Any Fueler that joins our project gets to help us sing the first note on our record. We will gather our Fuelers in a studio room here in NYC and sing the first note together in unison - this note will fade into Track one of our upcoming album.

Cheers and Aloha Friends and Family!
This is Silbin and Brian and we want to Thank You for checking out our RocketHub page.
Here's the scoop - we are collaborating on a new album combining both of our styles and launching it with RocketHub.com. Check out the attached MP3 of "Don't Wanna Waste It" recorded live at Rockwood Music Hall. This will be one of the new tunes we record in the studio.
The way it works is this - we need to raise $5000 by the end of our campaign, which is in about 2 weeks, in order to make our album happen.
The Fuelers that contribute get cool stuff back ranging from MP3s, CDs, T-Shirts, Vinyl, custom songs and lessons, and other fun items and experiences.
If the project funds, congrats to us and to you! We do the album and you all get cool stuff.
If it doesn't fund, your "RocketFuel" is credited back to you (or cashed out) and Silbin and Brian hang their heads in shame.
Just kidding, we know our goals are lofty but we think with your help we can make our dream album happen.
Keep checking back as we update our project page with new adventures.
Mahalo and Love to you all!
Silbin and Brian
