Help Us Make It To The Finish Line
Donation protected
HEY THERE STRANGE ONES!!!!!
EXCITING STUFF! We're almost done with our new debut record "The Great Social Experiment". After 2 years of blood, sweat, tears, band transitions, thousands of dollars in out of pocket expenses (paycheck to paycheck) and the $2000 raised on the first crowd funding campaign we are finally to the mixing stage. With your help, we can finish the final stretch and get this record done by the end of Spring 2016.
We have set a goal of $5,500 (which is not nearly what we really need to pull this off, but seems a bit more realistic to stick with) Let's keep our fingers crossed that we surpass our goal so we can make it happen.
Why should you help?
Funding a record independently is not an easy task, to say the least, especially when you live paycheck to paycheck like we do. YES: We were on Jimmy Kimmel Live, but NO: The journey to fame & fortune is far from over.
When you don't have a label, you don't have access to promotional tools that help to easily spread your message. HOWEVER, what we lack in regards to corporate label support, we more than make up for with the support of our friends, family and fans all around the world. You have the power to move mountains and make music possible.
Here is how you can HELP:
So now, we are offering an online platform through GoFundMe to reach our goal. This is an AMAZING opportunity for us and all the things we do with our music and we are asking for your help to see it come into fruition. The money you donate will go towards bringing some of our favorite songs to life so they can be sent out to spread the love and change the world!
The band has been hard at work and we are beyond excited for you to hear what we are coming up with! Songs on the list:
"The River"
"Over My Head"
"C'est L'Amour"
"Black Dog (Like A Ghost)"
"Garden In The Sky"
"The Wayside"
"More Than This"
"I Am The Wind"
"Run"
"You've Always Had My Heart"
And our first single to be released "Break Away", which we had mixed & mastered by Matt Bayles just so we could give it to you as incentive for helping us with this record.
We have also recorded songs that may make it onto the record or be saved for a b-side such as "Sinking Like Stones", "Adeline" and "For Better Or Worse".
All this amazing sound waiting to be released into the world, and you can help, by simply donating so that we can run the final stretch and reach our goal this year.
So, would you please pray if you are the praying type, give if you are the giving type and pass it on to everyone you know? Ask them to consider helping to reach a big goal that just got so much closer!
Thank you so much for your support over the years and we can't wait to share this with y'all.
