The Sheila Divine kick starts a comeback

Without a doubt one of the best bands ever to burst out of the Boston music scene is incredible power pop machine known as The Sheila Divine they've been on the sidelines for a while but now a new album is on the way. and the best part is you can be part of it

here is the press release

Mystery and intrigue used to be the cornerstones of all those fabled recordings from the bands of yesteryear that we loved. The stark imagery and minimal liner notes from Factory Records, My Bloody Valentine spending a million dollars on Loveless, David Fridmann recording Mercury Rev on Cinematic Film, or Sigur Ros recording in an empty in ground pool.

I still look back so fondly on those days recording New Parade. It was an arduous process to create something that I think still holds up today. There was magic in those sessions as we were discovering the studio and learning to write songs for the first time.

Sadly today the value of the long play album as an artistic statement has been diminished due to our always on, consumer driven, unlimited access to culture and music. The curtain has been lifted and the glamor and mystique of rock n roll has been replaced with endless access to the bands we love.

Well it's 2010 and The Sheila Divine has decided to join the party. We want to try and recreate that lightning in a bottle. The original 3 piece line up of Aaron Perrino, Jim Gilbert, and Shawn Sears are teaming up with Brian Charles producer of New Parade to have another go at creating a piece of work that we can be proud of.

Since the age of record labels is over we are looking to our fans and friends to help us fund this exciting new project. In return for your participation and generosity we want to offer many unique experiences, opportunities, and gifts.

Whether you donate a dollar or many more we are excited to share the making of this album with you. We want to stream live feeds, have conversations, and collaborate with the Internet to make something extra special.

Thanks for all the interest and support over the years. We look forward to the months ahead.

What is Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors.

We believe that...

• A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide.
• A large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands.

All-or-nothing funding?
Every Kickstarter project must be fully funded before its time expires or no money changes hands.

Why?

It's less risk for everyone. If you need $5,000, it's tough having $2,000 and a bunch of people expecting you to complete a $5,000 project.

It allows people to test concepts (or conditionally sell stuff) without risk. If you don't receive the support you want, you're not compelled to follow through. This is huge!

It motivates. If people want to see a project come to life, they're going to spread the word.

Everything about this is super Uber exciting to support this awesome project click here
