We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on December 25, 2010.

The men of Ryanhood have set out to record 20 of their newest and greatest songs. Help fund their mission and be rewarded handsomely.

Update: After last night's concert, an anonymous donor offered to double any donations made during this last five days, up to $500 total! Wow! Now is the time for any last minute donations, spread the word!

>

All donations are now going towards a publicity campaign for the new album. Please continue to spread the word... the more we're able to do here, the more we'll be able to promote and tour and continue to bring you new music. Thanks for your support!

We have an idea.
What if we took all that we learned when we made our last record with a grammy-winning producer in hollywood, but this time we stayed home?

And what if we assembled a team of comrades who could help us make the whole record for less money than we spent on gas driving back and forth to LA last time around?

And to top it off, what if we recorded a whopping 20 NEW SONGS this time around?

We've been putting the finishing touches on a massive batch of music. And we're ready to take the next step and share this music with you.

But we need your help in making it happen. And we are willing to offer you great treasures in return! Things like custom songs, private concerts, your name in the CD booklet, even Ryan Green shredding guitar on your band's music.

We know we can record the entire project for $3000. Because we are superstars of frugality. But we also know that we CAN'T record it without reaching our goal of $3000.

Sadly, if we don't reach our goal, you get your contribution back, and we get our songs back :-(

But that won't happen right? These songs were MEANT to be heard! They will go on to change the world, and you will have had a hand in it.

So please, make a donation, get some cool goodies in return, and spread the word to help us reach our fundraising goal.

Some Specifics: The money will go towards studio equipment, paying musicians (mostly in pizza), mixing, mastering, and eventually manufacturing of the CD.

Our recording team will consist of:

Ryan Alfred - Sound engineer for Calexico, Paper Route, She Wants Revenge and many more. He'll be producing, as well as engineering, mixing, and probably shredding on the tambourine.
Chris Giambelluca - Bassist for Calexico. He'll be lending us bass, production, and engineering talent.
Nadim Shehab - He'll be playing the role of Mr. Percussion
Cameron Hood - Pouring his heart, soul, and sweat into the mic. Also beating up his guitar.
Ryan Green - Shredding the guitar and mandolin, and stepping up to the vocalist plate as well.
Plus, special guests...

So go on, find the treasure you've always wanted on the right side of the screen, and together, let's make history!

-Ryan and Cameron (Ryanhood)
