    We made it!

    Thanks to you, we've achieved the goal of raising $2,500 to help Arms and Sleepers keep making music! This money will come in at a time when we need it the most---paying for previous debts but also funding future endeavours. To be honest, we were unsure whether we'd be able to raise this much money. Not that we doubted our fans, but times are tough for everyone and certainly our cause is not the most pressing issue in the world. We wanted to experiment with this and see if alternative ways of surviving from music are actually possible in today's utterly confusing and highly unfair music business. Thanks to you, we are reassured that some people do still care about independent, underground music, and are passionate enough about it to financially support small artists like us. Thank you so much for pledging to Arms and Sleepers through Kickstarter---we can't express enough just how grateful we are for your continued enthusiasm and willingness to help whenever help is needed. For those that pledged, we'll send you a private update with the shipment info and also a breakdown of where your money is going. We want to make sure that you're informed about how we deal with the $2,500 + raised.

    For the folks that pledged money for orders involving vinyl, there will be an additional shipping cost. Unfortunately the charges for shipping vinyl (particularly for international orders) are so high that we are forced to do this. If you should have a problem with this, we'll work it out one way or another, so don't worry!

    Finally, there are still 10 days left until our project is officially over, and any additional money we can raise beyond $2,500 will help us out even more. So, if you haven't contributed yet, feel free to do so now until Feb. 15! Plenty of items are still available, from $1 to $200. Signed CDs, vinyl, and songs written just for you are all still out there, so pledge away if you like our music and want to contribute to the cause!

    Again, a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts---we love you and couldn't be more grateful right now!

    xoxo
    Max & Mirza

    Thank you and happy holidays!

    Just a quick note to thank everyone that has contributed to Arms and Sleepers thus far---we're 2/3 of the way to our goal and 50 days still left to go! We're currently getting ready for our 3rd European tour, packing carefully and trying not to forget anything. We rehearsed for 6 days straight, and have come up with what we think is our best live set yet. It took a while to get all the parts down and to adjust to performing with live vocals, but it's all been working out great so we're excited to finally get going on the road!

    Please continue to spread the word about our pledge campaign---now more then ever is the time to support independent music, and we ask for your help in supporting Arms and Sleepers. We are utterly grateful to all of you that have contributed so far---without you we couldn't do this.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays---stay warm and see you soon!

    Mirza + Max

    Thank you!

    Just wanted to thank everyone for donating to our cause thus far. You've helped us make the first 10 days a huge success --- we're a third of the way to our goal! We really appreciate your contributions, and especially in these tough economic times. We can only promise more great things to come from our end, and none of it is possible without you. Thank you!

    xoxo
