Idea Submission
Baptists and Bootleggers
Baptists and Bootleggers is a new label that will be releasing/publishing music, art and literature with two main aims behind it...
Submitted by Baptists_and_Bootleggers.
The first is that everything released will be completely free. We are strong believers in the idea of free music and free art and feel its a fair way to give back to the people who support your work. We also believe in producing products of quality. Inspired by the DIY aesthetic of labels like Constellation and Young God, everything released on Baptists and Bootleggers will be packaged in exciting and interesting ways and will be made by hand.
The second main idea behind the label is the way in which each release will be distributed. A number of copies of each release will be given to each person involved in the work for them to hand out, any way they see fit, be it at record shops, galleries, gigs, the rest will be given to other artists on the label, situated in different cities around the country and abroad, to do the same. This way every release is distributed throughout the UK and other countries, giving all the artists a greater opportunity to have their work seen/read/heard. This also means that as more people join the label a community of artists is built in which new works and collaborations will form. As the label grows so will the opportunities for those involved.
We are currently working towards our first release which will include aspects of art, music and literature. We have a wide range of artists already involved including Manchester based bands and musicians as well as people from further afield. We want the first release to be a strong start to the label and are hoping to have this released on vinyl. We are looking for funding for the pressing and packaging of the records as well for promotion of the release and label itself.

This is a fantastic idea. Nothing is more worthy of funding. These guys will spread their idea with passion and music, literature and art should be spread. The concept for organic growth is amazing. Please help them to power this project.

Great idea will this label also provide opportunities for people with a desire to go into management or production as well, or does focus more on the artists themselves

I was impressed by the show & peformance at Islington Mill last month. Going on that I think you will be able to make very effective use of any funding you receive.
