WHAT WE'RE DOING
Crystal Theatre is meant to be played on an old record player in a dark room where the picture painted is of a journey through small towns and deserted roadways. We want to present Crystal Theatre in a deluxe double gatefold sleeve on 180gsm vinyl and you can be a part of the creation.
WHY WE'RE DOING IT
We are a band that gets caught in the mystery and nostalgia of places. When we wrote Crystal Theatre we were thinking of driving great distances through places unfamiliar yet recognisable, of isolation and desolation, of feeling trapped in a lonely town and escaping along vast highways. We were thinking about American films like Easy Rider, Badlands and Vanishing Point while dreaming about dwindling small-town Australia with its proud and deserted main streets, broken-down cars and creek beds lined with Ghost Gums. We imagined these towns and all the different characters that give those towns life. We hoped people would listen to Crystal Theatre on old record players or in junky car stereos. However we don't make music in a time that generally respects those mediums as much as we used to. To put music on vinyl is expensive and, frankly, not sustainable on smaller scales and so our intentions had to change slightly and while we agree the music would still be able to tell the same stories, the mechanisms for delivery would have to be compromised. And so we released Crystal Theatre on CD and also digitally through places like iTunes and eMusic.
We've spent most of 2011 touring and the one request we've had consistently is for Crystal Theatre to be made available on vinyl. It seems that you, our audience, would prefer wax just like we would. And so we are planning one large Christmas present for you, for us and for anyone else who finds their way to Crystal Theatre. We are going to print a limited number of records and finally present Crystal Theatre as it was intended to be.
We can't do this alone. We need your help and if contribute you shall be rewarded. We have lots of incredible incentives including hand drawn images, all of our back catalogue, private performances, original songs and of course, Crystal Theatre printed on 180 GSM vinyl, presented in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with artwork by Sonny and Biddy at We Buy Your Kids.
SPECIFICALLY
500 copies (which is the minimum order)
Double gatefold deluxe packaging
Printed on 180gsm vinyl (thick, beautiful wax that will last)
