Flip Grater Launches Crowd Funding Campaign For New Album
A decision to record her next album in Paris has been an exciting and challenging endeavour for Kiwi singer-songwriter
Flip Grater.
“I moved here knowing no one and had to find a whole new band to work with, a studio and a producer. It’s been difficult
but an amazing experience and I’ve loved it. Now I’ve just got to figure out how to pay everyone!”
It’s been a dream come true for the indie-folk artist to record overseas but issues such as stolen guitars, little
French language and missing out on several rounds of New Zealand arts funding have made the album a bit of an
against-the-odds achievement. Using some Kiwi charm, a bunch of promises and a lot of faith, Flip has managed to pull
together an incredible band of French musicians and a talented French producer to go into the studio with her in Paris
and record 12 original tracks.
With rough mixes now finished Flip is launching a crowd funding campaign to raise the money to pay for the studio,
musicians, manufacture and promotion of the album.
The campaign will launch on Friday 28th September 2012 through fundraising platform IndieGoGo. Supporters will receive
exclusive perks such as signed pre-release copies of the new album, limited edition artbooks including photographs,
lyrics, stories and recipes and the more generous contributors are even offered a vegetarian meal cooked by Flip Grater
herself and a private concert.
