Crowdfunding para el nuevo disco de Thinking Plague

[edumalavida]

Los norteamericanos Thinking Plague se han sumado a la iniciativa de tantos otros grupos para poder deshacerse del control de las productoras con una campaña de crowdfunding de cara a la grabación de su próximo disco, séptimo de la banda, consistente en seis temas -ya compuestos- para una duración total de 45 minutos, que saldrá en 2016 y que probablemente llevará por nombre "Hope against hope".

Los detalles -y un vídeo- se pueden ver en su página de kickstarter:

En cuanto a las recompensas, las donaciones son un tanto más elevadas que en otros crowdfunding, ya que no hay opción de precompra por debajo de 75$ (éste, firmado). Incluso en la de 500$ se ofrece la descarga de un dvd de 1987, inédito hasta el momento. Si no me equivoco, esta campaña está dirigida a pedir ayuda de forma desinteresada a fans más que a preventas.

En cualquier caso, estupendas noticias

Nuevas noticias de la mano de Mike Johnson, buenas y malas: las "malas", que la salida del disco se pospone hasta enero de 2017; las buenas, que Hamster Theater también están grabando disco

Hello dear supporters,

Sorry for the long silence.  We've been very busy with rehearsals, performances, recording and...life.  And our 'sister' band Hamster Theatre is also working on a new album.

Meanwhile, our tracks are sounding GREAT, and we think that the album is going to sound amazing.  However, we have encountered some unexpected difficulties with scheduling and production.  For instance: our singer/keybaordist Elaine has started a fulltime graduate music program at the U. of North Texas!...and is planning to plough on through without breaks until she's done!  She has more parts to record, and it's a challenge overcoming the distance and time issues.  And we've had other issues that have held us up.   In order to release the CD in the fall, as we'd hoped, we would have to have everything, including mixing, artwork, etc., completed by May.  And, well....Sadly, it just isn't going to happen. 

As a result, we'll have to wait until the next release "window", meaning that we'll submit everything by September, and that means the CD won't come out until January 2017.  Sorry!  We're know it's very disappointing (WE are really disappointed), but it's for the best.  But the album will be better for having been delayed.  And we PROMISE: No more delays.

Thank you for you patience.

Mike and the Plague
