WILSON FIFER ROSE:
The Wilson, Fifer, Rose kickstarter has launched with great sucess. Here's the documentaary style video from our kickstarter site.
We met our modest goal of $2,500 within the first 7 hours of launch thanks to a few very generous backers. We are extremely grateful to everybody who has pledged so far. I want to make it clear to all who will pledge and have already pledged that every dollar we get will go towards making the best product we possibly can. Specifically, the guys and I would love it if we could put more money towards mixing and mastering.
Fortunately (and unfortunately) there's a plethora of affordable companies of varying quality that provide these services. Any money we have will go a long way in paying for a better sounding album. To say we're stoked is an understatement.
Although we've technically met our goal, we were planning on having to cut all kinds of corners just to keep the goal of $2,500 so low being as that's only about half the cost of making an album the way we're trying to do it. I'm so suprised by the support we've already gotten. It really means a lot to us.
Naked Winery Gig:
No, we wont be naked! That's the name of the venue! Dustin Rose, his lovely wife Andrea, myself, and possibly some other friends will be playing at the Naked Winery in Hood River on Friday 10-26-12 from 7pm to 10pm. Come check us out. We'll be doing originals as well as covers with as much vocal harmony as we can possibly squeeze in.
Philhelmon - Radio Interview/ Record Stores:
I've been contacted by Rob Kraak from DRTV and RTV radio in Europe for an interview! Henk's been pushing "Enjoy..." to radio stations with much success. Evidentally Mr. Kraak works for two regional radio stations in the NL and he's doing a program on the making of our album! I'll be inverviewed over Skype with Henk sometime in the next week or two! As soon as the program airs I'll try to post it.
Henk's also managed to make contacts in Japan to distribute our album! Progressive rock doesn't seem big in the US right now, but I'm glad to see that it's thriving in other countries because it's always been one of my favorite genres.
That's it for now!
