Three days into the Crowdfunder and we’re already over half way to the total! Thanks to everyone for their support so far…
As mentioned, we’ll be bringing new rewards throughout the Crowdfunder period and here’s the first one: ASK DAVE! Hurry though as there’s only 20 up for grabs.
So you can ask Mr Fenton anything you like, nothing is too daft! In return you’ll receive a personal video message from the man himself, Mr David Fenton thanking you for your contribution and answering your question.
Ever wanted to know how many stripey shirts he owns? Or just what IS in that shed at the back of the garden we keep seeing pictures of? Well now’s your chance!
***We reserve the right to refuse inappropriate questions (in which case your contribution will be returned). Please ensure you use a valid email when donating so that we can contact you to find out what you want to ask! Also note that you’re very welcome to ask “What is the song XXX all about?” but you’ll probably get the answer “whatever you want it to be about”. You can have that answer on us Offer runs until 8.00pm.UK time Sunday 11th August, or until all 20 rewards have sold, whichever is sooner***
So the link to the Crowdfunder page for the band’s fourth is now live here
There’s a full range of rewards, from £20 upwards, so have a look around and thanks again for your support as we work together to make that fourth album a reality.
Keep checking here and the Crowdfunder site too as we will have updates, progress reports, exclusive offers and more…
Many of you are aware of the possibility of a fourth Vapors album. Indeed, we’ve already had some very kind and encouraging comments about the prospect.
Well, the good news is we’ve got some incredible songs that we believe will help make that possibility become reality, and we’d like to make that happen early in 2025.
However, songs are not enough in the modern world of Taylor Swift, corporate deals that dismiss the majority of working bands, and those ubiquitous streaming platforms.
We continue to be amazed by the love, support, respect and friendship that we receive from our fan family around the world, so we’re asking you directly whether you would be open to the idea of helping contribute towards the five-figure sum that would be needed to record, produce, master, manufacture, distribute and market such a record. We’d like to provide vinyl, CD and digital formats and we want to make each one perfect. To be open, we are looking at Crowdfunding to help with the significant costs we will incur to get the album out there. In return, we’re planning a wide range of rewards, to suit every pocket, for fans to purchase and the proceeds will all be put towards making our fourth album.
So let us know how you feel about this idea? Please feel free to comment on our Facebook post or, if you’d prefer to do so offline, please send an email to: vaporsnumber4@outlook.com
We’re not seeking donations or pledges just yet, just trying to gauge how people would feel about the idea. We’ll decide upon our next steps based on the general response, so stay tuned for an announcement next week. Thanks for reading, and love always, The Vapors
