Hi, everyone. So, these two guys called Leonardo and Juan are working on a documentary on math rock called Growing Aside, which they expect to release next year. Three days ago, they set up a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo, with a short trailer featuring Nikk Hunter of the Fecking Bahamas website; you can check it out here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/growing-aside-a-math-rock-documentary

Initially, the focus of the film was going to be the local, Argentinian scene, which basically revolves around the bands on the Anomalía label. (Juan is a drummer and producer of some of those bands.) However, the guys eventually decided to tell a more encompassing story, by including footage and interviews of other bands around the world.

The good news is, so far they've gathered 74% of their US$2000 goal, and they still have 8 weeks to come up with the rest! So, it looks like the campaign will be successful! :)

If you are interested in Leonardo's and Juan's film, but you can't collaborate with money, no problem! According to the campaign's site, you can also help the guys by:
  • Sending them audiovisual material from your hometown to growingaside@gmail.com
  • Translating from japanese / chinese
  • Giving them a place to crash anywhere in UK
  • Sharing this project on your social media and to possible sponsors

Oh, and - according to their FAQ section: if you'd like to appear with your band in the documentary, you can contact the guys. Seems like they'd love to include everyone! :)

Thanks, buddy! That was an interesting podcast to listen to. I'll share it with the guys. (According to them, the documentary will deal with the history of the genre.)

Update: Yesterday, the guys gathered 100% of the total! :)

Still, the campaign finishes in 5 weeks. So, if you are still able to help (collaborating, or spreading the word with friends), that would be great!

Again: if you have a band, and would like to submit material, you can contact the guys!
