Lucius Releases Campaign Video

Local band Lucius has taken a creative approach to remain active in spite of the theft of the band's . The band has put together a campaign video that asks family, friends and fans to donate to help them buy new instruments. 

"By pledging to this pledge campaign you will be affording us the opportunity to get new (used) gear so we can actually tour this coming Summer," the band wrote on the campaign page. 

"And though some of our gear was irreplaceable, we are just trying to get back on our feet. The summer is quickly approaching and we hope to be on the road visiting fans both near and far! And the truth is, we can do that without your support. Every little bit counts." 

Friends of the band have offered prizes to those who pledge certain amounts, including mixing projects, original artwork, compilation cps and house concerts. 

As of Monday afternoon, the site has received 40 pledges, bringing the band to 29 percent of its target, with 59 days to go. Click here to find out more about the campaign and to pledge.
