    Initial podcast was great, a perfect introduction and status report. I can't wait to hear more, and I think that having an ancillary podcast that goes behind-the-scenes of the story you're telling will be really valuable to a lot of people. Keep up the good work.

    Rewards on the Way

    Hi everybody! We’ve been quiet around these parts for a little while. Here’s an update on what we’ve been up to. (And it may be one of the last for this project!)


    • We had our release party two weeks ago today, and it was wonderful! You can see photos, more photos, and even more photos from our good friend Aaron Yoshino.

    • We’ve completely redesigned our website, and added a page for the Gate EP and an online store.

    • We’re writing and practicing again, and planning to record (a single? another EP?) early next year. We’ll let you know.

    • Your rewards are coming. We’re finishing up the last of the mixtapes as you read this, and the rarities compilation is all but .zip’d up. And for many of you, packages were sent out on Tuesday. Watch your mailboxes!

    • If you have a holiday over the weekend, had one already, have one coming up, or if you don’t: we wish you and yours the very best. And to all: happy new year!

    T-shirts, Ant Farms, and Stickers

    Hope you're enjoying Gate! If you haven't already, grab it here:

    http://clonesofthequeen.com/gate

    Quick update on the goodies. See the pictures below.

    Our friend AJ graciously screen-printed your T-shirts over the weekend, and we'll be sending them out with the rest of your rewards this week.

    I've just put in the order for the ant farms, and they should be here shortly.

    We got a few more stickers printed, too.

    Mixtapes and the rarities CD-R are shaping up nicely.

    Hope to see you on Thursday! For those of you not on Oahu, we're trying to set up video of the show. We'll keep you posted.
