Hi. Hey. Hello.
We are Fourth and Coast. We make music. This is our Indiegogo.
For those of you who don’t know, Fourth & Coast is a music group/band/whatever you want to call it made up of myself (Stephen Ordonez) and James Colla. We have been playing music together since we were kids and have been able to experience a plethora of incredible things since then. Thanks to our AMAZING fans and a lot of hard work we have been able to:
- Tour the entire U.S. and parts of Canada nine times in the past two years
- Play a handful of sold out shows across the country
- Release two successful EPs and four singles
- Collaborate on a song with one of our favorite artists The Ready Set
- Feature our songs in huge stores such as Hollister and Aeropostale
- Meet thousands of people who are as much in love with music as we are
All of this would have sounded impossible if you told us this ten years ago, when we barely knew how to play a chord or write a song. All we knew was that we loved music.
That still is the case today.
We are now in the process of writing and recording new songs. Not necessarily for an album or an EP, but just for the sake of creating. After spending two years on the road sharing the art we love with people who truly appreciate it as much as we do, we have decided that we want to dedicate this year to releasing music for the love of it. We finally have a creative vision for our sound and we want to share it with you. We want to get the music we have created into your hands ASAP.
With your help, we can do this. We want to be able to get studio time, pay the right producers for the project, and successfully get our music out from our heads and into the inter web. This is the biggest project we have ever done as Fourth & Coast and we are both humbled and ecstatic to have you all here supporting us.
THE GOAL
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to fund our new music of 2015. From previous experiences, we know that crowd funding allows us to cut the middle man out. It allows us - including YOU - to create the records that we want to make without anything ruining the creative process. If we have the funds to do so, we can release our best music yet and share it with all of you.
One of the best parts of all of this is that NOT ONLY do we get to make the records we have always wanted to make, but we get to give all of you really cool stuff in the process!
We tried to make each pledge prize as unique and fun as possible. In addition to getting new music, you can also pledge for things such as new merch (shirts,hoodies,drawstring backpacks), private lessons, house parties, and even letting us be your tour guide around the lovely city of San Diego! The pledge prizes are one of our favorite parts about crowd funding because it is our way of giving back to everyone who decides to become a part of our project. It is a way that we can connect on a deeper level.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US
We truly believe that the new music we have been working on is the most important work we have done as a band. We have never put so much passion into what we love before and it means the world to have the amazing support from all of you!
If you can’t pledge and still want to be a part of this project, even a simple share on Facebook or Twitter would help an immense amount.
Of course there are always going to be risks with anything you do. But we have complete confidence in this campaign and know we will be able to release our new music and begin the next chapter as Fourth & Coast. Together. Thank you again so much in advance for your help!
Let’s do this.
