by McAll in Stirling, United Kingdom

We did it
On 5th March 2022 we successfully raised £3,680 with 89 supporters in 21 days

Help us get to SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas - the most important industry-facing, career-blooming, music festival in the world.

by McAll in Stirling, United Kingdom

 New stretch target

£2500 is what we need to get us to SXSW. If we get there, we'll for sure make the most of it. Any pennies over this target will go to covering the costs we'll be facing while we're in Texas - Accommodation, Transport, PR costs, Printing costs for our promo materials etc.


We are so grateful to everyone that has supported us on this journey, and you know what, the support that you've given has got us to this amazing point where we’ve been invited to showcase at the most important music festival for bands, SXSW in Texas.

If you don’t know what that is, it’s the biggest thing that could happen to a band at the point where we are. It’s the biggest step we could possibly take... 

But, it’s extremely expensive to get there.

So, what we’re asking is if you would support us one more time. We need your help to get to Texas, to get to that next point in our journey. And we’re asking you, if you can, to support us through this crowdfunder.


The Rewards

Have a look at the rewards we have on offer - for yourself, maybe for that person you never know what to buy for. We're asking you for support, but we're also trying to give you something quality in return. Here are the rewards:

Alice Aries designed new t-shirts and totes for us, which were then lovingly hand-screenprinted in Glasgow on high-quality stock: 1644667809_tees-8.jpg

We're offering the one-off foamex prints that were part of our exhibition at Stirling's Tolbooth gallery:

And some of the rewards are perhaps less tangible. A personal sit-in with our band rehearsal, a house show, a concert at some point in the future. Big ticket items that would really help us, and we'd help you arrange these and make them work for you.

It's doable. And fun. And priced so that you'd easily cover your costs. 

So, there you go. We really need your help to get over to Texas. Thank you for getting us this far. We're dying to see what the next part of this journey together holds.

Thank you!
Constant Follower (McAll, Kurd, Kathleen, Amy, Annie, Dave and Gareth).
