Press Release #2

The Easton Ellises’ "crowdfunding" campaign successful!
For immediate release

Montreal, May 10, 2012

On April 1 of this year, The Easton Ellises launched a 30 day internet fundraising campaign- aka "crowdfunding".  Thanks to their engaged fan base they managed to raise 105% of the money needed for the production of t-shirts, CDs and vinyl records.

60 days ago, they put all the “Dance it, Dance all” parts (everything you need to make a remix) up on the web hoping to find some artists willing to remix it.  Over thirty remixers from all around the globe have answered the call – their remixes reflect the musical diversity of all these different cultures.

The best six remixes are going to be on pressed on the vinyl record, which will highlight the release of the 10th single from the band.  The Easton Ellises are currently preparing for the official Dance it Dance all launch party which will take place on May 17th in an undisclosed location on Montreal's infamous plateau.  Reminiscent of  “rave” parties of a few years ago,  the location will be revealed to those invited only 24 hours in advance.

Communiqué de presse no.2

Campagne de financement "crowdfunding" des Easton Ellises réussie !

Pour diffusion immédiate

Montréal, le 8 mai 2012


Le 1er avril dernier, les Easton Ellises lançaient une campagne de financement internet de type "crowdfunding".  Grâce à leurs fans, ils ont ainsi amassé l'argent nécessaire à la production de t-shirts, CDs et disques vinyles.  Au total, plus de 105% du montant nécessaire a été récolté pendant les 30 jours de la campagne.

Après la diffusion sur le web de toutes les parties de la chanson Dance It, Dance All, une trentaine de remixeurs de partout à travers le monde ont répondu à l'appel et les remix produits reflètent la diversité musicale de toutes ces cultures. Seulement six d’entre eux ont été sélectionnés pour se retrouver sur le disque vinyle qui soulignera la sortie de ce 10e single du groupe.

Les Easton Ellises préparent actuellement le lancement de ce disque, qui aura lieu le 17 mai prochain dans un endroit tenu secret. Un peu à la façon des partys rave d'il y a quelques années, l'endroit ne sera dévoilé que 48 heures à l'avance.
