Kickstarter

The records are in! And they look really great, I must say. We'll be shipping them this weekend. Thanks for your patience, and we hope you enjoy the record as much as we enjoyed waiting for it. More than that, actually. Much more.

Hello lovely supporters,

For those of you who don't follow us on Twitter (@ruralalberta), here's the latest update on the Kickstarter project. Apologies for the radio silence over here.

I am embarrassed that I'm posting yet another update on this project that doesn't include the phrase "The records are being shipped TODAY!!!"...but, here we are. We're in a bit of a holding pattern waiting for our vinyl to come to us after being pressed. We are expecting them soon, and we really, really hope to get all these packages shipped ASAP. Apologies for this incredibly long and frustrating delay. I'm as annoyed as you are, maybe even more so, for real. Please forgive us, and believe me when I say that the band put a LOT of time and energy into trying to make this package as beautiful (visually and sonically) as we could, and we're very happy with the final product and are excited for you to receive it. We hope you like it, and we think it won't be too much longer. The second it ships, I'll be here to let you know.

Hey everyone,

Greetings from Portland, Oregon! Okay, so we're almost finally, finally home for the year. Being on the road has unfortunately hampered our ability to complete the final details on our 7" in the timely manner we would have hoped for. Please accept our apologies for the delay. That being said, the songs are done and ready to go, so it's just a matter of pressing the lovely vinyl and getting it out to you guys.

T-shirt orders will be taken when we are back in Canada, right before Christmas. We're going to aim to have the record pressed in January, and send it out right after that.

Thank you again for your support and patience- this is a project close to our hearts and we're excited for you all to get it ASAP.

Happy holidays,

The RAA

Hey everybody,

Apologies for the lack of recent updates...we're still in serious 'tour mode'. I am in fact writing this update from the lovely green room at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City!

Anyway, we just wanted to report to you that we have FINISHED RECORDING the two songs for the 7"! Once we get home (next week) we will be mixing the record, and once that's done we'll be sending out sizing requests for those of you who ordered t-shirts. Then we'll press the record, mail it out, and voila! ETA of stuff to your door: December 2009. Thanks again for your support and patience. Talk soon!

Thanks again to everyone who entered our cover art contest...we received many amazing entries, and it wasn't easy to select just one.

Congratulations to our winner, Roxanne Ignatius! Her winning entry will be the official cover art for our Kickstarter 7".

A note: we've received messages from people who want to order a copy of the 7" but were too late for the Kickstarter deadline. We're working on a way to make them available to you- our project called for a run of 300 to be pressed, so we should have some extra. We might make them available on our website. We'll keep you posted!

Cheers,

The RAA
