Description
"The world's weirdest musical tribute to Shakespeare? This is London band 'The Pocket Gods' new album of one hundred thirty second songs - and all about the great Bard himself! It is being released on Thoroughbredmusic/Proper Distribution to mark the 400th anniversary of his death.
Following their previous ground-breaking album '100x30' - cult indie band The Pocket Gods are continuing the campaign for fairer royalties from streaming services such as Spotify with this, another album of 100 songs all 30 seconds long!
Spotify, and other similar global streaming set ups pay out a paltry royalty once a song hits thirty seconds and then no more - so why write longer songs? Why not adapt your song writing craft to the YouTube channel / media switching generation?
The previous ""100x30"" album gained huge media attention, featuring in the Wall St Journal, The Independent, Forbes Magazine, The Evening Standard, ITV and even Billboard the US music magazine who heralded it to be "Hauling digital music and the modern world over the coals."
