PLEDGE
MUSIC CAMPAIGN - MAJOR NEWS
This is it! We are taking a step into the present day and the future of music. We began speaking to PledgeMusic and we pitched our new music project. PledgeMusic selectively chooses their projects and they chose to back our project. If you don't know what PledgeMusic is no worries. It's basically the Kickstarter for music but way better. PledgeMusic is much more personal, user friendly and it's amazing platform for us to work with you through the process of making this new album.

You are the
first to know about this campaign, It's so new that we haven't even completed
all the paperwork for it yet. Currently we are coming up with ideas for
exclusive offerings, project descriptions and organizing an official video.
Just to give you an idea, on a very basic level, how this will work. Ultimately
we need to reach a money goal and during this time period we will be posting
all sorts of exclusive content and you all have the opportunity to purchase
lots of really cool one of a kind merchandise. In general if you were to pledge
the minimum amount you will receive a pre release download of the album &
access to exclusive updates. You will then be able to interact with us and
other pledgers during the making of the album on a discussion board. We will
also be asking pledgers to come up with album names, possibly song titles &
album art. We want to work as closely as humanly possibly with you to
create this.
Also it is
possible to go way over our financial goal, which will help in so many ways.
Not only will the expenses for the album be covered, but we can then afford
more merchandise to offer (maybe vinyl/more music/new music video?) Also
all the downloads are reported to soundscan! This means that if there are a ton
of pledgers you could be responsible with getting Midnight
Mob on the actual Billboard Charts! We have the opportunity of being
next to all the crap that's played on the radio wouldn't that be a kick in the
face!
All in all
this will be such an intense journey and we really would like you to be apart
of it, At this time this campaign has not gone live yet. We are still
organizing everything, but we just wanted to give you a heads up on what to
expect in the near future and to start spreading the word. It's never too early
to start hyping something. Tell anyone that you think will interested in
supporting. Also let us know any feedback you are getting.
As our
initial collaboration on this project we have a question for you besides hyping
this:
What
exclusive item would you like to see available in our pledgemusic project?
Signed CD's, Skype Sessions, Handwritten Lyric Sheet, Name in Liner notes,
signed tour banner etc...? We have already come up with about 20 and their
price points, but we would love to hear from you. Your opinion will help so
much. Think outside the box it can be anything. In addition, to the new music
what else would you really want to purchase?
Thank you
so much for supporting us! The foundation to every great band are amazing fans.
We couldn't ask for anything more.
Peace, Love
Swag N Roll,
Blackey,
Carly, Squeeze, Spydyr & Beatz
