We have incredible news. The Southwest is coming to Illinois.

TAKE, The Forerunner (Las Vegas, NV) and xDOULOSx (Southern California) have the incredible opportunity to play Audiofeed Festival in Champaign-Urbana this July. We are honored to be representing the West Coast scene on Friday, July 3rd as part of the Resuscitation Records Night. Audiofeed is one of the most vital grassroots festivals in the country. Being invited to share our music on this stage is a massive milestone, and we are determined to bring our best performance possible.

The Mission

To ensure we arrive fresh and ready to destroy the stage, all three bands are flying their collective crew of 15+ musicians and directly into Champaign (CMI). As independent underground artists, we work tirelessly to spread our music and message into the hardcore and metal scenes. As many of you know being smaller bands we don't make much which is why we are reaching out to you. The cost of flying halfway across the country is a heavy lift. We are looking to raise funds to subsidize the travel expenses for the team.

The Breakdown

We are pooling our resources to make this happen efficiently. Every dollar raised goes directly to the "Travel Fund":

* Flights: Getting the personnel from Las Vegas (LAS) and SoCal (LAX/ONT) directly to Champaign (CMI).

* Local Transport: Moving gear and people from Willard Airport to the festival grounds.

* Lodging: Safe accommodations for the team.

Note: Flying into a regional airport is convenient but expensive. This fundraiser won't cover the entire trip, but hitting our goal covers the bulk of our plane tickets. We are covering food and extras out of our own pockets.

How to Help

* Donate: Any amount helps get us one mile closer to Champaign.

* Share: Help us spread the word to the underground music community.

* Listen: Stream TAKE, The Forerunner, and xDOULOSx.

We are incredibly grateful for the support. We are coming to Illinois to bring everything we have. See you in the pit.
