Soccer Tees and the ... what?

People always ask us, "If you're Socrates, then who are the Lava Gods?".  The truth is, we don't really know, but if you help us get this EP recorded we may be closer to the answer!


We're a Seattle based Alternative Rock band.  We've been playing shows together for about a year, but we've been jamming even longer than that.  We've been recording our own demos for a while now, but we just don't have the resources to get a truly professional sound.  We strive to capture the live energy of our shows and the dive into the depths of our creative minds on this EP, but we need to record at a good studio & work with good people to make that happen.


What is our goal?

Our goal is to record & mix a 5-6 song EP at the world famous Robert Lang Studios with engineer/producer Chris Rahm.  If you don't know about RLS...click the link above - it's an amazing place.  We'll  send those recordings off to be mastered, then finally release the EP digitally for all of you to enjoy & share with your friends.


Why do you need our help?

We're musicians!  We're Poor!

Honestly though, recording is expensive, and so is being in a band.  If we all ate Top Ramen for the next 6 months we could maybe foot the bill for this entire project ourselves, but that's unrealistic.  We need your help.  Music is a group effort.  We'd be nothing if nobody believed in us, came to our shows, or wanted to see us succeed.  Our fans, friends, and family are what keep our fire burning.  We want everyone to share this experience with us.  We want to make you feel like you're invested in this, and if you donate then you are invested in it.

How much will it cost?

We're looking at 4 days of tracking and 3 days of mixing.  Then we'll send these tracks out to be mastered.


$2,000 (Tracking)

$1,500 (Mixing)

+   500 (Mastering)

$4,000 


What to expect from us & how you can help


We've already booked our days for recording...March 10-14, and we're going to make this happen no matter what.  Even if we don't reach our total goal, every single dollar you put towards this project is going towards the EP.  If we somehow get over our goal (WOW!), it's still going to contribute directly to this project.  If we get enough we might even be able to immediately print/sell physical CD's, which is something we've decided to wait on just because of the amount of $$$ we're already prepared to drop for the recording process.


Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated, but we also understand if you don't have the financial flexibility to help us out at this time.  Either way, if you know a music lover...share this page with them!
