Josh Freese, a drummer who has worked with bands like NIN, Weezer, The Vandals, and is on tour with A Perfect Circle this summer, has some interesting strategies to help with sales on his solo project titled "My New Friends". Some of his offerings include (directly pulled from article):
- For $5, you can download the disc at www.joshfreese.com.
- If you hand over $75,000 to drummer Josh Freese, he will join your rock group or become your personal assistant; present you with one of his drum sets; write and record a five-song EP about you; go for a ride around Hollywood with you in a Lamborghini owned by Danny Carey, the drummer for the group Tool; shop with you for matching outfits at Tommy Bahama; and give you 500 copies of "My New Friends" (Outerscope), his new EP.
- One of the $7,500 packages for "My New Friends" is a chance to fly with Dexter Holland of the Offspring in his private jet.
- $7,500 package that includes a trip with Mr. Freese and actor Johnny Knoxville to bet on the horse races at Hollywood Park and then visit a Build-a-Bear Workshop.
- For $10,000, you can have Mr. Freese's Volvo 940 station wagon, which, he points out, is perfect for hauling drums. Most packages include a meal at P.F. Chang's, preferably the one a few blocks from Mr. Freese's home, and a copy of his fifth-grade report card.
