Hello Friends,
2. Artwork and formatting (album and EP) $1,400
We are MAGIC MOUNTAIN BAND.
We first formed in 2010 and released our debut EP "Over an Ocean Away" soon after. The EP was met with much praise and created many exciting performance opportunities for the band on some of Melbourne's most sort after stages.
Since that time we have been busy gigging, writing, dreaming, saving and expanding our sound to mountainous proportions!!
Upon our return we started the long process of sorting through the hours and hours of recording to bring you the most inspired and powerful work we could. It was a tough, brutal, often unexpected and surprising process but ultimately very rewarding.

We first formed in 2010 and released our debut EP "Over an Ocean Away" soon after. The EP was met with much praise and created many exciting performance opportunities for the band on some of Melbourne's most sort after stages.
Since that time we have been busy gigging, writing, dreaming, saving and expanding our sound to mountainous proportions!!
With this new sound in mind we headed for the country in the winter of 2012 to record our debut album, "WILDERMAN."
The seed of this album was to create music that allows you an escape into the wild, into our primitive nature. To bring an honest and visceral quality to the sound that awakens some hidden passion, truth or awareness. It's not an album concerned with what lies on the surface but a journey through the hidden layers beneath our everyday consciousness.
Upon our return we started the long process of sorting through the hours and hours of recording to bring you the most inspired and powerful work we could. It was a tough, brutal, often unexpected and surprising process but ultimately very rewarding.
During January of 2013 we were back in the studio mixing, this time in Melbourne and in the capable hands of our multitalented bass player/engineer/mixer, Joe Talia.
Which brings us to now and to you ...
During this wonderful adventure into the wild we have dug right to the bottom of our band savings.
With still much to do before release we need your help!

3. Press the album on 12 inch vinyl through Pirates Press (download codes included.) $3,000
Quality has been paramount from the very beginning of MMB. Never before has this been more true than in the production of 'Wilderman" thus far. It's important to us that you have the opportunity to experience this music in all of it's sonic glory. http://www.piratespress.com/cms/
4. Print very limited run of bonus EP through Implant media (cd) $600
We quickly realised during post production that we had much more quality material than can be pressed on a 12 inch record. From this, the idea of a limited edition bonus EP was born. It will be available only one of two ways until they sell out ... Right here though this pozible campaign is your best chance!! Any left over will be sold at our album launch and subsequent gigs. http://implant.com.au/
