Antenna Alliance: A CC Recording Collective
January 21st, 2007 by Dani ProbablyAntenna Alliance (AA) is a “no-profit record label/recording collective” put together by students, musicians and DJ’s in the Boston/Cambridge area. Their deal? They give bands FREE recording time and space, with one stipulation: the music must be liberally licensed.
Not such a bad trade. And once tracks are down, they’re sent to affiliate stations in the region for airplay. The kids at AA even claim “[i]f it’s really, really good we sit around making nice CD cases with construction paper and glue.”
The project’s roots are deep in free culture, and it only makes sense for chapters outside Boston/Cambridge to participate. If you’re interested in helping to expand the scope of AA, check us out and let us know!

UPDATE: Antenna Alliance was recently covered on public radio, on the show Here and Now on WBUR:

Weirdly, http://antalliance.org is down, but http://www.antalliance.org is working. Don’t ask me why.
UPDATE: Try clearing your browser cache, if you’ve visited the site before you may have an incorrect redirect cached. In Firefox you can find this under Preferences -> Privacy -> private data “clear now”. This fixed the problem for me. But it does seem weird that this is necessary.
