Overview

LET'S MAKE MUSIC
BBP are crowdfunding to bring their new EP to completion.

THE JOURNEY
With two songs finished (and mixed by Auckland-based maestro Nic Manders) this project, which was began aspirationally as an album 18-months past, has been refocused as a 4-track. You might say it's overdue, but life is life... sometimes the madness that is music-making simply has to run its course.

THE SOUND
This EP is soaked in Tommo's 'verb drenched piano sounds, accompanied by rhythmic-guitar playing (both acoustic and electric), and layered with lively drums comparable to Florence and the Machine. The whole sound is uplifted by beds of harmonic backing vocals, and held together by rock-solid bass. All of this for the purpose of championing a strong collection of melodic, catchy, and emotive songs that is this new collection of music. As writers and creators we recognize that we are exploring new boundaries, in continuity with our past, and are stoked with the journey of evolution which we are on.

PROJECT BREAKDOWN
We have two songs finished already, and this crowdfunding campaign is to take the project as a whole over the line. The breakdown of $2500 is:

Two mixes: $1100
Mastering $200
Artwork: $500
Publicity: $450
10% success: $250

YOU & US
We want to say thanks for checking this project out, we're honoured by your interest, and for many of you who have supported and traveled with us over the last decade or so, thank you for dropping in.

If you can't contribute, we will make this music and share it with you and the world, and we can't wait to see you at a gig, chat online, or land on your favourite playlist.

To those of you who are able to give toward making this project a reality, tēnā koutou, thank you. We so appreciate it! Every dollar counts. (Also, if you donate, you will get a receipt from Boosted. As this is a registered charity, you can submit your receipt to the IRD to receive 33% back as a tax-credit.)

We believe that music breathes hope and can be a sustaining force for good in the world, so thank you for helping us be a very small part of a very large conversation.

MAY YOU LIVE CREATIVELY & WITH DEEPENING LOVE

Hey, this is actually kinda fun!

It's been a just over a week since launching this campaign. And you know what, it's been great!

We have been soooo busy the last few years that we have been cautious about taking on big projects. But this little endeavour has already boosted our morale & put a shot of laughter into our collective life. It's put this great colour into our recording sessions the last two weeks... you might say the venture is back in the adventure 😎

Thank you so much to all of you who have supported us, and to those who are considering it. It honestly means a lot to us. We always loved the music but now we're reminded again that we're doing it for YOU.

Until next time. TM
