Beware or Bee Tricks!

<p> It's been a few months we released (digitally) our mini-EP titled "<a href="http://www.deezer.com/album/7561719" target="_blank">Bee Tricks</a>" :-), you can listen here on <a href="http://www.deezer.com/album/7561719" target="_blank">Deezer</a>, amongst other sites.</p> <p>  </p> <p> After playing a few shows and based on the fans' feedback and demand, it is now clear we need to <strong>go a step further</strong> and do more than only digital releases....so let's go!</p> <p>  </p> <p> But wait, what is <strong>Bee Tricks</strong>?</p> <p> Since the band is composed of only 3 members it will be quick:</p> <p> Arnaud Boyer (Tara King th.), Jean-Marc Junca (Virago), Josselin Varengo (Slow Joe &amp; The Ginger Accident).</p> <p> In terms of musical genre, let's quote the band Speed Buggy USA who said about us: "you have the sound and features of indie garage rock bands from Southern California"...so can we say we play "<strong>indie garage rock from Southern California Made In France</strong>"?</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="10259099_10154099707215301_713107978829832706_o-1408101961" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/113384/10259099_10154099707215301_713107978829832706_o-1408101961.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u>But let's come back to the main topic</u>:</p> <p>  </p> <p> We plan to release first a new <strong>EP</strong>, including a song featuring <strong>Brisa Roché</strong>, a very talented american singer.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The Single and EP will come along a <strong>Music Video</strong>, we will shoot a video, probably from an acoustic session...</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Bt9-1408363848" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/113667/BT9-1408363848.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Last but not least, we love vinyl and vintage stuff, so we've decided to release <strong>a small serie of vinyl records </strong>(to be released right after the Music Video, in November if everything goes well) for selling at shows and eventually pitch physical distributors.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Finally, for keeping things organized and hopefully get some serious attention on our music we are planning to hire a <strong>PR agency</strong> for helping us spread the word.</p> <p>  </p> <p> So feel free to support us and we'll give you some nice rewards ;-)</p> <p>  </p> <p> And don't forget...<strong>Beware or Bee Tricks!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Img_5936-1408101873" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/113383/IMG_5936-1408101873.JPG"></p> <p>  </p>

Allocation of funds

<p> We initially considered flying away to South America with the money, but after thinking twice, we'd better invest in our project...</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Img_7506-1408102014" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/113385/IMG_7506-1408102014.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> The funds will be spent on all the items described above, and some small additional bits, check it out:</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Music Video production</strong>: 1500 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Manufacturing 500 vinyl records:</strong> 1500 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>SDRM (Mechanical royalties):</strong> 400 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Artwork design:</strong> 500 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Travel expenses to go to Denain (North of France) for our show on 23 Jan 2015:</strong> 500 Euros (for those who know France's geography, Denain is far far away from Valence!)</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>PR campaign: </strong>3500 Euros</p> <p>  </p> <p> And we did not take into account all the expenses already covered for recording, mastering...etc.!</p> <p>  </p> <p> Let's end this on a funny note with a "stolen moment' from one of our shows:</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F1zgEg-CG9lc%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1zgEg-CG9lc&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F1zgEg-CG9lc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p>
