"HOLLYWOOD" - Debut EP from The Falls

 

 

In the fallout from Valentines Day, The Falls decided that rather than wallowing in self pity they would put their heartbreak to tape. So they pulled out their little tascam 4-track portastudio, which, with all its tape wobbles and noise, aptly captured the fragility of their hearts. These fledgling demo recordings were just the beginning of what will become their debut EP “HOLLYWOOD”.

In the spring of 2011, Simon + Melinda from The Falls will be heading into the studio to record their debut EP “HOLLYWOOD” with producer Tony Buchen. For The Falls, this recording is essential for them to help get their music to radio and reach a wider audience, and take their career to the next level. However, they need your help to raise the funds needed to make this a reality.

 

 

Below is an out line of the budget for recording:

Studio Fee (2 days) - $2100
Recording Session Fees - $8000
Tape Fee - $50
Mastering - $990
Artwork - $1000
Printing for 1000 units - $2200

Total - $ 14,340

 

Their funding goal is only a portion of what is actually required to record and print the EP- so if we are lucky enough to reach $8000 - the fundraising will continue, as it would be wonderful to get as close to the $14000 target as we possibly can!

 

 

How can you help?

Remember, without you, this recording will not exist! Every dollar pledged counts! To help sweeten the deal, The Falls have put together some perks/rewards (on the right) as a small way of thanking you for your support. So, all you have to do is pick a perk!

If you are not in a position to help financially, please help spread the word about this project - Facebook it, tweet it, text it, email it - and help get their music out there! Any help you can offer to assist us in reaching our goal and making this recording possible is appreciated more than words can express.
