I've just been looking at the Temple Cooper Clause's website.

As well as all the usual nonsense there's an 'edit some clips into a video and win an iPod' competition, and there are a set of six live tracks for free download.

These tracks were recorded on May 13th 2003, at The Cooper Temple Clause's QMU gig in Glasgow. They make up 'The Apple Bootlegs' and include:

1. Promises, Promises
2. Who Needs Enemies?
3. Let's Kill Music
4. Murder Song
5. Been Training Dogs
6. Devil Walks In The Sand

You can even download a PDF of the cover!

This is pretty good stuff, and I hope it pays off for the 'Clause, and that they don't lose out to the downloaders for their main releases.

I believe that The Darkness did something similar, but don't have a URL.

Anyone else have any similar sites for established, well known bands doing something similar? (Not new, cult, or minority artists.)
