Lime and Steel - Aunt Thally

AU$4,155
of $3,500 targetyrs ago
Successful on 9th May 2016 at 1:59PM.
We're recording a new EP, and we want you to join in!

Maizy and Skye sing lead in all the songs on this EP, while Paddy hangs in the background as a slack-jawed happy banjo picker.

This pozible campaign takes its name from our song about Aunt Thally Grills, a lovely little old lady from Leura who fed her neighbours and in-laws delicious home-baked snacks and tea laced with rat poison.
She's our favourite Blue Mountains serial killer and home-cooking guru.

All our pozible rewards are a little bit home-cooked too: but made with love instead of Thallium...
We'll be gluing our CD covers together around the kitchen table, printing our T-shirts by hand, making shrinky keyrings and  sewing up ridiculously cute soft toys out of performer wristbands from festivals we've played at! 

We also want to shout out a huge thanks to Blue Mountains graphic artist, Nancy Sarno, who has allowed us to use her awesome work as the main image for this project,


Thanks also to Paddy's daughter Billie, who let us use her folky-tubby design.


How The Funds Will Be Used

Making a CD ain't cheap, but we're hoping to cover this much of our EP budget with our pozible campaign...
 
Recording and Mastering      $3000
First run of discs                $300
Printing of CD covers         $200

If we end up raising more than this, we'll cover the cost of promo, maybe a video, and the likelihood that recording costs add up higher than we're hoping for.  If we make even more (ooh, that would be great!), we'll can tip it into the next recording project after this one...

The Challenges

This the the big challenge right here! This is our first ever crowd-funding campaign: We're planning on overcoming nerves with plenty of Sunday cheap-wine craft-ernoons
