2 Bands, one from California and the other from Australia need your help to get over to Europe with the release of a new album. The tour is taking place during July/August of 2014 and involves over 30 shows in several European countries, including shows in the UK.
In July 2013, we were touring in Europe and had a blast. We decided to meet again in sunny Huntington Beach California and write and record a new album of songs together. We have since then been spending many creative hours in the studio, bringing this new album to life. It has been such a wonderful and inspiring project collaborating together, sharing ideas, stories, music, laughs, mexican food, late nights, more music, wine, and more and more recording. We hope to have the album finished at the end of November and have it ready for release in June 2014. The tour in Europe will be the first time we play as a band together and share all these new songs with you.

How The Funds Will Be Used
The funds raised will help both bands with their travel costs to get to and from Europe and also have the new album pressed and manufactured, looking amazing and ready to share with you all. The costs of the release and the tour is all being funded by ourselves and these expenses can really add up.

Here is a breakdown of how the funds will be used:
Flights (Bobbo, Tracy + Ben): $4500
CD Mastering: $500
CD Pressing + Manufacturing (1000 copies): $1500
Total : $6500

The Challenges
We will take that when it comes. We hope that this funding goal amount will be sufficient to cover all costs our our plane tickets to get there and safely home again. We don't ask for anymore.
Every little donation of support helps. So we are confident that this will be successful.
