American rock band Fishbone enjoyed commercial success in the late 1980s and early 1990s in their major-label years, before settling in to a longer-term independent career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they have\u00a0turned to Kickstarter to fund a new album<\/a>, while giving fans an insight into the challenges that have led to that decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFishbone has always been a touring band. That\u2019s where we earn our living, and it\u2019s what we love doing. The reality is: touring is expensive,\u201d they explain in their pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen a tour ends, success looks like this: Everyone gets paid (band + crew \u2014 even when it\u2019s underpaid). Travel and expenses are covered. Vendors get paid. The tour breaks even. That\u2019s a win \u2014 but it also means there\u2019s nothing left to bank for what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being footing the upfront costs for studio time, engineering, mixing and mastering, travel and accommodation, artwork and vinyl\/CD manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence Kickstarter, with a campaign that\u2019s already well on its way to hitting its $36,696 goal to record a new album and upgrade the band\u2019s touring gear. Cookery and guitar lessons with band members on Zoom are among the rewards.<\/p>\n\n
