Pomplamoose Stays Independent
In 2008, Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte formed a band specialized in "Videosong": Pomplamoose. They make their videos and songs simply by filming and editing their performances. She sings all the parts, and he plays all the instruments.
Aside from being specialized in a new musical trend made possible by the Internet, something else about Pomplamoose is remarkable: they refuse to be distributed in the traditional way, through a label.
The two musicians make a living off the sales of their albums (in September 2009 they sold 20,000 songs online) without even having created a physical copy of their album. Pomplamoose has refused offers from Warner, Sony and Universal.
More info on the group and their videos is available on youtube.com/user/PomplamooseMusic.
