Members jealouscreature Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Wow, so the last few months have been bonkers. We've been playing a ton of shows, recorded our album, and somehow, we got a gig at the House of Blues in Houston on 9/4. It's a little crazy, but we're going to go with it and see what happens. There are new tracks at our reverbnation site if you're interested in hearing what the album sounds like. We're pretty excited. (!!!) I'm going to go read posts now.

Members wheresgrant3 Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Good deal. Hopefully the advice you received last spring helped you out with future shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jealouscreature Posted August 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, totally. I am constantly striving to develop better stage presence and connection with the audience. I need more practice, but I think I'm getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MartinC Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 I kinda ribbed you for asking for dough from fans to record your record, and I'm wondering how that worked out. Did donations amount to a significant part of the recording costs, and were they the deciding factor in your ability to record the record? BTW, congrats on your progess!

Members jealouscreature Posted August 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hey! We raised over $4000 on Kickstarter.com and basically, if we had not succeeded in raising the funds, we would not have been able to record the album. So...they were a major factor in our ability to record. It has been an interesting process. I now know a lot of things I would do differently, but I'm pretty happy with the progress we've made up to this point, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Austincowbell Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 I've had 3 friends raise from $4000 to $15,000 on kickstarter. It's for reals. Thing is, you need to do it NOW before every band starts using it and diluting the market. -Just a memory is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
