because that's all I've ever wanted to do and I'm so thankful you let me!

Well hello there wonderful Fanimals!

Firstly thank you for coming to this page and for all of your amazing support so far... with your help we have been able to achieve things we thought impossible such as recording big albums,  shooting colourful videos, putting on huge shows and above all making music without a big label or any major backing - we have done it our way TOGETHER and the truth is... I am in love with collaborating and getting everyone involved so I wanted to sign on to Patreon to do more.... LOTS MORE.

This time it's not just raising money for one project - its for our whole career. Basically, you would be helping us to continue making our music full time without the constant worries and struggles that go with it (after 12 years of dedicating my life to being a musician it would be nice not to have those anymore!).

As our 'Patron' you simply agree to pledge us a small amount of money (the actual amount is up to you) for every song we record/film and upload here. As more of you become Patrons this will enable our music to continue and grow more than ever before - and YOU become a massive, important part of it. I love staying connected with you as much as possible, so I wanted to sign up to Patreon to do exactly that and give you all something extra special - just for you.

All our other crowdfunding campaigns have been amazing but it's always bittersweet as the sense of community dies down once they are completed. Being our Patron will keep this excitement alive and keep us all smiling... because that is the thing I most want to bring to the world... smiles. :)

This time we're doing something different - we're going to show you our songs! Not just new songs (although there will be lots of those!) but cover songs, fun songs, us writing songs, even little ideas we have for songs, as we're having them. We're going to film them all and upload them as videos on to Patreon. Because this time, as we write our 4th album (!) we want YOU to be a part of the whole creative process which takes us from the first few ideas to the last day of mixing. But we're not going to stop when the album's finished, because that's not how creative people work. We'll continue writing and playing and sharing everything with YOU as we go along...and the best thing about it is that the more people who become our patrons, the more ambitious we can be with each video.

Also, as you'll see below, YOU can chose what songs we film - maybe you want to hear us put our slant on your favourite song by Duran Duran or there's an old song of ours that you want to see us perform on spoons and washboard. The choice is up to you!

As well as all this, we have some very special rewards for you if you choose to become our Patron and we have named each tier as an animal so you have a Fanimal identity!
Firstly, you'll have access to our very swanky Patreon-only feed that will be the place for everything we do

• Free downloads of MP3s of every video

• Contact us directly at any point to answer any questions you might want to ask or throw us some suggestions...
• Behind the scenes and out take videos
• Blog updates

And if you can give more - you get more...
You can also get these rewards if you become a higher tier (which you can change at any time)

• Get the videos before everyone else... [Only available to FOX, DOG, HORSE, BEAR & ELEPHANT Patrons]
• Exclusive access to our 'Patreon Only' online shows/ hangouts once a month... [DOG, HORSE, BEAR & ELEPHANT only]
• Choose the next song we record and film... [HORSE, BEAR & ELEPHANT only]
• Free gig tickets [BEAR & ELEPHANT only]
• AND even your own personal yearly song! [ELEPHANT only]

Don't worry! We will NOT put out more than three videos per month AND you can put a monthly max on your pledging limit (eg. three videos per month at $1 each) as the last thing we want to do is leave you out of pocket. Also, you can alter how much you pledge, or even cancel altogether at anytime. Patreon is a very flexible subscription service and we are grateful for any and all support you can give us, even if that's just sharing our music with others.

THANKYOU for being endlessy amazing!!
I love you all very very much from the bottom of my heart,
Xox Gab-treon xoX
