Like any band, Severed Fifth needs some particular tools for us to make an awesome live experience, a live experience that begins on 1st Oct in Livermore, CA. At the Severed Fifth rehearsal studio in Oakland we have all the drums, guitars, amps, mics, and other elements that we need to rehearse for our live show, but we have struggled when it comes to a PA. The PA is the amp that the vocals and the kick drums go into.

When we started rehearsing, Jim (our guitarist) leant us a PA system he picked up on the cheap for $60 or so ages ago, but it has had a bunch of problems: tweeters not working, not very loud, humming and buzzing sounds, electrical shocks, and tonight it finally died. As such we are without a PA system, and as it slowly died it got quieter and quiter, making it hard for me to sing and I felt myself on the verge of blowing my voice out.

So, we need a new PA. This is where you folks come in: we are going to need your help to generate some money to pay for the PA system. We think we can pick up a decent system for the rehearsal space for $500-$600, and while we have some funds in the Severed Fifth account, we are going to need some more cash to get it. The challenge is: we need it pretty quick, as we have a gig coming up and currently no way of hearing my vocals and Ben’s kick drums at rehearsal.

So, we would like to ask the Severed Fifth community to donate whatever you can afford to help buy us a PA that we can use to rehearse for our live shows and take our Free Culture music out on the road.

Fortunately, donating is simple, anyone with a credit card can do it. To show our thanks, everyone who donates between now and when we generate enough money to buy the PA will be mentioned in a blog entry on severedfifth.com and will be mentioned on one of our Severed Fifth TV shows that I do.
