PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CROWDFUND CAMPAIGN WHICH MEANS A CERTAIN QUANTITY OF RECORDS NEED TO BE SOLD BEFORE THE RECORD STARTS PRODUCTION. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE WILL BE A DELAY FROM PURCHASE OF YOUR RECORD UNTIL YOU RECEIVE IT.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...Black Comet came together with a shared mission. The mission of bringing back the funk.

Multi-dimensional, galactic funk 5 piece Black Comet, founded by Ninja, Laughton Kora (Kora, L.A.B, Fly My Pretties), is a groove-based experience with narratives.

Featuring previously released singles ‘Ooh Yeah Baby’, “Sleep’ and ‘R.C’, ‘Episode 1: Looking For A New Planet’ showcases their craft of writing and playing music from a live perspective, with going on a journey, not just songs to fit the radio criteria. They have had the freedom to follow the story through experiences and experimentation sonically.

Bringing back jams and musicianship, Black Comet are celebrating the release of their debut album with an album release party on the same day at Totara Street in Mount Maunganui.

Supporting the album is the single of the same name ‘Looking For A New Planet’, a tale of finding a new home, a fresh start. Frontman Laughton Kora explains ”The home we live on at the moment, being Earth…sucks ass! It’s full of war, racism, money, vanity and the cause of this hate is made from humans. They’re the only thing wrong with this world. I want to find a new planet where nature comes first”.

With recently completing a Winter Tour and headlining at Nuit Blanche Street Festival in Napier, the band has a very exciting Summer ahead with WOMAD 2025 announced this week and more announcements coming soon.

FAQ

How long is the crowdfunding campaign?

6 weeks.

What is the crowdfunding campaign goal for an artist?

The goal is to fund 100% of the manufacturing costs associated with the vinyl pressing of their album. This cost will vary depending on quantity and the pressing specifications of the vinyl record. The total units needed to sell is equal to the breakeven point for the artist to cover all costs. After that, all sales will be profit for the artist.

What happens if the artist does not reach their crowdfunding campaign goal in 6 weeks?

There are two options for the artist: (1) 100% of the sales get refunded to the fans who pre-ordered their vinyl record and it does not get manufactured; or (2) the artist can top-up the remaining balance themselves in order to fund the pressing of their record which means it will still be manufactured and fans will still receive their pre-ordered album.

How long will it take for a fan to get their pre-ordered vinyl record if the crowdfunding campaign is successful?

Approximately 8 weeks following the end of the crowdfunding campaign.
