Band Raised $14,000 From Fans For Doco, But Didn’t Finish It

American pop punk band The Dangerous Summer have admitted that they haven't made the documentary they promised with the $14,000 that they received from fans during a crowdfunding exercise two years ago.

The band, who toured Australia late last year with Warped, had yet to produce the documentary, with fans questioning whether it would ever see the light of day.

In a statement from the band's guitarist Cody Payne, via Property Of Zack, they have now confirmed that the money has been spent and that there is no documentary.

“Sorry for letting you all down, this is 100% my fault and I understand the hate, disappointment [sic] and speculation,” he wrote. “Just please try and understand how hard it is making a DVD when you have never done it and there were a lot of things that went unaccounted for when planning this thing.”

He went on to say that, “This is not something we can simply refund as the money raised was used to make the DVD which the original [sic] version (which we personally were not satisfied with and wanted to redo) has been released in segments online”.

In what appears to be a thinly veiled attack of those who were demanding the DVD after donating to the cause Payne continued, “I have learned that some people do not have any appreciation for artistic integrity and are simply consumers with needy hands. Due to all the complaints we are just going to be releasing the original version.

“Most of the prizes, especially the more expensive ones have been fulfilled and more will continue to be fulfilled as I can come up with the funds out of my personal wallet. This may take some time but this is my fault and im going to have to take responsibility. once again sorry for letting you down”. [sic]
