Billy the Kid - Fan Funded
Mar2003:41 PM
Filed in: Music News
Following the breakout success of the Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace) produced EP, The Lost Cause, Vancouver singer/songwriter Billy the Kid (Billy Pettinger) decided to give back to her fans by recording a new album which will be given away for free on the internet.
In order to pull this off, Billy launched a fan funding campaign on her website http://www.billythekidonline.com to raise the money necessary to record her new album. Her fans pulled through in droves, pre-ordering a variety of different album bundles, and the album was recorded over the course of two months, in three different cities in early 2011.
Now that recording is complete, the album needs to be mixed and mastered, which is another considerable expense. So Billy decided to launch phase two of her fan funding campaign. However this time around, she has one-upped herself and has created some incredibly creative new fundraising options.
New fund raising options include a hand drawn cartoon of you for $50, a night on the town with Billy for $200, a weekend with her for $500, co-writing a song with her for $1000, an original song written for you or a loved one for $1000, have Billy mailed to your house for $2000 and hang out with her for a week while she films a documentary of your time together, buy publishing rights to half of one of her new songs for $5000, and finally for $10,000 you can own the publishing rights to any song of your choice.
Once the funds are raised the album will be finished and released immediately on the internet for free.
There’s a reason people refer to Billy the Kid as the DIY Poster Girl.

Billy the Kid Records New Fan-Funded Album
Jan2502:34 PM
Filed in: Music News
Billy the Kid is busier than ever after an incredible year of non-stop touring in 2010 in support of her Raine Maida produced EP, The Lost Cause (available for free download here).
Billy is currently in a studio in Richmond, Virginia (Sound Of Music) recording her next batch of songs, along with the brilliant Long Arms as her backing band. And just two weeks ago she was in The Hive in Vancouver, BC working on even more songs. But that's not it. She'll be finishing up a final batch of new recordings in Toronto this March.
Three sessions, in three different studios, in three different cities, with three different vibes.
Nice.
Billy has committed herself to Give Back to her fans this year. Every song that's being recorded will be released as a free download! We'll be giving away new free music from Billy every couple of weeks, and once all of the tracks have been handed out... the final physical package will be released this coming Fall.
Hint hint: I hope you like vinyl. There's going to be an incredible double-vinyl version coming out, bundling all of her new 2011 recordings, in addition to The Lost Cause EP being one of the sides.
The recordings are far from being done yet. There's still more recording to be done, mixing, mastering, artwork, etc. And all of this means more money is needed to finish everything. This is a 100% DIY fan-funded album, any and all album pre-orders go directly towards the cost of producing the new music.
So if you're a fan and enjoy Billy's music, please take a quick moment and send her some love with an album pre-order. Your support means the world to Billy and us, and it keeps the music coming!
Check out the video below. Billy took a few moments out of her busy recording schedule to send everyone who's pre-ordered her upcoming new album a heartfelt thank-you.
