The Goombas have an offer you can't refuse. The Young Rebel Goombas, that is. Long Island (aka "Strong Island"), New York's favorite Trop Rockers are getting ready to work on a new album, their first in five years. But, as anyone who has ever picked up an instrument with the intention of recording some music knows, studio time = money. And, like a lot of bands, while the Goombas have an over abundance of talent, energy, and new musical ideas, that doesn't always translate to flush bank accounts. So, the Goombas have hatched an interesting, "outside the box" idea for raising some moolah to help cover the costs of their upcoming project: They're reaching out to their fans.
Using the latest web technology and a healthy dose of social networking, YRG have enlisted the help of a site called Kickstarter, which allows them to accept "pledges" - from $1 to $5000 or more. Their goal is to reach $25,000 in pledges from friends and fans by June 7, 2012. In exchange for financial support, donors can receive everything from autographed postcards, t-shirts, and advance copies of the cd, to your name printed in the cd liner notes - even a private concert from members of the band. Here is the link:
The Young Rebel Goombas hope to have the as-yet-untitled album finished by November, just in time for the next Meeting Of The Minds. Be a part of Trop Rock history - and become an honorary Goomba today!
