L.A.’s Giant Drag is in need of financial assistance getting their next record off the ground, so they have reached out to their fans for support. It’s kind of a sketchy plan, but they have promised “rewards” for those who donate. Maybe this will get them to tour again, because they are fun to watch live. Annie’s between song banter is especially funny and crass for such an innocent looking girl.
“i have proved myself to paypal to be…myself and they have re-activated the donation button for the Giant Drag Relief Fund to get this record paid for (even though those assholes are taking a percentage of every donation, jerks) and to put the random grape in my belly. so if you’d like to lend a hand and be a part of the next Giant Drag record please go donate. soon i will announce the rewards for the specific donation amounts sometime later and Audreytern will help me keep records of everyone’s donations/total amounts. its been brought to my attention that jill sobule (she sang that song about kissing a girl) did this…i’d like to believe it was my idea first and i just needed help to do the dang thing. i’m told she has prizes like “for X amount you get to have your name in a song and maybe even have it rhyme with something”…sorry, i am not going to do that, unless someone donates 75 grand in which case i will name the whole album after you. but hopefully my rewards will be just as fulfilling without being so…uh… not my style? to donate please go to www.myspace.com/giantdrag and see the button in the Bio section, or just use annie@giantdrag.com if you know your way around paypal.”
