Help FAME&FICTION Make A Record!!

FAME&FICTION is a queer-identified 6 piece alt-rock band residing in Nashville, TN. The group formed in August of 2016... and three days after their first rehearsal, they were playing a show at The Lipstick Lounge with some amazing crowd reaction! There's nothing like jumping in head first...right?

Fast-forward one year...

They are now gearing up to depart for their very first tour through the Midwest!!! The "FAME&FICTION DEBUT TOUR" is August 4th-12th and will touchdown in cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Kalamazoo and Indianapolis at some very reputable venues like the Hi-Fi Indy and the 331 Club. 

Collectively, FAME&FICTION write and develop songs around the energy of 6 talented souls rocking out in an east Nashville basement together. When they need to make money, the "Core 4" (Leah, Lauren, Owen and Trish) work as bartenders, servers or cooks...while two of the members (Kristen & Kelsey) are full-time touring artists. http://www.kristenfordmusic.com/

This campaign has been created to give some much needed financial help to this promising new rock group.
They wish to:
1.) Get their music into the right hands (record labels, management, media, etc.)
2.) Make a professional 4-5 song EP that can be used in their Electronic Press Kit, get published on Spotify, iTunes and all of the other musical mediums online
3.) Help offset touring costs for their upcoming Fall Tour (dates TBD once crowdfunding campaign is complete)
4.) MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO!!! They definitely want to be seen as well as heard! Check out their Youtube channel here: http://bit.ly/2w2kYDy

While FAME&FICTION's sound is alternative rock, all of these musicians are Nashville transplants and have vast musical backgrounds...which speaks to the magnetic power of Music City, USA.
Nashville is truly a town where anything goes, everyone seems to plays an instrument (well) and the bar is decidedly higher!

"In 2017, it feels like nobody makes albums anymore. Nobody plays/tours in a 6 piece band. Nobody needs to nail four part harmonies when a pedal or computer program can do it with ease. One DJ can move a crowd and beats are pre-programmed into their expensive software. The pop songs of 2017 are all highly controlled, compressed, auto tuned, subject neutered and bland. Like potato chips, we are meant to love a song at first listen and take it no further.
In the Trump era, where LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, the glass ceiling for women is thicker than ever, in an industry where women are expected to either be a girlfriend of a musician or a sexualized singer, and deep within the heart of Red Tennessee, FAME&FICTION has MUCH to say, to play and to celebrate."
-Kristen Ford, Lead Guitar 

Please consider helping FAME&FICTION pave the way to their goal of raising $10,000 towards recording a 4-5 song EP, so that they can start sending their music to industry leaders, festival committees and YOU! This is just the beginning of something quite woderful- and with your help, FAME&FICTION can start acheiving some real success in this highly competitive industry.

The band really appreciates the time you took to look at this Crowdfunding page! They will be promoting this campaign throughout their "FAME&FICTION DEBUT TOUR" from Aug 4th-12th and a few days following their return home, If you can share this page to your friends, and LGBTQIA+ related social media sites,  mailing lists, etc...you would be MOST GRACIOUSLY APPRECIATED!
