Shane & Gabe have a dream: Mountain Man Music Festival!

Just caught wind of a revolutionary music project headed by two good friends of mine...this is going to change history, so click to see what it's all about, and if you want this to happen, PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT! Also, check out the coverage at PITCHFORK MEDIA:

Shane & Gabe have a dream. A dream to host the raddest festival that ever existed (enter Mountain Man Fest) And certainly the first of its kind in upstate New York. However, Shane & Gabe have no money :( So they worked their butts off and contacted a dozen plus talented bands. Some really big and busy bands. Some smaller but growing, and just as talented. Bands from this country, bands from the west coast, bands from abroad. They also contacted this Awesome record label. Because they are best. After a couple weeks of confusion with said excellent bands and the label, they began to come to an agreement. The bands wanted to play the show, and they committed to play the festival without any money up front.


That is right. They are in. They are committed.


These bands are such good people, they're willing to trust that you awesome fans will raise the money to bring it all together. And together we will.

The slate of bands lined up for The Mountain Man Fest includes Phantogram, Islands, Real Estate, Pill Wonder, HEALTH, Woods, Family Portrait, Julian Lynch, Summer Camp, Cults, Eternal Summers, Memoryhouse, and Yip Yip.

The backers say they need $65,000 to put on the all-day festival. A pledge of $35 or more gets a ticket (they'd need about 1,900 people to pledge at that level to reach $65k). The funding deadline is May 12.

The all-day festival is planned for July 24 at the Saratoga City Center.
