Glam rockers Blane Fonda have jumped on the online fundraiser bandwagon in order to fund the release of its forthcoming debut album.

The Chicago quintet took to Kicktstarter to raise $5,000 to make the album a reality and they are just over half way there with over $2,600 currently pledged ahead of the May 31 project end date.

Blane Fonda also produced this insane promotional video, narrated by a Morgan Freeman impersonator to encourage donations.

After watching the video, which makes the band out to be Tenacious D-level saviors of the rock and roll, surely the band members have shown that they are quirky enough and maybe crazy enough to be worthy of at least a dollar donation. The more you pledge, the more you get back in return. $15 gets you an advanced copy while $40 gets your a limited edition poster and signed album.

Watch the video after the jump.
