Standing On The Corner Releases CD-Only Single "Gimme My Gun"
By
Tom Breihan
Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
Standing On The Corner, an unconventional Brooklyn band and art collective, operates outside normal music industry norms. They self-release records, produce for artists like Earl Sweatshirt, and distribute physical media in unusual ways (e.g., selling DVDs for cash in Times Square on 9/11). In December, they released a CD-only single with three versions of a song called "Gimme My Gun."
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe amorphous Brooklyn band and art collective Standing On The Corner don't fit into any normal categories, and they don't do things that other bands do.
Sometimes, they put out their own records. Sometimes, they do production for rappers like Earl Sweatshirt.
Sometimes, they put out DVDs that you can only get by paying cash to a guy who's wandering around with a bag full of them in Times Square on 9/11
