Welcome to our Indiegogo page! If you don't know us, we are Rainbow Girls, a self-driven, all-lady, stompy/folky/rock n'roll band from California. We launched this fundraiser in an effort to raise the money we need to record our newest songs, get them mixed and mastered by a pro, and wrapped up in colors and magic, ready for all you patient patrons.
Those of you who know us personally, know we are far from rakin' in the dough. At this point in our rainbow journey we can make ends meet by busking and playing shows, but that really only covers food, gas, and kombucha. This past summer we managed to fund our tour throughout Europe and the UK, but after air fair, extra baggage fees, and rental vans, we haven't got much left for recording. In addition to racking up astronomical travel expenses, we've managed to amass a load of new original songs -and we can't wait to share them with you!
For this go-around we've chosen to record at Prairie Sun, a recording studio nestled into the gilded countryside north of San Francisco, but we'll need your help delivering this golden egg!
Here's a link to Prairie Sun, if you're interested in checking out the studio:

Tom Waits, Paul McCartney, Booker T. Jones, Greg Allman, and Van Morrison have all recorded there.... no big deal!?!
What We Need & What You Get
We are looking to raise $20,000. We know it's a little bit more than last time, but if we make our goal, we'll have an opportunity to record with some of the best in the west. Assuming we reach the $20,000 mark and Indiegogo takes only 4% ($800), we will be left with $19,200. Here is what your pretty lil' pennies will go toward:
$6,500- Studio time @ Prairie Sun Recording Studios
$3,000- Engineering Costs
$4,000- Mixing
$1,200- Mastering
$4,000- CD Duplication & Packaging
$500- Guest Artist Compensation
What do you get? You get pride. You get bragging rights. You get a lifetime of our songwriting. You get rainbow vibrations exploding in/out of your ears. You get laid by a unicorn under a waterfall. Not a freezing cold waterfall, or one that's too rough and would detract from the lovemaking, but a nice, cool embrace of water, setting a tinkling soundtrack to your pleasure. You get our new album!!!
Also, you get the fabulous prizes listed over there, under "perks": >>>>
The Impact
Since our musical birth in 2010, we've been all kinds of busy. We've played nine tours throughout Cascadia and the southwest. We spent three summers busking and gigging around Europe and the UK. We stomped holes in our boots and played a secret festival on the moon. We self-recorded our first two demos, "Joshua Tree/Bear Mountain"(2011) and "Eat It Fresh" (2012), released our first EP, "Stomp Folk" (2012), and thanks to all of you, we were able to record our first full-length studio album, "The Sound of Light" (2013). We now have more new songs than you could shake a stick at and it's hiigh time we record some of 'em!
We won't squander your dollars. Our time, money and passion are 99.99% committed to making a kickass album, and then making more kickass albums and being musicians for our entire lives, and just .01% committed to a nice cold glass of beer every now and then. (But we won't use your donation for that, we promise.)
Other Ways You Can Help
If you can't help us financially right now, there's still plenty of other ways you can help us....
Just kidding, we pretty much just need money.
Double just kidding! We'd also love tips on rad festivals, venues, and other sweet bands we should get in touch with.
But really, money would be nice :)
