We love Kickstarter. Seriously. It’s such a simple idea that it’s brilliant. Easy to use, easy to chip in and support the bands you love, and great for bands to raise money up front for projects rather than going in the hole and hoping to recoup their losses. After all, it’s much easier to get your fans excited about paying for an album as your making it than after it’s release and they can download it for free. Maybe? Either way, Kickstarter is awesome and it works. Just look at Shearwater’s crazy dossier thing! Now Bill Baird and Sunset are getting in on the action, because if it’s one thing Bill Baird does well, it’s DIY. He’s recorded his next album already, because it’s been all of like four months or something since his last, and he needs his fans to help him raise some funds to get it out. Called Love Shines But the Moon is Shining Too, the band is hoping to put it out in double vinyl, and Baird has some cool offers for you if want to front him some cash. Of course, that’s what the guy on the street corner told us, too, but Baird seems sincere in his video plea - which is hilarious, and you should watch right now. Also, while you’re there, go ahead and throw him some money! Help Kickstart Sunset here.
