Made Our Goal But It's Not Over Yet
Last Chance to Pre-Order
We surpassed our goal on Kickstarter yesterday thanks to the support of everyone who contributed. Of course, the people who pre-ordered the vinyl will be getting the appropriate rewards + extra goodies that we're cooking up. We're throwing it all in a pot and it's going to be seasoned and delicious. Thanks again to our backers.
But wait a minute... 10 days left? Wow, that's still a lot of time to pre-order. Remember the deal. It's $5 off the normal price. You'll get the download instantly on December 1st. Extra goodies will be sent as well. Zack spoke of this in the video here, so you know it's not a lie.
You better hop on this train before it rolls by. The more you love us, the more we'll love you back. Win-win.
New Music Video. New Youtube Channel. New Everything.
We got us another video people. It's great to have an editor in the band. Derek did a superb job. Of course, Ben Pearson and David Ogle gave him some incredible shots to work with. Did anyone else know that amazing bridge existed in Nashville? Cause I sure as hell did not.
Quote from an old man walking on the Pedestrian Bridge while we were shooting, "Is there a body in there?" He believed we were going to ceremoniously throw the coffin over the bridge and let it tumble into the Cumberland River. Now that would have been a great shot...
In other NEW news, we have a legit Youtube channel now. It's got all the videos from The Letter C DVD plus an extensive collection of live footage. It's that Hi-Def ya'll! And stay tuned for more videos coming very, very soon.
Incredible.
New Photos & Music Video
Fourth Member Not a Ghost
Yesterday was a beautiful and productive day. We hauled a very heavy coffin around for one reason: a music video. Thanks to the talents of Ben Pearson and David Ogle, we shot the entire video in one day. While Derek's losing sleep editing the thing, you can get a sneak peak with these fancy photographs by Sally LaFave.
If you haven't already noticed something strange about the photos, I'm here to tell you. We've added a fourth member to our trio (which transforms us into a quartert, mind you). Ryan LaFave has been the "Man Behind the Curtain" until very recently. He co-wrote a few songs from The Letter C and played a major role in the video for "Uncle William". But he couldn't stay a ghost member forever. Now he's our new bassist and pallbearer. Welcome, Ryan, welcome.
Stay tuned for our new music video!
