DALLAS, TX. (Endicott Public Relations and Consulting) - In addition to 50+ shows on their fall tour, DiscLive will sell limited edition recordings of
Pixies concert in Japan and make concerts available via NetBurn.
As has been expected, DiscLive, Inc., the live recording unit of Immediatek, Inc, announced today that it will follow the Pixies on their fall tour and provide coveted, limited edition, live discs from most shows starting with the September 18 performance at the Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, Texas, and ending on the east coast in December. In addition to the limited edition physical collectibles, DiscLive will implement a NetBurn Pass program allowing fans to make CDs at home from any Pixies concerts on this tour or from any Pixies concert DiscLive has previously recorded.
NetBurn is a technology developed by DiscLive's parent company Immediatek that allows consumers to download and burn CDs from a concert usually within a few hours after the performance has ended.
According to Zach Bair, CEO and Founder of Immediatek, DiscLive is expected to release live discs from 50+ shows on the Pixies fall tour, with edition sizes ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 depending on the show. The consumer price of the collectible discs will be $25. The NetBurn Pass will be offered to consumers at $18 for a single concert, $59 for five concerts, and $99 for ten concerts of the fan's choosing.
This past spring, DiscLive sold out all 16,000 units produced on the Pixies warm-up tour as well as a limited edition of 6,000 CDs from four shows at the Brixton Academy in London, England, in June.
In addition to the fall tour, DiscLive will make available 1,000 units of the Pixies July 31 performance at the Fuji Rock Festival in Naeba, Japan. Preorders for this special collectible disc are available now at www.disclive.com, and the products will be shipped to consumers in late August.
Sami Valkonen, President of DiscLive said: "The Pixies will always remain the band that broke live discs as a mainstream proposition. Nothing could be more thrilling to us than to continue our collaboration with this great band by covering their fall tour. With the Pixies every show is a surprise, and I am sure there will be a lot of great surprises for the fans during this three month tour across the continent."
