Make a Record

In an effort to make the most of our respective talents, Kim Bird, Maxwell Cantlin, Phil McGowan and Adam Frederick have decided to make a recording of our band, Frederick. Our brief forays into public exposure of our work has been met with an enormous upwelling of support, and desire for more. This, coupled with recent momentum in personal (as well as Portland's geographic) careers in music, has engendered in we four a desire to see this project through to the fullest extent possible. In all of our conversation, research, and observation, it has become very clear that the key that gets you into the 150 story building (no elevator) of the music industry is a recording of high quality.
We all have a firm belief, as do our fans and supporters, that given the proper tools we could have a, at least, sustainable level of success. That is all we ask for.
Our biggest issue is that we are all, primarily, career side people. We make our living playing music for other peoples projects. This is all well and good, but it does not leave a lot of surplus for investment or savings.

That being said, we have come up with an idea for trying to finance the record and promotion of the band, one which we believe is sound, good, just, and fair. We are pre-selling our music.
Any amount of money is appreciated, and will go directly into support of the artwork, not in our pockets.
The breakdown we have devised is as follows;
$7 gets you a digital download of the music
$17 gets you a physical CD, and a Download
$25 gets you a CD and a Frederick T-shirt
Anything over $100, and you will get the above, along with your name on the disc itself.

We have photo shoots coming up, and a mix down recording of our last show will be available for download shortly.

If you have any questions, ideas, or suggustions for us, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Frederick
