Wax Fingers is an experimental rock band from Portland, OR that is dead set on winning your heart.
Well, thanks to all our awesome backers, we hit out goal, but that doesn't mean we can't keep selling albums. The way Kickstarter works is, if you don't hit your goal, you don't get any money. Honestly, we were scared. We had no idea how much support we had out there so we set our goal kind of low to insure that we hit it. The truth is, the cost of finishing this album along with our upcoming tour expenses is going to be much more than $1800. So please, keep the pre-orders coming in. If you're planning on buying an album when we finish, why not buy it now and help make this Kickstarter campaign a bigger success than we could have ever imagined. We're very grateful for all the contributions so far.

We have spent the last several months meticulously crafting what we believe to be our finest work yet. We've had an amazing response to our single 'Sticky Bees', a lot of positive press, regular radio play, and with a west coast tour planned for late summer, the momentum is growing. The album is nearing completion, but there is still a lot to be done. We need your help with the final steps. The cost of mixing and mastering along with packaging and duplication is more than we can handle on our own.
So what can you do?
• Pre-order our album by making a $10 pledge right here on Kickstarter. You'll be the first to receive the album when we finish it later this year. You were going to buy one anyway, right?
• Pledge more and get your share of the other awesome incentives we have to offer.
• Tell your friends! Direct them here to our Kickstarter page, find us on Facebook and Myspace and visit waxfingers.com
We're really excited about this album. In a constant effort to develop our technique and evolve sonically, it is our hope that the end result is innovative music. You be the judge. Thanks for your support, we really do appreciate it.
We'd like to give a special thanks to John Waller of Uncage the Soul Productions for donating his time and talents to make that awesome video above. Also, we'd like to thank Aidan Palmer, our child star, for making a far more convincing pitch than any of us could have.
