The time has come to acknowledge some truly awesome talent and provide them with the recognition and help that they deserve! Every few weeks we explore Kickstarter, the online platform that helps fund and spread the word about the newest creative projects. After a long hard hunt, we have selected a couple bands to promote that are pursuing projects we think you should check out.
Banzai (Live) – Fierce Creatures
Indie rockers Fierce Creatures (@fiercecreatures) definitely live up to their name with fiery and uninhibited performances that feature layered instrumentation and infectious chanting. Having already taken the stage at Austin’s South by Southwest, the band is no stranger to the success that comes with hard work and a whole lotta’ heart. Given the positive reception of their debut EP, the Central Californian seven-piece has returned to the studio to create their first full-length album. They just need a little help to mix, master, and press their work to vinyl. With only a few days left in their Kickstarter project, Fierce Creatures is hoping to reach their goal of $5,000 in order to create a masterful final product for all of us to enjoy.
Best ROI: $20 gets you a signed copy of the album on vinyl PLUS a digital download and a special thank you from the band
Los Angeles’s Chasing Kings (@chasing_kings) craft highly accessible and charismatic indie pop music. Infused with a bluesy-alt rock sound, their music has an edge that exudes an undeniable coolness and confidence. After touring up the east and west coasts this year, the band devoted some time to cultivating their creativity and self-producing a new album. They are now seeking some outside assistance to mix and master their project and fund the promotion of their record. Chasing Kings have their sights set on a goal of $12,000 to make their new music look and feel top-notch.
Best ROI: $25 will get you a new record on compact disc, a digital download, a super cool signed bookmark, and a poster to top it all off.
