    Final update! Project wraps up tomorrow!

    You guys are amazing! We reached our goal last Sunday night! Pledges are still coming in and to celebrate we're going to hook you up. If you pledged $50 or raise your pledge to the $50 level we're gonna hook you up with limited color vinyl (The incentive for the $150 level).

    Thanks to all of you who pledged or shared our project with your friends, family and social networks. We are deeply indebted to all of your kindness.

    Lots of love,

    Dusty Vinyl and The Imperial Rooster

    6 days left and 90% of our goal!

    Hey! 

    Hope you guys are having a nice weekend! Just wanted to post a quick update. We are mind bogglingly close to having our project funded! We are at 90% of our goal and we still have six days left to go. YOU! ALL! FREAKING! ROCK!

    Thank you all so much for your pledges, for liking this on Facebook, for tweeting about it, for telling your friends about it. We wouldn't have ever been able to do this without everybody's help. We are feeling the love big time. We got a lot of love back for you!

    Let's get this baby finished up! Please keep helping us spread the word this final week. We don't need a lot so a pledge of a dollar or two can add up quick. Tell your friends and we all win. We get to put out this album and you all get some awesome Rooster stuff.

    Thanks for everything! Much love!

    Dusty Vinyl

    14 days to go!

    Hey everybody! We want to thank everyone who has made a pledge or shared a link. You all are awesome. Here's an update on where we stand. We are at 53% of our funding with 14 days left to go! We are still short $1129 of our goal. We still have time to get there but we need your help! If you have pledged already then you know that the only way you can get your awesome incentive is if we reach that goal! Please help us spread the word about this by sharing the link on your Facebook wall, tweeting about it or just talking to your friends about the project and letting them know about the cool incentives and that you have made a pledge. We aren't asking for a lot and people don't need to pledge a lot. Even a pledge of a dollar can add up quickly!

    Thanks for your help and for checking out our Kickstarter!
