Hurrah! is putting out an album which will detail the greater mysteries of life, love and the pursuit of everything.
As a young band that has only been in existence a relatively short while, we’ve already seen some accomplishments from the work we have put in – most importantly the steady growth of our fan base. We’re playing more shows, getting thrown out of fewer bars, busy writing, preparing ourselves to record a new album, and even the press are saying nice things about us!
Hurrah! is totally independent and working harder than ever BUT we need your support to continue our growth and to record, promote and market our new album. We are not asking for charity, but rather your support in the form of a pledge to purchase our new album in advance of release as well as numerous other goodies we’re making available to entice you to throw down with us.
A sampling of what’s available…
the unreleased portions of our back catalogue; limited edition posters and t-shirts; a “Kickstarter only” live dvd; an acoustic ep; an invite to attend a listening party with the band; opportunities to have the band perform in your home or at your event; a song written just for you; and many others…
We'll also be documenting and sharing our progress in the studio. By donating you become an essential part of the process and we want you to experience it with us.
Thank you so much for your support,
- Hurrah! A Bolt of Light!
