Thanks beyond words to everyone who made this possible via our Crowdfunder site.
Further details and all pre-order information to follow in due course.
23rd SEPTEMBER 2024. Probably one of the more memorable dates in the history of our band!
First up, we’ve closed our CrowdFunder after raising a quite incredible £18,196. We’ve run out of superlatives but thanks to each and every one of you. This means so much and we’re blown away by the love out there for The Vapors. We love you all and… THIS IS WHY WE DO IT! This amount guarantees that not only can we release the high quality album that we had envisaged, but also that we can try to bring it to an even larger audience because frankly, it deserves that.
Second… WE’VE FINISHED RECORDING OUR FOURTH ALBUM. We completed the studio sessions today, we’re enormously happy with what’s been achieved, and we can’t wait to bring this to everyone.
We’ll keep you all informed about how things are progressing, but most importantly, be ready for March 2025 when, just 45 short years after New Clear Days, there will be a new, fourth, Vapors album available!!
The Crowdfunder for the band’s fourth album closes at 7pm (GMT, Sunday 22nd September) tonight so today is your last chance to grab any of the rewards on offer. We have already exceeded the original target as well as the stretched target so huge thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. The band are still hard at work putting the finishing touches to the recordings in Pennsylvania. The countdown is on, snap up your rewards here before it’s too late…
The band concluded their 10 date US jaunt on Sunday at the Colony in Woodstock. Thanks to everyone who attended any of the gigs and to Rob Juarez, Michael Giblin, Bobby Weiss and the other US crew for their help.
With the shows done, the band can now turn their attention to the recording of their fourth album. You can still contribute to the band’s Crowdfunder here We can’t wait to hear the fruits of their labours…
We just like to pass our heartfelt thanks on to everyone who supported our fourth album Crowdfunder so far. Our initial target of £14,000 has been surpassed and the total is now almost £15k! We’ve now stretched the target slightly to provide a budget for marketing and promotion in the US to give the album the push that we think it merits. Thanks to everyone who has chipped in so far and it’s not too late to make your contribution here
The band played the last of their 6 Lost 80s Live shows on the US west coast last night. Looks like they were a great run of shows in huge venues in front of massive crowds. Cheers to Rob Juarez & the team for the seamless organisation as always. The band now head East for their four headline shows this week. The run kicks off in New Cumberland, PA, then they return for a pair of shows at New York’s Mercury Lounge and a last gig of the tour at Woodstock, NY. Some tickets are available for all four shows so grab them while you can. Links in the left hand gig listing…
Update 4/9- only a handful of tickets left for the New Cumberland show. Be quick…
