Orkestra del Sol: Help increase our LUNG CAPACITY!

(You MAY have received this twice - if so we're sorry to trouble you, we had to change the colours because some people could not read it in their email)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

*** Please read this in a silly accent ***

We’d like to tell you about something EXCITING. REALLY EXCITING.

YES, the time has come for us, ORKESTRA DEL SOL, your representatives of bombastic brass, to release a NEW ALBUM! An album BRIMMING with those HONK-STEPPING, OUTRAGEOUS ORKESTRAL TUNES that you KNOW AND LOVE.

MANY OF YOU know us to be a hard-working, INDEPENDENT band, and up to now all our music has been self-released, by us, ourselves, in a do-it-ourself fashion. But THIS TIME we’ve decided to bite the bullet by both horns and do things a little differently. We don’t have one of those BIG BAD RECORD LABELS behind us, so (and this is where the cogs in our LEETLE BRAINS starting clunking and grinding into action)…we thought we would ask YOU, OUR FRIENDS for HELP.

We have set up shop with PLEDGE MUSIC. They are very clever and friendly people, and they are helping us TEAM UP with YOU, our FANS to release our new album.

When you pledge some of your HARD EARNED CASH, you choose from a range of SATISFYING and RIDICULOUS REWARDS that will make you experience WARM FEELINGS OF JOY, as you help us.

Pledges start at just £8 POUNDS – although you can of course CHOOSE to give more for some really SPECIAL PRIZES. But no matter what you give, every person who pledges will receive updates and INFORMATION from us about how the album is PROGRESSING, plus exclusive FILMS, TRACKS, and WORDS from the Orkestra. Unlike Bernardo’s CHEQUERED PAST – its completely safe and legal, but like one of MARCO’S CAKES – it makes you FEEL GOOD!

Please get involved, click on this link and also TELL YOUR FRIENDS. You can make this HAPPEN, and you can grab your own piece of historic HISTORY at the same time.

We’re really EXCITED about our new album, and we’re crossing all fingers and toes that we will reach our target and have the CD ready by NEXT SPRING.

Thanks!

Your friends,

Orkestra del Sol
