Following in the trend of getting fans to put their money where their mouths are, Atlanta's Attractive Eighties Women are asking folks to give up the cash to fund their new album. Check out the brilliantly infomercial-tastic video below of the band's lead singer Phoebe Cates asking for your dollars and explaining what awesome prizes you can win after donating. Oh and there is a kitten in there too. Win.
Here's the message from the band:
Dear fans, friends, and family:
We need your help. We are trying to raise $1,000 by July 10 to print the first 500 copies of our new album.
We've
spent the last three months in the studio recording and we're almost
ready to unleash this beast upon an unsuspecting public. Imagine Exile
on Main Street, crossed with Led Zepplin IV, add a dash of Reign in
Blood, and I think you get the picture. CD players and car stereos
across the Southeast will be melting this August, not from the
oppressive summer heat, but from the mind-burning, earth-scorching,
soul-splitting sounds of Attractive Eighties Women!
What
do you get in return for helping us? Well just take a look to your
right and you'll see a list of many fabulous prizes. Donations as small
as $1 help, but as you donate more the rewards get better and better,
and for each one listed you'll get everything listed before it too.
Also, you will only be charged for your donation if we actually meet
our $1,000 goal by our deadline.
We've
spent a lot of time and money on this new album already, because we
love making music and we love you. Without our fans, we'd have no
reason to do this. We feel this is the very best work we've ever
created and we want to share it with the world. We want you to hear
this album. We want you to see the artwork and hold it in your hands.
Please help us make that possible. DONATE TODAY!
xoxo,
Attractive Eighties Women
