We are so excited to tell you that we are going to put out our second album 'Secret Transit' out ourselves. We know its going to be a lot of work, but we are ready. The main thing behind putting it out on our own besides paying close attention to detail is the funding. Thats the big reason bands go to labels, they act as a bank. And in return, most artists give the label their rights to publishing, and half the money they make. Lucky for us, there are some new and exciting ways to get the money we need. After a lot of searching and emailing some of these organizations who have put together ways of doing this, we chose to team up with Pledge Music. Why? Well, Pledge is made up of music folks, musicians, former label owners, you name it, they have done it. Therefore their entire focus is music. How does it work? For a $10 pledge, you receive a download of an EP we are making exclusively for you called Philanthropy. It has some songs that were recorded for both March Forth and Secret Transit that were never used. Everyone gets this whether you pledge $10 or $1000. Now, if you can give us more than $10, there are all kinds of gifts you get for your generous donation. You pick! You want us to play your wedding, we can. You want us to call you on your birthday, we will. You want to skype talk to us and ask us how to make lasagna? You can! Just find what incentive you are interested and buy it! The other piece that is great about Pledge is that artists donate money to a charity in return too. We will be giving 15% of all money made after we have reached our target to Art of Conservation. Art of Conservation is a group promoting peace and conservation through art and music in Rwanda. We chose this organization because we believe in peace and conservation but because we have been writing music for them to use in both English and Kinyarwanda. So, here's the Nitty Gritty. We have made our target amount lower than what we actually need to put out a record. We need money to manufacture, market, tour, publicize, and eat in order to continue to play as much as we want. Why did we make it lower than we need? Because if we don't make the target, we don't get anything. After 100% of the target has been raised, we want you to keep spreading the word, because ideally, we would sell everything off the site and have no incentives left which would put us around 200% above our target and then we could write a nice check to Art of Conversation. We are hoping that you will spread the word to your family, your friends, even your dentist! We can use all the help you can give. Please help us stay out there, doing what we love...If there is anytime to show your support, it is NOW!!!
