With the release of their first studio album in seven years, “Warpaint,” The Black Crowes announce there will be more music to come.

 

The Black Crowes are one of the few bands that have allowed their fans to tape record their live concerts and have encouraged taping and trading since their 1990 multi-platinum release, “Shake Your Moneymaker.”

 

Now, the band will lend a helping hand by making their own live recordings available of shows performed in 2008 as well as other previously unreleased live and archived material from their past.  The Black Crowes continue to welcome fan taping.

 

The Black Crowes have partnered with nugs.net, the leader in band-to-fan distribution, to release live recordings of their upcoming tour 2008 on LiveBlackCrowes.com. 

 

*** Starting March 31, the first 10,000 fans to register at LiveBlackCrowes.com will receive free MP3 downloads culled from the band’s intimate

“One Night Only” shows this month. ***

 

* Every concert will be available within 96 hours of the performance

(International shows may take up to one week before being made available)

 

* Full concert downloads in MP3 and true CD quality FLAC formats

 

* Each show also available on CD with custom artwork for each show

 

* CD+MP3 bundles of each show where fans can download the MP3 right away and get the CDs in the mail

 

* Nugs.net powers the band-to-fan services for hundreds of artists, including Metallica, Phish, Dave Matthews, the Grateful Dead, and festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits Music Festival.  Nugs.net has served over 50 million paid downloads in DRM-free fan-friendly MP3 and FLAC formats.
