Ivan & Alyosha spent much of 2011 on tour as support acts for a variety of different artists, including Aimee Mann and Brandi Carlile. In April, they will return to the road to support Rosie Thomas along the West Coast. In the meantime, however, they’ve launched a campaign through PledgeMusic to help fund the recording and production of their upcoming full-length debut album.
Here’s what the band has to say about the project:
"After 2 EP’s, we are very proud to announce that our debut album will be coming out very soon! Rather than hide away for months and wait to put it in your hands, we want to get you, the fan, involved in the album making process. We’ve teamed up with PledgeMusic to make this happen. Not only will you get to be a part of our world, you’ll help us fund the record and donate to a worthy cause, too!
Once you pledge, you get instant access to a pledge-only part of the site. Here, we’ll pull back the curtain and bring you into the world of Ivan & Alyosha! You’ll get demos of the new songs, exclusive streams, never-before-seen videos, pics and so much more from the studio, road and at home. You’ll practically be there with us!
Best of all, a portion of the pledged money (above our target goal) will go to Invisible Children. They’re a great group, and we hope you’ll help us support them.
Come join us as we make our debut album a reality. We promise it’ll be a fun ride!"
