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 basement under a railway and we're working hard to finish several records and prepare for the shows we like to play. Yes, we need more money but that's not because of 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. We are trying our best to maintain quality in sound and lyrical writing, take our time to record the best takes in the studio and not rush it into a result that feels like heard-before-a-thousand-times. There were countless times until now when we were struggling to choose whether we should spend the little money we have on making records or on additional gear we need to gig.

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!

Thank you!
