Indochine launches 28 minute film on Tidal: ‘Road Tour Film’
While a lot of labels have until now not received a single penny from Jay-Z’s Tidal (that’s not a joke, the service has literally not paid several bigger indie aggregators since it’s start), the French band Indochine is releasing an exclusive film via the platform.
The film, titled “Road Tour Film”, has already been available on Tidal since early July, but has gotten little attention so far outside France (where Tidal launched a promotional campaign). Not that that will increase a lot with this post because Tidal is not exactly doing all that well and for instance struggles with a low subscription rate (and apparently a not so healthy cash flow seeing the lack of payments).
Here’s the teaser for the film:

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
