Flake & Flames: Final Funding Campaign Kick Off


Flake & Flames have come a long way since we started the documentary film project back in november 2010. It started as a small side project, we did just because we could. Now it has grown in to a full fledged feature length documentary, with top professional people on the payroll. The film almost grew on it’s own. It is like the story was meant to be told at this point in history. It demanded to be taken seriously. The Flake & Flames monster was not satisfied with being a side project.

Making a film on this level have been a great challenge. We have learned a lot of hard lessons on the way. The amount of stuff you have to deal with when making an actual real deal documentary, to be published around the world, is mind blowing. When enough people are involved. A seemingly insignificant thing like getting answers to emails can grow in to an extremely time consuming and tedious task. Not something we figured would seriously affect our schedule when we started out. But we are fighters, and have great family and friends to support us. Not to mention all the fantastic support we get from all of you who are looking forward to see Flake & Flames very soon.

We are almost there. Flake & Flames has become the film we always wanted, but never dared imagine. Teaming up with top professionals for post production has taken the film to a totally new level. First time we saw some rough cuts, we both got all misty eyed. Flake & Flames have become more than we dared hope for. We can not wait to show it to you.

But first we need your help. Making film on this scale cost money, a lot of money. The crowdfunding campaign we did last year, covered the cost of filming in Europe. The filming we did in United States we covered with our own savings. Thanks to our agreements with Hell Yeah Beer, and KG Film we have covered most post production and editing costs.

Now, we are almost done. Release is only a few months away. Just a couple more things that has to be finished before we can publish the film. For that we need your help, and we are proud to be able to give you some seriously bad ass stuff in return.

Check out what we got in store for you on the second and final funding campaign for Flake & Flames – The Kustom Kulture Adventure:

The Meteors - Strange Times Are Coming (Official Video) by The Pixeleye


Filmed, directed, edited and produced by Dirk Behlau, http://www.pixeleye.de
Idea & Concept by P.Paul Fenech / The Meteors
Client: People Like You Records, http://www.peoplelikeyou.de

THE METEORS started thirty years ago as a reaction against the soft rockabilly that was popular at that time, and they have now evolved to become the acknowledged "Kings of Psychobilly".

Their audience has continually expanded, and includes not just psychobillies, but everybody from rockabillies and punks, to bikers, and most alternatives. They are the original creators of Psychobilly Music, and although they have spawned hundreds of imitations, THE METEORS are proud to be the only pure Psychobilly band ever. Their songs are inspired by their personal experiences and interests; Horror, Perversion, and Death in general. They list their hobbies as motorbikes, rock’n’roll, and burying the living; amongst their heroes are Michael Myers, Charles Manson and Mark Chapman the man who shot John Lennon.

They have now made no less than 40 official albums, and countless singles, not to mention dozens of compilations and re-issues. Many were made in their own recording studio, "In Heaven" a fully working pro studio used by 100’s of bands including some very famous household names and lead-man PAUL FENECH has also released six successful solo albums. (They have also featured in many films and numerous TV shows) Worldwide sales have increased steadily over the years, and they have toured almost continuously to support these releases.

Their live show is wild and addictive, (they have done it over thousands of times in fact this year passing their four thousand five hundredth) and has been seen in just about every country in the world, including Japan, several tours of America, and every major city in Europe and Scandinavia even spending a sell out week in Israel, Everybody is welcome at THE METEORS show, and the band make a point that THE METEORS Live is a political or religious free zone. People should come to enjoy the music, and to wreck if they are brave enough! It's wild and sweaty, but nobody gets seriously hurt.

They are supported by a flourishing fan base, with thousands of supporters worldwide, who are kept in touch by the website www.kingsofpsychobilly.com which is updated daily with tours, band news and new merchandise, and there are several internet web sites devoted to them. And they receive daily e-mail from fans from the 4 corners of the earth. Although there have been line-up changes over the years, (PAUL FENECH being the only original member) the search for the perfect combination is now over. THE METEORS are a known name, experienced, professional working band, with an established audience. Their most recent release is "Hell Train Rollin’" from 2009.

Whatever you do, don’t forget

Only THE METEORS Are Pure Psychobilly
