Van Breakdown! Make A Donation, Receive Unreleased Music

Posted by giantpandadub on February 15th, 2010

Greetings Friends and Family,

We are reaching out to you for help in a time of need. We are about to pile into a rental car and head to Atlanta from North Carolina in an effort to not miss tonight’s show. On Saturday our usually reliable workhorse of a van decided it had enough and could travel no further after the engine somehow cracked. Breakdowns and vehicle troubles come with the territory and is something we imagine most every touring band deals with at one time or another. The timing is never convenient but usually with some quick thinking and creative problem solving, a major crisis can usually be avoided.

While we are no strangers to mechanical setbacks on the road, this time the situation is more challenging and we need all the help we can get to make this repair and complete our current and future tour dates. Our van is in the shop right now and needs its engine replaced, which for this particular vehicle comes at a cost of $16,000! While this is a large sum of money for an independent band like ours we are optimistic that if everyone can help contribute even a small amount of money, together we can get this van back on the road and continue on with our relentless tour schedule.

We have setup a link to our PayPal account where anyone can make a donation. In return for your generosity we will email you some previously unreleased GPGDS music! (suggested minimum donation $5)

We have a tremendous amount of respect for all of you who have helped support us over the years by coming to our concerts, purchasing our albums and helping spread our music far and wide. Reaching out to you for help is not something we take lightly.

We can’t express how much we appreciate your help during this difficult time. THANK YOU!

Love and Respect,
Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad
