Additional Info
50K MM: Who are you, where do you come from? Please tell us something about Benshee. Benshee: Hello.We are a new Pop rock band in Portugal. We were born in a small village close to Lisbon (where everything it's more dificult for a young band). Everything started in 2006 since then we have changed our formation and recorded our first EP. We have won some contests and this year we become part of a compilation as best pop artist of one of the big contests in Portugal. We still as independent band... looking for our lights to shine. 50K MM: How did you discover SellaBand? Benshee: We discovered Sellaband a few years ago in 2007 when a lot of portuguese bands had joined SAB and the portuguese tv news talked about it...and we decided to join in this adventure. But in that time we had some problems in the band and we decided to stop for some months. Now we are back 50K MM: How are you going to convince people to believe (and invest) in you? Please give us some more details of your plan and incentives believers can get. Benshee: Well thats a good question. First of all I think that it should be our music to convince people to believe in us. We will try to have some contests to believers in our page and offer cd's and hot new singles (we are recording in our studio some nice songs for our next EP). We will do our best to get our target. 50K MM: You have raised 3% of the budget so far. Have you thought about the time after reaching the target of 10k $ yet? What are your plans then? Benshee: We have a long way to the 10k ... but we have some plans for now. As I said we are preparing a new EP for the band. Pre-production have already started and we have about 40 songs waiting to come on a cd!! For now we have chosen 6 songs. And we are preparig also everything for our first videoclip! Of course all this is a low cost production and it's all produced by the band! 50K MM: You are an established band in Portugal it seems. Have you also played gigs in the rest of Europe yet? Will we see you on stage soon - where and when? Benshee: We are not a big band but we have some followers and we are getting our place in the sun in here. About Europe.... we never played out of Portugal...and no gig's in future in the rest of Europe. Anyone can help in that??(lol) 50K MM: And last question: How can we support you to speed up raising your budget? Benshee: Thats another good question!! Anything would be nice.You can make a contest to offer our cd.
