In order to go on the sickest most awesome European tour ever and wreak American rock and roll havoc across the globe we need you!
Since 2008 we've been crawling around our beloved USA cranking out jams with pleasure. We have now been offered the opportunity to open for king's of the road FU MANCHU on their 15 country/24 show European tour Sept. 14 - Oct 12th. We would get to bring our breed of riff rocking jams to far off places such as Estonia and Vienna in addition to England, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the other usual suspects.
Fu Manchu have been badass enough to invite us along, but we need:
- Plane tickets to get there (about $3000)
- A van to drive in plus gas ( about $3000+$5000)
- A driver who can maneuver Europe (about $2000)
- Guitar and Bass Amps and a drumset (about $1000)
After that we're going to record some brand new tunes at Motorwolf Studios in Den Haag, Holland on their all-analog vintage gear, with the intention of using them for our new album. (about $1500-2000)
We're looking at a rough total of $16000 to make this trip happen, but we've also been saving and think if we can raise at least $7450 it will be a massive help towards getting the job done. This is the chance of a lifetime and we wouldn't ask if we didn't think your contribution could make a gigantic difference!
