Podpořte vydání nového alba Fly Tomorrow!

For English version click here

„Ta energie prostě musí ven!“ řekli jsme si asi před třemi lety a hledali možnosti, jak předat posluchačům to, co se v nás už delší dobu „ukládalo“: Skvělou sbírku devíti písní, které jsou nabité pestrou škálou emocí. Písně o znovu nalézané a nalezené radosti, vyrovnávání se s bolestí ztráty, o naději a vůli jít dál, zkrátka o životě. Písně, které si budete zpívat. Skladby, které si budete pouštět, když se budete chtít nabít energií nebo když vám bude smutno. Rockové pecky a balady.

Chtěli jsme vydat album, které bude nahrané ve studiu, ale uchová si zároveň nevyumělkovanou a autentickou atmosféru živého koncertu. Měl to být finančně úsporný a časově nenáročný projekt…

Dnes už víme, že to byla naivní představa: přicházely nápady, jak skladby oživit, přidávali jsme nové nástroje a hlasy. Projekt se zkomplikoval, a hlavně se, kvůli technickým problémům a nečekaným výdajům v kapele, finančně a časově extrémně natáhl. A podle všeho by se časově natahoval dál a dál, protože kapele se postupně rozkutálely peníze, které vyděláváme svou hudbou, a které jsme museli investovat do obnovy zchátralého vybavení pro živé hraní.

Jak jsme na tom teď? V době spuštění této kampaně je již album připraveno k vydání, k jeho výrobě však chybí prostředky. 

První vlaštovky si poslechněte už teď!

aneb: nekupujte kočku v pytli!

• Videoklip Hard Blues (vydaný v roce 2023)

Zajímavost: videoklip, stejně jako album, jsme natáčeli v prostorech studia, které bylo dříve velkým protiatomovým krytem.

OUR PROJECT

“We’ve got to release this energy!” we said to ourselves about three years ago, and then looked for ways how to transfer to our audience what has been inside us for some time: A great collection of nine songs, charged with the full scale of emotions. Songs about newfound and already discovered joys, coping with the pain of loss, of hope and the will to go on… in short, about life itself. Songs you’ll sing along to. Songs you’ll play when you need a quick energy boost or when you’re feeling sad. Rockers and ballads.

We wanted to put out a studio album which keeps the raw, unadulterated and authentic atmosphere of our live concerts. It was supposed to be a low-budget, quick project…

Now we know how naive we were: we kept getting new ideas how to enliven the songs, adding new instruments and vocals. The project got more complex, mainly for technical reasons, putting a toll on the group in terms of unexpected demands on our time and money. Because it was so time- and money-consuming, the group gradually ran out of the money we make from our music – which we also had to invest into new equipment to replace our rundown gear for live shows. 

Where are we now? At the time this campaign was started, the album is ready for release… except we lack the money to do so.

The first sneak previews can be heard now!

„Don’t buy a cat in a bag!“

• Mix of short samples of all songs (video)

• Hard Blues music video (released 2023)

Interesting fact: we shot the music video  (as well as the album) in the studio, which used to be a large nuclear bomb shelter.  

• Move On single (also on the album)
• Hard Blues single (also on the album)

WHO’S BEHIND THE PROJECT?

Fly Tomorrow is a group of enthusiasts who make their own music for the pleasure of themselves and their fans. We’re inspired by many genres, but our sound is probably closest to classic rock.

We’ve had the honor to be the first group to record in the newly-built Sigmaphon studio in Lutín. The studio, located in a former bomb shelter, not only has a special atmosphere but also combines the best of analog sound and digital technology. For example, we played on an original 1970s Hammond organ and used classic analog plate and spring reverbs.

Who’s on the FIRESTARTER album?

Group members, songwriters:

• Daniel Agnew – vocals, cigar box guitar, electric guitar, harmonica
• Matouš Groot – electric guitar, acoustic guitar
• Kateřina Janošíková – keyboards
• Filip Pospíšil – percussion
• Tomáš Janský – bass guitar

Guests:

• Dita Kozelková, Anna Kozelková – vocals
• Edmund Kenning – violin, viola

• Mix, studio recording: Martin “Hopi” Hopjan
• Mastering: Jakub Mečkovský

You can learn all about the group at www.flytomorrow.cz – find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify.

WHAT WILL THE DONATIONS BE USED FOR?

First and foremost, we’d like to pay our friends from the studio, Martin and Kuba, fairly for such great work. The recording and mastering took more time than we had initially planned.

And then there are material costs for the CDs, but mostly for the vinyl records. We went back and forth as to whether we should press vinyl records, but not to have such great music on vinyl would be a real shame! So perhaps with your help, we can raise the money to do so.

Friends, we believe that with your help, we can bring our ambitious project to fruition! And if we’re not able to raise the full amount of our goal, our plan is first to cover the studio fees, then the CD, t-shirts and songbook costs. We’d have to put off the vinyl. ☹

HOW TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT?

By:

• ordering the FIRESTARTER album, in digital, CD, or LP form
• ordering our earlier CD, songbook, t-shirts, etc. (see „VYBERTE SI ODMĚNU“ on the top of this page)
• direct donation – financial support to cover expenses
• sponsor’s donation – we’ll publish your logo or company name on the web and print them on the album
• hosting a concert, the proceeds going into the group’s account
• promoting, spreading and sharing information about this project – your recommendation to your group(s) of friends and family can really help

You can prepay for our new album – in digital form, CD or vinyl. With every preorder (digi, CD, vinyl), you’ll get to download two extra songs as a bonus: the song In Your Eyes, and Adame, sorry (with Czech lyrics), which we left off the album  – they will only be available as a bonus to this crowdfunding campaign (a unique opportunity for collectors and true fans!)

EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTS US BY ORDERING THE NEW ALBUM WILL GET TWO BONUS TRACKS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE OTHERWISE.

And in addition to the album itself, we have other gifts for you: our 2018 CD, a songbook, a beautfiul t-shirt, events….
