Because what could be better than a piece of Absynth? Quintet, that is.
Would you like to give a friend a slot as the sixth member of Humboldt’s renowned* gypsy-jazz-string-happy Absynth Quintet? Or have the erstwhile male models** follow them about for part of a day a la Jonathan Richman in Something About Mary? Or have the fivesome cook you and your special other dinner while wearing nothing — if you’re really brave and dedicated to the cause — nothing but aprons and chaps?***
All of this can be yours via the exciting new concept of audience-owned album creation — Kickstarter! Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors.
But wait! That’s not all! You also get — for yourself or the gift receipient — at the very least, a digital download of the new AQ album you helped to create! And for a mere $25, you’ll get a signed copy (future eBay riches!) and an official AQ T-shirt.
Remember, nothing says Happy Holidays like becoming a creative partner in a very fine musical project! Share the spirits — and the proprietary**** rights — of the Absynth Quintet!
