Irish post-grunge lads I Am Not Lefthanded who we reported a while back were selling credits on the album and bonus’s in order to raise the necessary money for them to record a full length album has been a complete success.
They said $10,000 was the aim and just after coming back from a 5 week tour in the US they have the good news to announce that they have hit the target and it will finance the recording of their debut full length album with the aim to release it early next year. The quirky and fun fundraising idea’s allowing pre-order of the album, buying shares in the album and even donating enough that they band will play a private party for you and your friends or star in one of the videos or play on one of the tracks. So much on offer depending on how much you want to support them.
€50 / $75 buys you 1 share in the album which gives you €0.01 / $0.015 per album sale meaning 5000 album sales means you get your investment back. The donation chance will stay open until November 4th incase you want to get involved and you can find where to donate here -> www.iamnotlefthanded.com/slicethepie.html
To celebrate reaching the target the band are giving away a free download of their track ‘Lifelines’ from their recent EP Time To Leave. You can download that here ->iamnotlefthanded.bandcamp.com/track/lifelines
