Misty’s Big Adventure are going the crowdfunding route for producing their next album. It’s a simple deal – pay £8 now, get an album to download later.
There’s also a whole shopping list of extras that you can pick up in exchange for a little more investment, including advance copies of the album on CD, T-shirts, an exclusive performance by the band and Grandmaster Gareth’s soul.
Things seem to be going pretty well so far – they’re up to 53% of their total already.

A quick trawl around a few crowdfunding sites – Pledgebank, Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, Sponsume and WeDidThis – reveals just one more project from around Birmingham that’s asking for your money. I thought there’d be more (tell me if I missed any).
It’s a collaborative project between Birmingham-based Lantern Music and New York-based Cassis who are looking to fund the second part of A Hawk In The Rain. There’s more info about that project on their blog.
there’s also Birmingham’s own crowdfunding site Angel Shares, which is on the cusp of launching their own website.
