Candy Robbers - Record #2

<p> <strong>With your support, our goal is to make a hip, fresh-sounding pop record:</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>1. That you will <em>love</em></strong></p> <p> <strong>2. That will make a BIG SPLASH on the music scene </strong></p> <p> <strong>3. That will land a deal with a top-notch booking agency, so that we can tour extensively through out the world (hopefully, somewhere near <em>you</em>)</strong></p> <p> <strong>4. That will allow us to live off the music we make so that we can ultimately make <em>more</em> music for <em>you!</em> </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> With<strong><em> lots of NEW songs written</em></strong> and <strong><em>2 new band members</em></strong>, <strong>we are ready to record our 2nd 6-track EP as of August this year!</strong> To accomplish this, we need <u>16 days</u> of studio time. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>Will you join us on this adventure?</u></p> <p>  </p> <p> You can support our project now through KissKissBankBank.</p> <p>  </p> <p> --</p> <p>  </p> <p> Here's a quick recap of the last 18 months of Candy Robbers history:</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>In 2013, </strong>with the help of a foundation, our friends and families, we were able to produce <u>independently</u> our 1st EP (released in January 2014) and our 1st music video.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F_g4jpVwdbeE%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_g4jpVwdbeE&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F_g4jpVwdbeE%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>In November 2013, </strong>the music video of our debut single <em>1000 Miles</em> was released, and was among the 13 videos by Belgian artists (such as Balthazar, Robbing Millions, Great Mountain Fire, and Stromae) nominated by Brussels’ CLIP that BEAT music video festival. <em>1000 Miles</em> was well-received and has since cumulated close to 10,000 views on YouTube. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="500" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fw.soundcloud.com%2Fplayer%2F%3Fvisual%3Dtrue%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fapi.soundcloud.com%252Ftracks%252F148164304%26show_artwork%3Dtrue&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fcandyrobbers%2Foscillations&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fa1.sndcdn.com%2Fimages%2Ffb_placeholder.png%3F2aaad5e&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=soundcloud" width="500"></iframe></p> <p> (The tracks <em>Oscillations</em> &amp; <em>Sorry</em> are featured on our 1st EP, also available on Spotify &amp; iTunes.)</p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="500" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fw.soundcloud.com%2Fplayer%2F%3Fvisual%3Dtrue%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fapi.soundcloud.com%252Ftracks%252F112444234%26show_artwork%3Dtrue&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fcandyrobbers%2Fsorry-1&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fa1.sndcdn.com%2Fimages%2Ffb_placeholder.png%3F2aaad5e&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=soundcloud" width="500"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>In January 2014, </strong>following the release of our self-titled debut EP, we were featured in <a href="http://soundofboston.com/local-spotlight-candy-robbers/" target="_blank">Sound of Boston's local spotlight</a>.
