Everyone knows music consumption has changed. Advances in technology and listening habits demand that artists approach how their music gets to their audiences differently. Amazon understands this. The Dandy Warhols understand this. Partnering together, the band is offering fans a new way to buy their new album, ...Earth To The Dandy Warhols..., out August 19, using a service through Amazon called TextBuyIt. As the name suggests, registered customers can receive release information and even have the ability to purchase specific albums through texting.
For the Dandys specifically, requests can be sent to 262966 (or AMAZON) with the message earth2dandys. More information can be found at: https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/productsServices?sn=mobileOverview/o
Amazon.com has already established itself as a new kind of digital record store, complete with similar artists and personalized and
user recommendations, and the week of August 19, the band will be offering an exclusive cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay," available for download on the site with a purchase of the album.
