Joe and Steve who work at Video Forum on Park Slope’s Seventh Avenue are in a band called Blind Giant. They’ve been writing music together for 5 years now and are ready to record their debut album. But they need your help. And that’s where  Kickstarter comes in.

Kickstarter is an interesting new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. It is based on the notion that a good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide; that a large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

It’s an all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. Read more and find out about Joe and Steve’s project. They’re a couple of terrific guys who work very hard and make Video Forum one of the last great remaining video rental shops.

The money that you donate through kickstarter will cover engineering, recording, mixing, mastering, printing and duplication expenses for Blind Giant’s debut album which they’d like to do without the constraints of a label.

If they exceed their $10,000 goal, they hope to record a few more than an album’s worth of songs. Needless to say Joe and Steve are incredibly excited about these songs and they think they’ve got a “fun and exciting album brewing that anybody can enjoy and we’re offering a lot of cool incentives to anybody who is willing to back the project!”

Check out their Kickstarter page to find out what those incentives are. There are only 23 days to go…
