What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

When someone asks you "Hey, uh, you. What did you want to be when you grew up?" What do you think of? Got it? Alright, cool. Now, imagine you happen to meet a couple of other people serendipitously (thanks college) and you agree that you're all going to answer that question on three:  One.. TWO... THREEE! And you all happen to blurt out the same exact thing. 

You share that thing. You all can't stop discussing that thing, because that thing is what no one understands. That thing keeps you up at night. This is our 'that thing.' We want this to be the rest of our lives, and we're going after it with all we've got. We don't know how to start a business, or how to build an app, or how to pour coffee in perfect-alternating-concentric circles while humming an Arcade Fire song. We play music. That's what we were born to do, and we need some help to keep at it.


$$

We need $3,000 to help us to finish building out a studio. All the big stuff is taken care of. We have all of our synths, guitars, computer, and monitors. The rest of what we need mostly consists of cables, mics, sound-proofing, pre-amp, stands, interface, etc. We have included some awesome reward levels to try to pay you back for all of the incredible help you're willing to offer. We have these digitally mastered artist renderings of what the suspects may look like below.

The pipe-funding-dream is to finish a studio so we can record our own music for years to come. We don't want to skimp out of the gate, or else the overall quality of our product could greatly suffer. We want our music to translate to you as well as possible.

This Really Is Our Dream

As cliché as it may sound, we can't say it enough. We know you've probably heard it before from every band that's asked for money behind a computer screen, or possibly from an open guitar case laid out on the sidewalk. We have to ask for your help, because we have to make this happen for ourselves, and we can't do it alone

A lot of our friends and family are dropping everything to pursue their version of astronaut or fire(wo)man. This is our version. It's so incredibly inspiring to see people risk EVERYTHING to make their day-dreams a reality. That's all we want, because we know our music can impact you the way it impacts us. That, and we want our example of just saying " yeah, I'm going for this," to motivate anyone and everyone to go out and shoot for the life you've always wanted most for yourselves. 

Risks & Challenges

The only tangible risk is in a potential delay of fulfillment if we do not meet our funding goal. If we don't make the full 3K, we may have to push back the fulfillment date on your perks. 

Failure is the greatest risk, but the fear of failure won't stop us. We've got to try. We owe it to ourselves to try. It's better than looking back in 10 years and saying, "man, if we had only given that one real shot, what if..." If we fail here, and don't meet our goal, it doesn't stop us, it only slows us down. We'll figure it out, because that's our only option. We just want you to be a part of the journey!

Other Ways You Can Help

If you can't donate $$, visit our website and listen! Reach out to us! Share our website and music. MOST OF ALL: If you donate, OR just want to send all your free good vibes/ju-ju/prayers, SHARE this, PLEASE. It's the only way that we can continue to grow and reach heights we can't even fathom.

Also, let us know how we can help YOU. We have a pipe dream, and know that you do, too. If there's a way we can contribute to helping you live YOUR dream, reach out. Seriously.
