Cage the Elephant have become the latest band to sell a portion of their future royalties to raise capital for future projects. They're using a company called Royalty Exchange, which aims to allow music creators to essentially go public: investors can buy a share of future royalties on songwriting and recording, paying the artists money that can be used to finance future recordings, tours, and other projects.

"Cage the Elephant is a band in their prime with a long career still ahead of them," said the band's manager in a statement. "Financially empowering artists is the key to creative control, which is the most important factor to achieving true longevity."

The band are selling a portion of their future royalties to a private group of over 40 individual and institutional investors. If you want to pay those investors a tiny fraction of a cent right now, you can press play on the video below. (Billboard)
