I guess I have heard the "band does it themselves" story too often to get overly enthusiastic - but yes there are now some good examples, Simply Red, Katie Melua to name 2 that have managed to capture audience directly or via their management companies. It still costs serious money though to get anywhere, whoever pays for it. The difference when going ex-label is really in control over the fanbase and longterm career management. Agree that concerts etc are the revenue drivers. Not sure about everything just on an Ipod, isn't Vinyl making a comeback currently?
