Clara EngelCrowdfunding is a cool new way to help musicians make their albums ahead of time, get some special releases in return and maybe even influence the content in some ways. I mean, without your help, the stuff wouldn’t even be out. Today we introduce two artist that took the road of crowdfunding. Clara Engel is from Toronto and she’s a singer songwriter. She previously published in UK and Italy, but not in North America. She started a website on kapipal where you can help her put together her record. Our old friend from The Windbreakers and Gone Fishin’, Tim Lee with his new band Tim Lee 3 is also crowfunding the upcoming album Devil’s Rope. He has an account on indiegogo. Also, he organized a tribute album to his old pal from the Windbreakers Bobby Sutliff and called it Skrang!. We check out one song that he prepared for this occasion today. Sutliff had a bad car accident and needs help to cover the health care costs. We also introduce two new bands, Velociraptor from Australia and The Strypes from Ireland. Strypes are very young and people talked a lot about them last year. Cleveland bands Pere Ubu and Scarcity of Tanks have new albums and Cobra Verde is in our segment live from CLE. Also, we pay a small tribute to Wilko Johnson from Dr. Feelgood who has been diagnosed with the terminal pancreatic cancer.
