Popular DIY music site, Bandcamp.com, has announced that it will soon begin charging a percentage of sales to artists who sell music through the service. They explained:
In the past six months, you guys have used Bandcamp to sell over $1 million USD in music and merch directly to your fans. The pace of those sales is increasing rapidly, and last week we even saw an artist make it to the Billboard charts on the strength of her Bandcamp sales alone. It’s been awesome to witness, and we’re amped to carry right on, full steam ahead, building out new features, honing existing ones, strengthening our infrastructure, and generally making things better and better. Perhaps most importantly though, we want to do so in a way that’s sustainable long-term, and ensures that we’re here supporting musicians far into the future. Bandcamp’s share will be 15% of each transaction, dropping to 10% as soon as your all-time sales exceed $5,000 USD.
By comparison, the popular iTunes service is said to charge 30%.

The Queers have debuted a new song from their upcoming Asian Man Records album. The record is titled Back to the Basement and is due out November 16, 2010. It follows Munki Brain which was released in 2007. In a bulletin, Joe Queer commented on the record:
We’re mixing the new album this weekend. We recorded it last week with help from Teenage Rehab. It’s mostly punk stuff-one pop tune that’s it. Dave and I are fucking psyched-best album we’ve done in a few years. We’re really excited to let people listen to it and we fully expect it to be an instant classic.
We’ll do the tour for the new album in November for a month and then do another month long tour up to Canada in January/February. The Apers are coming over for the January part and The Riptides are doing the November one. It’s gonna be a blast playing the new songs.
Check out the song on their MySpace page.
