Spreading the Electric Love!
We're about to head back to Europe and the UK , November 2014, June 2015 and that will be our Fifth and Sixth trips collectively.
Who would have thought in 2009 doing support gigs in Europe with Whitesnake for $500 a show that we would be planning in 2014 for the next 5 years of Electric Mary.
You are probably reading this and thinking we are mad, but you see along the way good people have been there for us helping in many varied ways, and we've somehow managed flights, hotels, vans, gear, while recording, mastering, doing artwork, doing shows, selling merch, designing merch, and so on and so on.
But hey this is what you do when you are self funded, self managed and self reliant.
The next five years starts today, more tours, more recordings, PR, Radio, Vans, Fans and Master plans.
Crowdfunding seems to be the path bands are taking these days and after watching from the outside and even giving to different causes we find ourselves in the same position of many others.
Rock"n"Roll in 2014 is hard, but we luv it and we definitely believe in it .. we need your help to spread the electric luv
