NICOLE EITNER and The Citizens

Recording of the Third Album

THE PROJECT. Following two CDs that were released in Portugal – “Vampires” in 2007 and “I am You” in 2011 – we are preparing a totally independent production of the third album to be released in 2014. The line up for the album is: Nicole Eitner – vocals, piano, arrangements and producing,  Alexandre Frazão- drums and Miguel Menezes – double bass and vocals. This 3^rd album will be more intricate and full of details. It will comprise 14 new original songs, and enlist João Gomes for programming and synthesiser work.

CROWDFUNDING. In this crowdfunding campaign we hope to be supported by our fans and friends, and we have prepared rewards for them thoroughly and lovingly. Crowdfunding presents itself as a very appealing option when it comes to international independent publication in several cultural avenues, such as in music, cinema, art, writing, etc. In these campaigns, the audience is actively involved in the process of making the product from start to finish. An exclusive proximity between the fan/ supporter and the artist is created and the fan gets to be a part of the project.

WHAT'S THE MONEY FOR? The funds that will be raised throughout this campaign will help us support the production and distribution costs, including recording in the studio, mixing, mastering, cd manufacture, distribution, video production and promotion. That being said, the amount we're asking for won't be enough to cover all final costs… we really want to make a High Quality production and therefore need all your possible support! One of the main goals with this third album is to develop it internationally.

THE FANS. Throughout this month and a half campaign, we will be in constant touch with all fans and supporters with exclusive reports “in real time” of the progress of the recordings and limited edition rewards on special occasions.  We will communicate through facebook and emails. We need your online clout to help us reach all those who might be interested in supporting us. Without you - the fans - we are nothing, neither here nor on stage. We know that social networks can be an engine helping us have worldwide reach.
