First 2012 Kickstarter Project: Tarun Balani Collective- Debut Album 'Sacred World'

Drummer Tarum BalaniIt's been a couple of months since I've featured a kickstarter project here on EoJ.

Kickstarter???

What is Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors.

We believe that:

• A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide. 
• A large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands.

That being said, I believe that this is a great project to start with in 2012!
