Like Lazenby (Solo Demo) - Sondre Lerche

Tuesday night Nardo and I went to The World Cafe Live to see Sondre Lerche perform at the last stop on his most recent North American tour.

This song is from an EP he was selling called Polaroid Pumpkin Party. It cost $15 and all of the copies are personally burnt and signed by him, and include a unique Polaroid photograph. More artists should do this because I doubt they get much of a cut from the commercial albums they sell at shows anyways. Sondre makes himself immune to falling victim to the changing economics of the music business by knowing how to put on an amazing live show, and by not being afraid to put his heart into little independent limited releases. That’s not to say he doesn’t make a good amount of his living from things like Dan in Real Life, I’m just making a point that he’s smart and genuine enough to be able to set himself up for a long and intimate relationship with his core fan base. Love your fans and they’ll love you back.

I’ll post a scan of the photo I got once I get it back from Ryan (who I lent my album to so that he could rip it and keep his copy unopened).
