Description

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CROWDFUND CAMPAIGN - DELIVERY DATE TBC.

Like TLC, Revulva is CrazySexyCool, but they’re also puzzled by driver behaviour, mad at landlords, cheeky jokers, unashamedly feminist, and all too well aware that sometimes CrazySexyCool ends in CrazySexyAwkward. 

Described by Rolling Stone Australia as “strangely alluring,” the femme-fronted eight-piece formed in Wellington under the de facto leadership of the composer, lyricist, bassist and vocalist Phoebe Johnson in 2019. Since then, Johnson and her clown van full of hyper-busy musical collaborators, Lily Rose Shaw, Toby Leman, Hector McLachlan, Kaito Walley, Lennox Grootjans, Mysty Cooke, and Zane Hawkins, have won over bar, nightclub and festival audiences across New Zealand.


Taking cues from Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Jamiroquai, Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Minnie Ripperton and Prince, Revulva reimagines the anything-goes energy of New York City’s 1970s downtown scene and London’s 1990s funk and soul renaissance through an antipodean lens informed by the deadpan humour and the realities of 21st-century life in New Zealand. The result is a hedonistic whirlwind of acid jazz, avant-funk, disco, AOR and art-pop, where polished playing leaves room for improvisation in the heat of the moment, and real statements come bundled up with just enough laughs to soften the snarl. 


Following on from their first EP, Girls Gotta Eat (2022) and the road-rage jazz-funk and orgasmic uptempo R&B of recent singles ‘Beep Beep’ and ‘Bush Bash’, Revulva’s self-titled debut album is a musical snapshot of the hijinks, realisations and adventures they’ve lived through over the half-decade. Recorded at Doctor Lee Prebble’s Surgery Studios in Wellington, its ten song tracklist captures the dynamic energy and juxtapositions that power their percussive grooves, spellbinding horn section and Johnson’s silky smooth songcraft and spoken word strut. It’s a high-wire act in a three-ring circus. You’re all invited to the Revulva party. You can even cry if you want to.

FAQ

How long is the crowdfunding campaign?

6 weeks. This crowdfunding campaign ends 1 October 2024.

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.
