Studio!

Hey Friends!

Yesterday we went into White Lake Studios to begin the recording process for our new album! We’re working with Alan Evans (Soulive) on this one, and things are going great! Alan has been adding some well needed “magic” to these songs and we are super excited to show them to you! He even laid down some “Wah Wah Watson” guitar tracks on our album! There will be some great photos and video footage released after we finish up.

We have already invested a great deal into this new adventure. We are asking for help from our fans on this one and have a kickstarter campaign going. There are only 2 days left to reach our goal. We would really appreciate it if you could click the link below and donate and SHARE this with everyone you know. Thank you all so much — we can’t do this without you!

Recording a new album…

Posted on by

We are going in to White Lake Studios in 3 weeks to record our next album — Alan Evans (Soulive) is producing it too! We’re very excited to see what happens with our music through this process.

We are asking for your help in funding this one due to the overall investment it is going to take. You can go to this link to see a BRAND NEW music video as well as an interview with the band talking about the new project.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1228752204/recording-an-album-with-the-chronicles-a-vinyl-exp

We are on a funding deadline with Kickstarter. How it works is you donate whatever amount you like (there are a bunch of rewards), and it is added towards the goal. If the goal is met by the deadline (July 19), the band receives the funding. If the goal is not met, everyone is reimbursed and the band does not receive funding.

So please tell everyone you know and let us know what you think!

Thank you all so much for your continued support.
