Kickstarter campaigns are a dime a dozen nowadays with musicians, filmmakers, arts organizations and other groups using the popular fund-raising website to financially assist with various projects.
Unfortunately, not every Kickstarter campaign is successful and there are several reasons for this. Sometimes it’s because an artist or project lacks exposure (not everyone is lucky enough to have the support of artists like Blue Scholars and Macklemore, who raised more than $25K and $10K respectively via Kickstarter). Sometimes it’s because the project or artist isn’t effectively promoting its own Kickstarter efforts and other times, quite frankly, its because project being promoted just isn’t worthwhile.
Enter Fox and the Law, a local garage rock trio that’s trying to raise money to make its first full-length album and the band is using Kickstarter as a way to do so. The group, which is playing a Guerrilla Candy Presents show at the High Dive July 8, has toured and is beginning to make a name for itself locally. Earlier this year Fox and the Law won the Hard Rock Cafe’s battle of the bands tournament and they’ve successfully recorded a four-song EP which has been available for at least a year.
Fox and the Law are currently a few thousand dollars away from their $2,500 Kickstarter goal and the campaign expires on the evening of July 9. Here’s a link to the band’s Kickstarter campaign if you want to check out what goodies they are offering in exchange for your support.
You can give the track “Unbelievable,” off their debut EP, a listen above and as mentioned earlier you can see Fox and the Law live Friday night at the High Dive where you’ll be sure to hear plenty of material that will be released soon — Kickstarter campaign success pending — on their full-length album.
