The Heart Of Indiedrive, Inc.
Indiedrive is a different type of company... created by musicians to
help other musicians get their music "out there" in a new and exciting
way. Everything about Indiedrive is a little unorthodox, from the
blue-collar business approach to the crazy guerrilla marketing tactics
that have set Indiedrive apart from the ever-growing crowd of corporate
vultures. Indiedrive is a voice for the little guy, a company that
fights for the hard-working independent musician with innovation and
creative thinking. The product is simple; USB flash-drives have quickly
become an important vessel in audio/video delivery... Indiedrives just
happen to be the BEST flash-drives on the planet. It has always been the
goal of Indiedrive to work with the highest quality drives, not the
cheapest - to use dependable American made units that blow the
competition away.
The other goal of Indiedrive is to work WITH indies,
not take their money. Indiedrive.com is not only the first dedicated
flash-drive album marketplace, but it is also absolutely free for
artists and bands. Indiedrive is a young company backed by the most
powerful people in the music industry - the independent musicians
themselves. "Power to the Indie" isn't just a a clever slogan, it's the
Indiedrive battlecry. The industry is changing, and it's time for the
little-guy to have the same opportunities as the big-guy. In fact, the
little-guy is no longer that much smaller than the big boys on the block
- and it is starting to prove that hard work, creativity, and GOOD MUSIC
are starting to destroy the paradigms of the music industry. Indiedrive
is here to be a part of this movement, where music rules and the
corporate world listens.
At the helm: Steve Thaemert, former Precious Red frontman and
entrepreneur. With a lifetime of music industry experience, steve brings
his people-first attitude and joke-heavy personality to the table. At
his side: former bandmates Bob Othoudt and Steve Manire, two guys who
know the independent market well and have that same relationship-focused
mentality. The backbone: accountant and brainwizard Pete Holmbo. Forget
the fact that he will where a pink polo without batting an eyelash, Pete
keeps the Indiedrive machine moving. The rest of the Indiedrive team is
a collection of innovative people who truly care about independent music
and have volunteered their time to help grow the flash-drive album
market.
The Indiedrive team is always available to answer questions, listen to
ideas, or just sit and chat. Power to the Indie!
