Mothraband vinyl fundraising campaign.

Here is our fundraising campaign to get our album pressed on vinyl. This is effectively a ‘pre-order’ for the album on vinyl, rather than a general fundraiser with a whole lot of funding options.

Up until now we have funded everything ourselves, including the recording, mixing, production, and mastering of the album. The pressing costs to produce a minimum run of 250 double 12″ LPs, plus shipping costs from the US and duty on top of that isn’t cheap, but with enough pre-orders we can make it happen. Our goal is to get 120 pre-orders, you can also make a small donation to help the cause.

This will be a double 12″ LP, on coloured wax with 8 page colour booklet and gatefold. The cost of each unit is $50 NZ plus shipping, please note the prices are converted to US dollars. The first 20 will be signed and the first 50 will receive a private link to another song off the album while the campaign is underway. Here’s a link to the track we put up a couple of weeks back https://soundcloud.com/mothrasound/escapism Cheers for the support! – Mothra.

Mothra band debut video clip for ‘The Beginning’.

Here it is, our debut music video for ‘The Beginning’. This clip was shot in 4 different countries by our good friend Shaun Leyden. You can check out more of his epic work at mintamatics.com. The track was mixed by Aaron Harris, a member of one of our favourite and most inspiring bands ISIS. We would like to extend an enormous hand of gratitude to both Shaun and Aaron for their exceptional work. We can’t thank you guys enough.

Cheers also to: Rob Christie, Tom Anderson, Lance Powell, Rhamsey, Joost, Rob, Robin, Rene, Jip, Boyd Thwaites, Jamie Whitehouse, Andy Lagan, Billy Goddard, Luke Bradshaw, Mark Howden, and everyone else who helped make this happen.

Mothra band : Support for Russian Circles.

We are pleased to announce we have the privilege to open for Russian Circles, who will be hitting the shores of Aotearoa in a couple of weeks, all the way from Chicago. If you don’t know this band you should, they are amazing. If their last masterpiece Geneva (2009) is anything to go by, then their next album ‘Empros’ scheduled for release in October will push the parameters of experimental instrumental music even further.
