The Disco Biscuits new album Planet Anthem comes out this Tuesday, 3/16. To celebrate the release, the DB's are partnering with Livestream to broadcast the entire Planet Anthem CD Release Party at the TLA in their home town of Philadelphia for FREE. The broadcast will air live March 16th starting at 8pm and will be available at www.livestream.com/discobiscuits. With Livestream as the exclusive streaming provider, the player widget for the webcast can be embedded anywhere. Integration with Facebook and Twitter allows viewers to engage in an online conversation with others fans and the band.
The Disco Biscuits took the pre-order game to a whole new level, offering fans the opportunity to bundle the record with an actual experience with the band. It worked, too, as The Disco Biscuits sold over 3,000 pre-order packages.
There were over 32 combinations available, including going to an Eagles game with the band, taking shots of Jameson with band, going to dinner, taking guitar/bass/keyboard/drum lessons and playing tennis against the band. Others included your standard CD/poster/ticket bundle, a chance to pick the bands playlist and even sing on the next record. Although the massive pre-order campaign is now over, fans can still grab an autographed copy of the album from Newbury Comics here
