We’re very excited to announce that today we launch the Check Yo Ponytail Kickstarter for our feature length documentary Get Amongst It: The Story of the First Check Yo Ponytail Tour! This project has been in the works for almost two years and now we need your help to bring it to completion. The movie documents the trials and successes of the first national CYP tour which brought Spank Rock, Big Freedia, Pictureplane, and The Death Set to audiences across the country. The film serves as a case study of what it takes to launch a DIY tour and build a brand in the current music industry landscape.
We’ve set our Kickstarter goal at $35,000 and hope to surpass this in our month long campaign with your help. In return for your pledges, you’ll recieve awesome rewards that include awesome experiences and prizes such as a private DJ lesson with renowned producer Switch, Spank Rock and The Death Set performing LIVE at your house party, free IHEARTCOMIX shows for one year, A-Trak’s Hat, and 12th Planet’s autographed shoes just to name a few. If you’ve been to our legendary flagship series Check Yo Ponytail 2, you understand that it’s “More Than A Show” but an experience synthesizing art, music, visual design and a visceral party vibe that is sensory stimulating. Watch the Get Amongst It teaser trailer and Kickstarter introduction by Franki Chan to understand the importance of this unique documentary.
