Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

There are various issues that affect us financially when we are home and may be issues to face while on the road too. Some times guitar chords break or amps blow out. Gasoline for transportation can be expensive as well and sometimes a tire may blow out or engine problems may occur while on the road.....

These issues have held us back here at home and have prevented us from touring beyond California due to individual financial constraints.

We are not backed by a record label, but we have had the determination to do things our selves to move forward. We have paid for our own recordings, paid to have our CD pressed too, which are very pricy.

We understand that touring is risky business and we will need to put our employment on stand by and be away from our families in order for us to tour in Japan.

A tour manager will need to be hired to book shows and come up with a tour schedule. Food and Lodging expenses will need to be taken into consideration. Sometimes promoters do not pay bands and take off with promised money, so having back up funds will be important.

Transportation and gas to each tour date. All these factors need to be taken into consideration for a successful tour whether it be in the U.S, Japan, or anywhere else in the world.

Being in a foreign country is a challenge due to language translation. An translator may be needed to be hired to travel with us.

We understand the risks, hardships and struggles bands go through and we are confident we will overcome any that may arise and move forward positively.
