Wasn't the Apocalypse supposed to be more fun then this?
Added 2020-03-18 16:11:47 +0000 UTCI want to give you guys all my heart filled appreciation for sticking by Abney Park and our Patreon account during this challenging times. Thanks to a certain virus who will go unnamed, all our summer concerts are being cancelled, or moved to next year. Which means our Live Show Income, and HUGE part of our income, is completely gone.
Just this month alone the band last lost about $15,000 of performance income that we split between the 5 members of Abney Park. That means band members will be struggling to pay bills, rent, mortgage, etc.
So you guys sticking by us in our time of need is frankly...heroic!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
But hey, there is a bright side to all this! With so many people stuck at home (including us!) there is so much more time to read, play games, and listen to music!
So I'm going to up the amount of fun stuff I give you, just to see us all through this slump! Starting today! The second I'm done writing this post, I'm going to upload for you a bunch of fun goodies, to help you pass the time in your own personal quarantine.
And once again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
If it weren't for you patrons, we wouldn't still be around.

like a game of pandemic :) there is a site where if 1 person owns it they can "group" play the game with the rest.

2020-03-18 17:31:15 +0000 UTCI'm glad there is at least what little help can come from Patreon. I've been thinking about you and other artists, with no way to make ends meet with theaters dark across the country. Looking forward to the online concert, happy to have gotten a ticket already!

2020-03-18 16:56:59 +0000 UTCYears ago, I paid to watch a live streamed band practice. It was wonderful. I would do that again. Who's with me? Lets keep Abney Park employed!!

2020-03-18 16:46:26 +0000 UTCThank you for coming back. I don't know what the controversy was, but the benefit of Patreon to some of us is HUGE, and I have faith that the people running patreon are trying their best to support a lot of conflicting interests.

2020-03-18 16:22:21 +0000 UTCI did drop Patreon for a time due to a controversy; I originally did not want to sign up again, but in the end the desire of being able to support the creators I love and the works I adore just won out. I‘m glad I made the right decision - glad to be on board, Captain !
