Hey you,

I'm Nik, one of the folks from the pictures. The people you see are Stray Dogs. We make music in a tight little room under a railway and struggle to accomplish the finishing of several records we want to make and prepare for the shows we like to play. The reasons are not a lack of talent or wit, everyone in the band is crazy good, trust me! It's that making music has become incredibly expensive, at least if you pursuit to make it with our ambitions and standards which we are already lowering for the sake of just getting things done. There were countless times until now when we were struggling to choose whether we should spend the little money we have on records or on additional gear we need to gig. Two of us don't even have an amplifier momentarily, not joking.

You can probably guess that it hasn't become easy to afford things like that as prices went up everywhere. Now think of this - If our band had enough money to just buy the extra day in the studio that we need or the extra guitar, so we don't need to tune on stage or restring in case a string is broken, we could play one song more or there'd be one more song on the record. If we could just buy new merch for us and pay our designer properly, we can come up with way cooler designs and different options, sizes and maybe, someday a Stray Dogs Beanie, Hats and Babysuits or even a so called "Schnabeltasse". Wouldn't that be cool?

There are limitless needs for money when you're creative like we are, as our pipeline of creative Ideas is just cramped and about to explode. We could truly use every dollar, euro, pound or yen, you chose!

Also we want to get around and meet you guys anywhere in the world. We'd truly appreciate your support!
