BANDELIERS: destination England for our 2nd EP
Hello everyone, welcome to the page for the financing of our 2nd EP! The Band BANDELIERS is an Indie Rock band founded in Paris in 2019 by Declan and Jeff then joined -a year later- by Malcolm and Fany: 4 musicians with British🇬🇧, American🇺🇸 and French🇫🇷 origins whose meeting generated the hatching of a creative and ambitious project. Our music comes from a mix of influences, it reflects our four personalities and we approach it in a collective, egalitarian way, as a real democracy, in short 😇. The idea is to put forward writing and composing as a four-piece group and to make Declan's suave voice cohabit with melodic riffs, groove, and rhythmic energy. By assembling these elements we come up with a catchy result that shapes our identity. "Marco Polo" 1st EP In 2021, the recording of our 1st EP "Marco Polo" brought us to play regularly on the Parisian scene (Bus Palladium, Supersonic, La Dame de Canton, Le Bateau El Alamein, Le Triton, Le Truskel...), and its good reception was encouraging for us. The flagship track ("Marco Polo") of this first opus, totally self-financed, made us realize that our writing dynamic was working. This positive feedback reinforced our desire to go further and conquer new horizons. to go, to see, to conquer... Our project for the 2nd EP Today the common ambition within the group is to go and look for different and bigger opportunities. We want to confirm the success of our first EP by moving out of our comfort zone both figuratively and literally, by going to record on the other side of the Channel. England has always influenced us and is a strategic place that will give us more international visibility upon our return to France. So we chose a studio (Magic Garden) in Wolverhampton, in the North-West of England, owned by Gavin Monaghan who has worked with Editors, The Sherlocks, The Blinders, Robert Plant... to whom we sent our demos. He has previously worked with Fany and enthusiastically offered to produce our EP. The recording is set to begin on November 14th and will consist of 9 days in the studio, including 6 days of actual track recording and 3 days of mixing. This 2nd EP will include 5 singles (2 of which have already been recorded). The first single "Open Book" was released on September 30, 2022 and will be followed by 3 more singles until the complete release of the EP -including the final song- in spring 2023.
