About this project
Since starting this band over five years ago, we've worked hard to write music that both explores new territory and takes inspiration from where we've all come from. The first product of our efforts, the eleven-track CD Straight On 'Til Morning, was completed in 2009 and released online. It's available on itunes, Amazon mp3, and a whole bunch of other online distributors.
The only problem is that it's not actually a CD yet! We poured all of our resources into recording this thing on our own...building bedroom studios, traveling back and forth to record (we were living in different cities), putting out promotion for people to purchase it online, etc.
At every show we've been asked where people can buy a copy, and we always have to say, "Get it on itunes." It would be lovely to have copies for fans right there.
To press CDs the way we want to (in all recyclable eco-jackets) will cost a little over $300 for 100 copies. That's about $3 each. If we sell them at $10 each, we'll have enough to reinvest for future production runs. That makes this project self-sustaining, and your contribution will be a true kickstart!
We've got the artwork and the music ready to go, and with your help, we're now able to press copies!
While we were raising funds we were contacted by director Alec Contestible, who said he would like to shoot a video for us. As we're beyond the goal amount needed to press our records, funds donated from this point on will go into the video shoot on June 19. We hope you'll help us make this awesome!

Composer, guitarist, all around go to guy for music. I grew up playing guitar in bands before studying composition formally at UC San Diego, L'ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, and King's College, London. I have had my music performed across the US and Europe, and am now working on releasing my first CD.
