Conveyor is raising money to buy a van for their upcoming nationwide tour.
TOURVEYOR 2012
Conveyor is touring the continental United States this summer in support of their debut full length, and we're asking for your help to raise the money
that we need to do it. Basically, we're proud to have been able to
offer our music for free since day one, and we'd like to continue doing
so with all of our future releases. However, there are
a lot of costs that go into making all of that music, like studio fees,
monthly rehearsal space rent, instrument repair and a bunch of other
things that we're doing a pretty good job of handling ourselves. Still, when it comes to short-term, large investments, we just don't
have the money.
That's why we're asking you, as supporters and
fans of our music, for a small, one-time donation towards our goal of
$6000 to buy a van. In a nutshell, it will allow us to get out of
Brooklyn and perform hopefully somewhere close to you. Let me put it
this way: I'm sure every one of you have at one point bought a beer for a
friend in need, and I'm doubly sure that if we asked you to, you'd buy
us a beer in thanks for our music. But if all of you bought us beers at
the same time, there'd be no practical way for us to enjoy them! Instead, if
every one of you just donated that beer money to our bank account, we'd
skyrocket over our goal and we'd be able to tour the entire country this summer!
Better yet, we wouldn't ask you to just give us money without offering anything in return, so check out the rewards to the right. We've got vinyl records, show tickets, and even a home-cooked meal if you're one of the lucky ones. We've even got amazingly psychedelic posters based on new artwork designed by Benji Haselhurst:
Here's the sort of chillwaves you can expect to ride when we come to your town!
The Mukraker singles are in!
Check the FAQ below for a tentative schedule and make sure we're coming close to you. Don't hesitate to throw some suggestions our way!
Thank you for your love and support as this project has flourished over the past year. We can't wait to expand and share with you our horizons, our minds, and our innermost soul glow.
Love,
Alan, Michael, T.J. and Evan

Even better question. We can't put a price on our eligibility, nor would we ever post our personal contact info online! You'll have to come meet us at a show on tour, and to do that you'll have to first help us get to our $6000 goal so that we can buy a van!

We're looking at economically and ecologically viable van solutions. Touring is hard on the bank and hard on our Earth, so we'd like to get something that's big enough to fit all of our music stuff but that still gets good gas mileage. Ideally we'd be looking at a diesel conversion van (like those kinds with the curtains on the windows!). Got one you'd like to donate? Shoot as an email at conveyortheband[at]gmail.com
