I took this from the Michigan concerts website:

Their latest release Songs from the Black Mountain (2006) reached number three on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart.

I guess none of us bothered to check. So for an indy release, the album didn't do half bad. Live has in fact gone indy. A tour can probably only help the albums meet sales expectations.

Pretty cool!

Let me clarify something.

RED is not their "indie" distribution company. While it's main focus is indie music, RED handles plenty of major label artists on labels owned by Sony. Other artists distributed by RED include Switchfoot and Chevelle, and neither one is most definitely not indie.

(Though it must be known that Switchfoot was promoted after the success of The Beautiful Letdown, and then left dead in the water.)
