Barnkickers Indiegogo

I first ran into the Barnkicker’s music back in 2010.  I have a tendency to invest a lot of myself in music.  The type of bands on That F’ing Monkey are scattered across all sorts of musical genres.  When I discovered the Barnkickers I quickly ordered their CD.  I devoured every track multiple times and went looking for more.  But that one CD was all there was.  I needed more.

 

Now there is a chance for more.  Amanda Boisen of the Barnkickers has started an Indiegogo fundraiser to help produce a new album.  The CD will be released under the name AmandaLynn but her father will still be accompanying her and he is the executive producer of the album.  As with all fundraisers there are tons of different donation levels and lots of neat things to purchase.  The 150 level taunts me in my dreams because I know I can’t afford it.  I’d love to have her father teach me how to play upright bass too, but I have a feeling that would probably take more than one lesson.  I’d probably need to actually own an upright bass too.

Anyway, the video above is Amanda explaining the fundraiser far better than I can.  You can also check out their website for more information.  And if anyone wants to buy the “Cover Band” option for me, the song I want is “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday” from the Muppet Movie.

I listen to music the entire time I’m at work. I have an old 40 Gig classic iPod that is a little more than half full of music. I get teased about how hold it is, but it doesn’t matter, it does what I need it to. Usually I set it to random and then go about my day. Sometimes I’ll single out an artist or album. One of my favorites when work has me stressed out is the Barnkickers.

You can find their album “Up Before Noon” on their website. I can’t recommend it enough.

Barnkickers

The sun was up before I got to close my eyes this morning and even then it was only for an hour before it was time to shower and get to work. Not surprisingly I’ve been dragging pretty badly. Just about half an hour ago, after a bottle of water, a bottle of Mountain Dew, and half a pot of coffee I finally woke up. I think part of it had to do with my musical selection too. If you haven’t heard of them before, it is my pleasure to introduce the Barnkickers too you.






Yeah, just one video should be enough to make you go running for more. Check out their website;  it's http://www.thebarnkickers.com/, go check it outand buy their CD. I did and it is one of my favorites. I’m going to give the whole album another listen and grab another cup of coffee.
