We are Lado Esquerdo and intend to record our first EP.

Hi everyone!

We are Lado Esquerdo, we are from Oporto and the band is three years old. Until these days we built our history mainly on stage where we always try to present an unique and powerful show that may go from pop to rock to acoustic. The artists that have paid their influence to our style are: Xutos & Pontapés, Tim, Manu Chao, Arctic Monkeys, Rui Veloso, Cabeças no Ar, Led Zeppelin, The Black Keys, The Police, Santana, Muse, Prana, among others.

Our intention is to make a stand in the Portuguese music scene and, in order to achieve that, we will be recording our first EP in early 2014. It will feature five songs and it will be produced by Marco Nunes (Pedro Abrunhosa & Comité Caviar, Jorge Palma, etc.). We are talking about a slightly expensive investment, so we are here to ask for your support and participation to help pay for this project‘s cost. The value of 500€ represents a small part of the expenses the band will have throughout the whole process, which will be of 3000€.

This is a major step in a band’s development, and we can’t figure out a better way of making our dream come true without having you helping us! From Lado Esquerdo, our thanks!

About the author

Lado Esquerdo is born in September of 2009. Since then we have created a collection of 20 original songs, sung in Portuguese, and presented a bit everywhere through Portugal. We have also added to our history three self productions in Hard Club (Oporto), with the likes of Zé Pedro and Kalú (Xutos & Pontapés), Fernando Cunha (Delfins, Resistência) e João Grande (Táxi) as special guests. We have performed multiple times, escaping a bit from our original pop/rock format, the “Desafio Acústico” (Acoustic Challenge) in diverse Fnac of our country.

From Braga to Oporto, to Lisbon, Lado Esquerdo (Alex on the piano and lead vocals, Pedro Beires on the bass, Gonçalo Queirós on the lead guitar, André Alfenim on the other guitar, João Barroso on the drums, Tiago Peixoto on the percussion and Miguel Vieira on the sax) keeps writing its own history, despite their multiple line-up changes, always providing a cool and powerful show that is a journey through rock, pop and acoustic in the hands of a Portuguese songs set.

Budget and due dates

O Lado Esquerdo irá por certo, ter o resultado final deste EP, em Abril de 2014. Até lá, vamos passar pela fase de pré-produção (a arrancar em Nov. 2013), produção, pós-produção, promoção, e distribuição. Este apoio solicitado na respectiva plataforma (500€), representa uma ajuda simbólica às despesas já previstas e calculadas para o projecto em causa, sendo que a banda irá investir 3.000€ em todo o processo. Este é um trabalho que visa a divulgação da banda e a apresentação da mesma às grandes entidades da imprensa e media nacional, não sendo um trabalho a ser vendido directamente ao grande público (não esperamos um retorno financeiro imediato). Acreditamos nos nossos apoiantes e no sucesso desta plataforma, estamos confiantes no resultado que pode vir a ser obtido.
