About this project

Hello dear friends,

Lying quietly in wait are a slew of songs just dying to be danced to and we need your help to set them free.  Five strange and marvelous beasts.  Funkadelic monsters of the rarest form.  Rhythmically pulsing through the tropical deep, whispering strange secrets and riding some synthadelic waves to make you get freakier and break looser then a pacific wave.  
Baby these are northwest jams to make the elves shake and the moon beam and we're bringing them straight to you, where ever you may be, preserved in platinum perfection on our new EP.......with your help of course.

Our EP will include five songs which we have already begun recording.  All  of the songs will be performed, recorded, and mixed by us in our home studio.  We will also do all the artwork, graphics and layout ourselves.  However, there are some things we can’t do without your help.  Our $2000 goal is just enough to cover the cost of mastering, pressing, and packaging our CD.  Any additional funding we might receive will go towards the filming of our next music video and paying for touring expenses.

Help birth The Tempers Vol. 2 and you wont be disappointed.

FAQ's:

What styles and colors of shirts are available?

Our basic shirt is the American Apparel fine jersey t-shirt which we will dye and screen print in a variety of color combinations.  If you would like a sleeveless/muscle shirt, we can also cut the sleeves off and we'll even hem it for ya.  If there is another American Apparel style that you would like (a dog shirt perhaps?) let us know and we can work it out, just send us a message!  You can also send us your own shirt to screen print on.

What are the "tempers dolls"?

Well... they are miniature replica's of the three of us, and in this case they will just happen to be wearing one-piece suits with colorful cone-hats. (just like in the video)

What is a "special poem written just for you"?

It will be a one of a kind hand-written poem written by Corina celebrating our friendship.
