The Magic Bag Ferndale
St. Louis-based indie rockers THE PERNIKOFF BROTHERS-whose debut album ON MY WAY married the inventiveness of the Dave Matthews with the brotherly magic and harmonies of the Avett Brothers--are about to set off on a summer tour which will be stopping in FERNDALE on WEDNESDAY, JULY 13 at THE MAGIC BAG with Toots and the Maytals.
THE PERNIKOFF BROTHERS-guitarist/singer Tom Pernikoff, bassist/singer Rick Pernikoff and drummer/singer Dan Germain--have announced an innovative way for their music to be heard and purchased with the introduction of TUNESPEAK, an online peer-to-peer music marketing/distribution service built on top of social media.
Users of TUNESPEAK are incentivized by the band with cash and rewards to tell friends about music they've discovered. The band are not only the creators of TUNESPEAK but also the first band on the service with the release of ON MY WAY-recorded and mixed by Ben Fowler (Eric
Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rascal Flatts) at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville.
TUNESPEAK works by allowing listeners to stream the full album for seven days for free, buy/download and share with friends on Facebook and Twitter. A fan is compensated by the band with 1/3 of the profits every time he/she helps sell three albums (digital downloads). Fans tell friends on Facebook and Twitter and then collect money owed from the band via PayPal or check
and also have the option to donate their earnings back to the band or the music industry health charity, MusicCares. Fans will soon have the option to collect non-monetary awards like merchandise, concert tickets, meet & greets, etc.
