About Meridian Vibe

We are Meridian Vibe, an indie-rock band from West Auckland, New Zealand. We are humbly and gratefully asking our fans and friends to partner with us and help us finish delivery of a product that we believe in. In the 3 years we have been a band we have developed and continued to hone our skills, matured as a band and created many original works. 

Pulsating drums, throbbing bass and angular guitar lines are the foundation for a Meridian Vibe song. We maintain that quality control along with good song writing is at the forefront of our appeal. Our lyrics try to capture the listener and convey images of the human experience, the one thing everyone shares. We cover a wide array of different sounds while trying to stay true to our rock roots.

Now taking the next step we want to partner with you, our fans and friends to release our debut EP Shimmer. 

What We Need & What You Get

What We Need:

The drive behind this campaign is to finish the production of the highest quality EP
we possible can create. We have been planning and preparing this project for over a year now and it has taken many hours to hash out the details. Our ultimate goal is to put out a full album of original Meridian Vibe music, but at this stage an EP is the quickest way we can get music out without sacrificing quality. 
Considerable resources have already been put into this project. To get over the line we need a little help. The breakdown is:


$800 For personnel (Producer, designer)
$1100 For mixing of the EP
$800 For mastering of the EP
$300 For CD Manufacturing

Starting with the mixing and paying for our producer, we will work our way down the list with the pledge money you donate. If we do not reach our campaign goal we will still try our absolute hardest to get this recording out there to the people, but it will be a long time between drinks. If we were blessed enough to substantially pass our target we will invest in more songs towards an album, merchandise, and a video for our second single "What's The Code Here?"


What You Get:

We have developed a range of perks you will find enjoyable and functional so you can get the most out of your investment. We went for perks that we would buy ourselves and believe it should be about the music and tangible items you can wear or use. Our perks range from DIGITAL DOWNLOADS of the EP, to PHYSICAL COPIES, EP POSTERS, and a FOUNDERS PACKAGE which we think is a cool way for you to be involved and support us. 

MERIDIAN VIBE T SHIRTS




Our T-Shirts promise to make you the envy of all your friends. We've designed these t-shirts based on the new cover of our first single 'Crash and Burn'. We have gone for the highest quality shirt and print we possibly could because the quality is more important to us than selling a cheap product you wouldn't use. You can wear these comfortable tees around to show your support for Meridian Vibe.

DINNER WITH THE BAND

     

To fill our 'meet the band quota' we will be organizing a pizza and beer dinner meet and greet at our favorite after gig hangout Sals pizza. We chose this as a more personal way to meet our fans rather than Skype calls and living rooms performances as you can really chat and get to know the band in person.

HAND BUILT GUITAR PEDAL

       

We like perks that we ourselves would enjoy having. So we designed a special perk for all the gear heads out there like our lead guitarist, Kelly. He is a keen pedal enthusiast and has hand built two distortion pedals based on the sounds and tones you will hear on the recordings.

HAND WRITTEN LYRICS

We are also offering handwritten lyrics of the songs on the EP accompanied with a personal message and polaroid photo. These will be written to the best of our ability and displayed nicely.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER



Above all else, this perk is highest honor in the Meridian-Vibe-World , becoming an Executive Producer on our debut EP Shimmer. For your generous pledge you will be recognized as being a driving force behind the project. You'll be credited as being an Executive Producer whilst also receiving a number of the other perks. We believe this perk is too often used as a pure money making ploy, we in Meridian Vibe want to include you and really make you an executive producer. We will give you the opportunity to hear the unfinished, work in progress versions of the songs, and listen to your feedback - would you really want to put your name on a product which you didn't get to share your views on?

The Impact

To us, this limited release will be a hugely important stepping stone in moving forward to developing our unique brand of music which we can then bring back to you, the fans. Your contribution is vital to the progression of the band, we have so many ideas and concepts we want to develop and share but it all starts here with this first EP and your support.
We can not complete this EP without our fan participation
The fact for us, a small independent band, is that we need the support of fans. Meridian Vibe is reaching out for the support of our loyal fan base and potential new followers to back something that they believe in.
We have begun recording the first batch of tracks towards a Meridian Vibe album. This will be released as a 'Limited Edition' EP to give a taste of whats to come. We know we have a lot of material worth hearing, but an album will take time. in the meantime, this EP will satisfy the request we keep getting - 'get us some new songs ASAP'.

We have never crowd funded before
,
we are learning on the job. If you have any suggestions that you think can make this campaign better for us the band or fellow pledgers please let us know.

Other Ways You Can Help

We understand that not everyone can contribute, but you can still help by sharing this video. The more people who see this the better chance we have of fufilling our dream of releasing music. So we call out to all of you to make some noise about this, share via Indiegogo, on your blogs, your twitter, your Facebook or even your Bebo account. Every view counts and helps us a lot more then you can imagine.
