After two years of gigs and general divilment we think it's high time St. Simeon and the Stylites put together their first E.P.
For those not in the know here's a brief bio of the band:
When Roger arrived in Falcarragh, North-Donegal, he found a couple of like minded souls with a fondness for the strange and quirky end of the musical spectrum. St. Simeon and the Stylites were born. After a year of local gigging, Ben and Roger returned to college promising to keep the Stylites alive. (Shout out to our original drummer during this period: Marc Grady aka Alypius Stylite!)
An exciting 2015 saw the addition of Eoin Hough and Dan Crowe (keys and drums respectively). Hence, with renewed Stylitic fervour, we cracked on with a mini-tour of festivals and music venues over the summer which culminated in an appearance at the Cork Jazz fest!
Now time has flown and 2016 is upon us. Thus far, we've been getting away with just a few rough recordings and goofy videos. So, after two and a half years of gallivanting, it's high time St. Simeon and the Stylites released some properly recorded tunes! So, please support our Fundit campaign
Here's a breakdown of what we'll use the money for:
We've a studio in mind that'll do us a deal for €600. E.P printing with a nice sleeve we've priced at €300. For the artwork, posters, flyers and merchandise we've budgeted (in cottage industry fashion) €200. Finally the rest will be on postage and creation of rewards for our funders .
