All the cool kids nowadays are crowd funding music projects; earlier this year, we saw Amanda Palmer do it and The Venetia Fair do it, and now indie rockers Of Montreal are doing it, too. Of Montreal is different, however, in that they are not funding an album nor a tour; they are instead trying to make a feature length documentary to be released on DVD.
The DVD, called Song Dynasties, is to be a complete history of the Elephant 6 group. Truthfully, I’d watch the documentary, and with some of the goods, I’m considering buying a super expensive package (guest listed meet and greet with Kevin Barnes? The nerd in me is melting somewhere, I swear). There’s plenty of different levels of support to go around for everyone; you can visit the Kickstarter page here.
