Retour sur le lancement de disque

Jeudi, 17 mai 2012. Le jour "J". Ou plutôt le jour "L" pour lancement. Une journée ensoleillée, parfaite pour passer quelques heures dans un parc au soleil avec une coupe de rosé! Mais ce n'était pas dans nos plans. En effet, beaucoup de travail nous attendait (nous y étions habitués, ayant définitivement couru et sué pendant les 3 derniers mois!!!)

Justement, suite à ces 3 mois intenses à tout préparer, coordonner les collaborations avec les remixeurs de partout à travers le monde, préparer et lancer la campagne de financement "crowdfunding" et finalement gérer la production des disques compacts, vinyles et t-shirts, cette journée signifiait beaucoup pour nous. Et nous n'allions pas le regretter!

Nous avons ainsi passé l'après-midi ensoleillé enfermés dans la salle au style gothico-baroque de l'abreuvoir (bar et terrasse) à la lumière tamisée afin de monter la scène, faire les tests de son, empaqueter des disques vinyles et trier les t-shirts par grandeur! Quel travail de fou mais ça a valu la peine.

Cette soirée a dailleurs été une réussite totale! Beaucoup d'articles ont été vendus (souvent payés via PayPal Here, cette nouvelle modalité de paiement à l'essai au canada qui nous été exclusivement fournis par PayPal même!) Et enfin, le spectacle a été intense et bien apprécié!

Merci a tous ceux qui sont venus a cette soirée très spéciale a l'Abreuvoir et un méga Merci à notre soundman: Toutou, notre DJ: Steve Blais aka Steve Aries aka Jester et à notre ami et photographe Charles-Henri Debeur qui as capté la soirée en images.

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.

Fan Funding : Day 18

The campaign is making good progress, we’ve already raised over 1,800.00 $ after two weeks!!!
A-W-E-S-O-M-E !  Fans and friends have been generous, surprised to see how many choose the 99 $ package.

The campaign is still far from being over though, and we still have lots of work to to reach our goal. Kamikaze style baby!

BIG LOVE to all of you that have already put some hard earned money in the machine!!!  

The Campaign Is Launched

Finally, after weeks and weeks of preparation work, countless cups of coffee and sleepless nights, we're kicking off our fan funding campaign today!  Our goal is to collect enough money to finance the costs of producing a 12 inch vinyl record for Dance it, Dance all.

The Dance it, Dance all stems (all the parts you need to make a remix) are free and available online here. You have until April 15th to submit you version if you want to have a chance of making the record.   The best remixes will be pressed on wax!


We created a soundcloud  group where you can submit your works for consideration.


Go CRAZY!

This DANCE IT, DANCE ALL thing is becoming way bigger than we planned, really ! We've already received remixes from all over the world. Spain, Turkey, UK, USA, South Africa, France, Brazil, Malaysia, Serbia and even more.

We have to push back the release date to May because there is still so much to do ! We're talking a vinyl record, crowd funding, and a crazy-ass launch party!

Rooooooooooock oooooooooooooooooooon !
