Black Moth Super Rainbow Make Great Use of Kickstarter

It’s been four years since Kickstarter first launched their equity crowd-funding program for creative projects and it’s aided in some wonderful things for artists and fans alike. Some are successful in meeting their desired quotas whereas some fall short by a long-shot and realize their fans may not like them very much or that they should focus on appealing to a richer fan base.

Experimental outfit Black Moth Super Rainbow fall into the first category. The band recently announced their fifth studio album Cobra Juicy which is hoped to have a release in October of this year. BMSR originally set a Kickstarter goal at a whopping $45,000 to help fund the album and some goodies for fans. Since then, the band have accumulated 823 supporters (backers) and have raised an incredible $58,518! A lot of people may be reading this and wondering, “Why the fuck does a band need that much to record an album?! A band I’ve never heard of no less!” Well, I’d have the same sentiments initially but at the same time, I kind of don’t care. They managed it, so good for them.

The offered packages on their Kickstarter page are actually pretty damn cool and if I had the money, I’d probably contribute just to go on a haunted getaway or to get a lot of the awesome merch they’re offering. Keep in mind that a lot of this money will go directly into creating these items and experiences for fans.
