This is a special message from Civil Civic

 In Tippex misc

As you might know, Civil Civic will release their debut album in october 2011 (new single out in July, yeah we can’t wait !).
And they also give you the chance to join a win-win situation : you can already pre-order the LP AND help them raising money to make it.
There is only one place to go for that : http://www.indiegogo.com/CivilCivic

Check the video for explanations, and read that blurb below.
Keep it D.I.Y,

Love

“We at Civil Civic (est.2009) believe that our musical products are amongst the finest to be found anywhere. We are an outstanding independant Australian instrumental ensemble featuring one Aaron Cupples on electric guitar, a Benjamin Green on electric bass and “The Box” on electric drums.

Our goal is nothing less than to produce and self-release the generation-defining ALBUM OF OUR ERA. And to that end we appeal to you to “shell out” some of your hard earned “clams” in order to realise a great vision of lasting importance….

…a Civil (f**king) Civic LP. It could…COULD…just save the world.

All contributions will be funnelled into bedrock necessities like mastering, pressing and shredded coconut.

Not one penny will go to waste.

You have this unique opportunity to involve yourself, personally, in possibly the greatest communal music event since that J.F.A gig in ’86 where you passed out underneath the stage and woke up nine hours later alone, locked inside a shitty punk venue until the staff turned up at 7 and let you out.

Shit. How could you turn that down???

Are you CRAZY???!!!

Seriously, we are now recording and mixing an album that presents our “sound”, our big Civvie “whateveritis”, in a monstrous golden light that stops the heart and burns the soul. So we want to employ a truly great mastering engineer to, like, master this masterpiece, and then we want to go straight BONKERS and press it onto thick, black vinyl, and package it in a weighty, spined cover with fancy printing for the eternal listening pleasure of y’all. Have no doubt, this will be a product of absolute distinction.

How could you not joyfully and lavishly FUND that shit?

Are you CRAZY???!!!

Every contribution towards this vital goal will be rewarded with exclusive, CC approved “awesome stuff!”, like

…advance copies of our new single

…signed garments

…priceless, unique CC memorabilia!!!!

How could you do anything but get BEHIND us on this???

Are you some sort of square?? A narc?? A Trojan horse for the forces of evil????

Are you fucking CRAZY???!!!

Let’s all calm down, this is getting out of hand.

All we really need is for you to face the fact that you WANT a Civil Civic LP, you want it to sound GREAT and you’ve got a few bucks to chip in to make it all happen.

End of story.

Oh, and you rule, by the way. We love the shit out of you.
Stay alive.

Sincerely,
Aaron, Ben, The Box.”
