UPDATE: Reggae 69 Sweetens The Deal!
Do you like vintage Reggae and Ska? Do you love the soulful sounds of the LA Reggae scene- bands like The Aggrolites and The Bullets? Do you long for the old days of mail-order music and record clubs? Well, you need to get hip to the Reggae 69 Fan Club…
“The Reggae 69 Fan Club needs your support though if it is to succeed. We’ve lined up some great bands who you know of already – bands that love and bleed for what they do everyday. We’d like to help get some new music out for them – the real vintage reggae lovers – for the DJ’s out there and the fans.”
Right now, the fan club is just a dream- but it’s taking shape and building momentum every day. Jason Lawless and the guys that brought you the Dancing Mood Network of websites came up with the idea to start this fan club that will be releasing 7″ vinyl, CD and digital releases- but this is a big undertaking and it needs a little bit of a kick start-
Enter, Kickstarter.com- It’s a web service that helps launch creative projects by letting it’s users state goals while raising funds. The best part is that the prospective donors don’t spend a dime until the project actually launches- a kind of all-or-nothing approach to funding. What that means is that you can pledge your intent to join the Reggae 69 Fan Club with zero risk.
If the Fan Club gets off the ground, you’ll be a founding member with exclusive gifts- the more you pledge, the more exclusives could be coming your way. And if the Kickstarter goal is not met, no money changes hands.
Learn more about the Reggae 69 Fan Club, the various membership levels and more at the Reggae 69 Kickstarter Page.
UPDATE: The first campaign has come and gone. With less than $600 to go, I was really hoping for some well-to-do ska maniac to swoop in and make Reggae 69 happen- sadly, this is not what happened. But all is not lost! Reggae 69 has regrouped, and they’re at it again. The NEW Kickstarter campaign has even better incentives- including, what I believe to be the BEST deal in recent memory:
For a $15 pledge, you get an exclusive reprint of the highly sought after, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by LA’s Ocean 11. This CD is the epitome of Neo-Trad Ska, a masterpiece full of dancy ska hits, authentic instrumentals and serious dub grooves. If you’ve ever seen this CD on ebay, you’ll know what a deal this is!
