Biography

Hi my name is Wes, I'm in a band First Class Social. We are from Fayetteville Wv. You may listen to our music on our myspace Myspace.com/firstclasssocial).

To sum everything up. This is our story. We all came from the same page when it came to music we all love to play, we all have a dream of becoming something big. We continue to run into the same problems. Over the past few months we have spent $200.00 on recording that have mad little to impact on what we are trying to get out of this. In order to make it in the music business these days. You must have your sounds published in a professional way. So everyone can hear the music we have created in the right form.

We have tried this path by ourselves before and ran into the same problem over and over. We need a good sound. When we got recorded last it cost us 150 for 1 song. This song winded up being a low quality sound that is hard for us to listen to more then a few times. The music just piles together. There are a few studios around here that can give us the sound we need. They will cost us around $1,200 for a full length cd.
We can't afford it because only one of us has a job and they work at Wal-mart so we're not bringing in much. I am in college and have paid out of my own pocket. Our drummer also our bass player will be attending college in the fall. So we will not have any income what so ever to just lay down for the band.

Before you ask "Yes, we play shows. We play them all the time. The only default is we get about $20.00 a show and that goes to gas money to make it there. People are buying merch which has currently given us a $23 profit. We can't get what we need to make it out of either one of those. We have chatted with signed bands such as: Underoath, Escape the Fate, Killswitch Engage, This or The Apocalypse, and We Came as Romans. They all have told us that the only way we will get heard to make it to the next level is to get a professional recording.

Here is a little bit about ourselves just so you know we are content. We have opened for Signed bands such as Life Ruiner(life force), This or The Apocalypse(life force), Heal These Wounds (hot foot), and Arise and Ruin (victory).

We have a music review coming out on August 10th from High wire Daze magazine in Hollywood CA. Who covers huge bands. We got ranked 24th out of 378 bands to play in the Vans Warped tour at Va Beach.

Over the past 9 months of this we have bought ourselves professional equipment required to sound good live. Guitar amps, guitars, drums, and a wonderful PA system that we are still in debt for.

We are asking because we simply can't do it ourselves. To help us make a cd and take our music to the next level. Please give us the chance to follow our dreams it can happen, in fact I promise it will.

We will give who ever help us with this a free copy of the cd so you know we are legit. Just e-amil me at firstclasssocial@gmail.com or message us on myspace "myspace.com/firstclasssocial"

Thank you all so much for helping we will not forget you!

Help our dream.

You should be messaging people, not commenting on their pages, to
solicit donations. I am sorry, but your cause does not align with they
types of charity I am interested in contributing to (though I am sure
there are people out there who are interested, so don't give up!), so
it shouldn't be part of my profile in my comments. By the way, if you
want to be taken seriously, you need to spell "Musicians"
correctly.
