Who are we?
Hi. We're April Weeps - 7 individuals with different interests and lives, with different priorities regarding musical genres, who are joined through their love for music in an atmospheric metal band. We meet regularly for rehearsals at an unused nuclear shelter in a little town - Dunajská Streda in a little country - Slovakia.
We really enjoy what we do and the band means a lot in the life of every one of us. In case you would like to get to know more about us and our music, please check us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/AprilWeeps . We keep receiving positive feedback on our music from the audience and are often asked where our songs can be found or whether we have an album. We have some homemade records, but there is no record of professional quality available yet. This is what we want to change. But we need your help.
What We Need and What Do We Need it for?
The result of our hard work is a setlist of our best songs, which we are ready to record. However we cannot afford to pay all the costs, that is why we decided to try IndieGoGo and introduce our project to the public. Thus, we are raising funds for the recording of our debut album, which will be called "Outer Calm, Pain Within".
We need to raise $4 000 to cover the costs of the recording, which includes studio time, mixing and mastering. We do not ask you for money that would be spent on food and gas. We are also putting our money in the recording, but it turned out not to be enough. That is why we ask you for help with the main costs. The studio time is already set, thus we start recording at the end of August.
What Will You Get?
Your support will be highly appreciated and in exchange we are offering the very thing we can give to you - our music. The list of perks contains digital pre-release of our album, pre-release with an extra song, the album on CD, a signed copy of the album, CD with a T-shirt. In case of bigger donations we would like to make a phone call, or put your name in the textbook, even to welcome you at our shelter and spend a weekend with you in Dunajská Streda (believe us, it would be an unforgettable experience for you), or in addition we will organize a concert especially for you (during your stay in Dunajská Streda).
How Else Can You Help?
We would kindly ask you to spread our project. There are many ways to do it - talk about it with your friends, show our music to them -maybe they will like it, or use facebook, myspace, twitter or other media, share our facebook page, or use the share options on the IndieGoGo site. This way you can help us not only with our fundraising campaign, but also with our purpose as musicians - to get our music to the audience worldwide.
Thank you!
Miloš, Dexx, Michal, Marta, Noro, Doki and Roli
