About this project
Here's the scoop (as well as the poop)!
Our goal is simple. We want to make an album!! Not just ANY album...We want to make a freakin' AMAZING album...And we want YOU to be a part of it!
The songs are pretty much written, and honestly, we just can't wait to get them out for the world to hear.
Here is the first demo we did...
There are so many more hilarious songs in the hopper...help us record them and spread Jarinus across the land!
We can NOT make this happen without YOUR support!
The funds raised here will be used for recording, mixing and mastering a 12-15 song album of original songs that will blow your mind and make you smile! The money will also go to manufacturing CDs and will also help with physical and digital distribution. Additional funds raised here will go to marketing/ promotion, video production, and will also help us recoup travel expenses (we live in two different states for crying out loud!).
Most importantly, using Kickstarter gives us an opportunity to interact with YOU and do lots of fun stuff. You can be part of the entire process!! We are doing this TOGETHER! By pledging, you can get advance MP3s, CDs, t-shirts, stickers, and so much more! You can hang with us, Skype with us, write songs with us and even RECORD MUSIC with us! Both members of Jarinus have produced and written international hit songs for themselves and other artists...why not YOU or your band?
Remember, if we do not reach our goal, the project is not funded and we get nada.
Thank you for the consideration! Let's do this!
