the plan
For us, OVERCAST SOUND has been a labour of love, we've enjoyed the creative outlet for our ideas, performing our music, and talking with like minded people (both fans and other artists). It has continued to grow and evolve these past years beyond our original expectations. So, we feel it's time for new plans, new directions and taking things to new levels. Part of this renewed effort includes visiting Europe for three months in the Spring 2010.
We will be based in Berlin - a city with a vibrant art and music community - a perfect place to immerse ourselves. The hope is that spending time surrounded with the many other artists will help focus our sound, the opportunities to play in a wide variety venues will hone our performance, and living aboard will fuel our creativity. It may seem like a long way to go, but Berlin has established itself as the captial of "techno", with a large number of international artists establishing a new homebase there. We plan to engage deeply in this environment.
giving
It is our hope that you could support us, and appreciative of any amount that you can give to help us get where we want to be. Our target is to raise $1,000 by March 1, 2010. You can help us by donating money through the PayPal option.
Or, if you are more comfortable you can meet with us in person, or send a cheque or money order to:
1882 Carnarvon Street
Victoria, BC.
V8R 2T8
CANADA
Cheques or Money orders should be made out to either Michael Pettit or Jamie Drouin
The money raised will go to help us travel to Berlin and with the basic living expenses once we are there.
giving back
We are truly thankful that you would be willing to help us make this next step in our journey. As part of our thanks we will be creating a special digital package containing the compositions created during and inspired by this time, plus original photography and videos (and whatever else we can think of). After we have returned to Victoria, we will make this package available exclusively to those that donated to our trip.
