We are an independent 7-piece band inspired by soul, blues & jazz and we're asking for your help to bring our debut album to life!
If feelgood soul, stompin' blues, cool jazz, powerhouse female vocals and original songwriting are your bag then read on...
We have been working hard together as a band for 6 years now playing gigs and festivals up and down the country. We have self-released an EP and a handful of singles, but we now have more than enough original material for a full album. We hope this album will help us to break through to a wider audience and to play bigger and better shows for our current fans. We are currently 100% independent, meaning we have no support from a label, management or booking agency. We do all this ourselves. While this happily means we retain creative control and are able to connect on a personal level with our fans and supporters, it also means we sometimes need some grassroots action to help make big things happen!
WHERE WILL YOUR MONEY GO?
£4000 is our target and this will contribute to -
- Recording costs (time in the studio, paying an engineer/producer, mixing/mastering the album).
- Designing, pressing and printing hard copies of the finished album.
- Launching the album, PR, single releases etc...
As explained in the video above, we could do this cheaper but we're going for quality here and don't see the point in cutting corners as we really believe in this album. We have already invested our own money and will continue to do so, so we're not asking you to do cough up all the dough. We have so far finished recording, mixing and mastering two of the album tracks and shot a music video for a single release in December.
WHAT WILL YOU GET IN RETURN?
We're not asking for something for nothing! Every pledge gets a reward of some kind, from simply pre-ordering your copy of the album to VIP launch tickets or booking the full band to play at an event of your choice. Whatever your budget and level of interest, we hope we have something for you. Some rewards even give you the chance to be involved in the album whether that means appearing in a music video, or having your name printed in the liner notes (EVERY backer who spends £10 or more will have their name in the liner notes!). We promise to keep in touch with you throughout the recording and release process with exclusive content (pictures, videos, teasers etc) that will only be available to our backers...and you will also get an advanced release, so you will hear the album first.
We are so excited about the material and can't wait to get stuck in...it's going to be a lot of hard work and fun. We're delighted to have as many of you along for the ride as possible!
If we've ever entertained you at a gig, festival or party...
If one of our songs has ever made you smile or moved you...
If you'd like to support great music that is independent and original...
Please do pledge now, and help us spread the word by sharing (use the hashtag #vktt if you're social-media savvy!)...
THANK YOU!!!
