Who are we and where are we going
M.O.R.T. is an uncompromising punk - blues band from Sinj, (Croatia) with intense sound and unrestrained live performances. The band was founded by three friends, John, Zvrk and Kikos, in autumn of 2003. In the late 2012, drummer Mile joins them on recording a full demo album called ˝Vrhunsko dno˝,that is released during the summer of 2013. Since then, they have been performing all over Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegowina, Slovenia and Montenegro,whether as participants of various festivals or independently, with over 200 gigs in four years. Among festival performances, the one which stands out is definitely Jelen Demofest in Banja Luka, where they won first place, just like they did at Rock Off. They also got into finale of HR demo club in 2012., and won third place on WHF in 2013. Their second album “Odjel za žešće”, which received both excellent reviews and title of “the album of the year“, is released in July 2014. In the beginning of 2015 the band is nominated for Porin awards (Croatian music award) in the “new performer“ category. With their third official album “Tužna kocka”, released on 1st of April 2016., once again they receive critical acclaim which got them to the top of regional music industry.
M.O.R.T. has over 300 concerts in 5 years, 17 official video clips, over 4 million YouTube views, three brilliant albums, over 10,000 TV appearances...While releasing their albums and working on new material, the band is continuously touring, spreading their energy and their music.
This campaign is a fundraiser for our next project that is our first album enitrely written in english language. We are counting on your help to get us on our way by providing us necessery funds for mixing, mastering, graphics of an album that we already finished recording in Studio Pavarotti Mostar. We are almost there we just need some more money so we can finish it :)
With your help we're gonna be able to tour new places and expand the reach of our music beyond our native language
Where your money goes and what you get in return
Studio rent for 5 days of mixing 1100$, producer 600$, mastering (London or LA) 600$, cattering for five days 300$, design of cover, new web page, merch and campaign 1000$, item production 500$, indiegogo and bank fees 300$, total of 4400$.
There are some perks that you can't find in many campaigns. We want you to feel like a part of band if you are brave enough. Best way to really know how we stayed together is to go with us on a spiritual trip of recharging energy in the mountains for two days. For those that are not so physically ready, we offer you to tour in our van and be with us the whole day, to see all you have to do to play a good gig, or invite us to your place to have private concert in your backyard.
Our minds are set on finishing this album either way, even if we don't get all the necessary funds, we will finish it! Even in poorer quality with funds that we have just like the old blues saying goes: .. play what you can with what you have. But together we can avoid shitty sound :)
Migrating is all about moving. Help us meet you. Give us fuel for our vehicle that is music.
Migrating is all about moving. To live is to move. Unlike contemporary humans, birds and music still transcend all borders. This is our goal, getting waaaaay back to our human ancestors' nomad roots, playing music, singing dancing and travelling. Help us meet you. Give us fuel for our vehicle that is music.
We won't let you down
If we don't do this album nobody will, and the world will be deprived of a kickass piece of music, and all the buzz that goes with playin live music: the party, the gathering, the energy of having a great time. Pushing boundaries of rock'n'roll, punk, blues, metal and stoner - this album has it all! It's gonna make you lose your mind!
This is our first fundraising campaign. We are determined to record it either way, but you will be of great help.
We have a good team of creative and hardworking friends and business partners we worked with before with our last two albums. We want to continue makin music until we die and make it best we can without publishers interfering.
