About this project
One snowy night in February of 2010, we released our album "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" to the internet, free of charge and since then, it’s gotten over 4,400 more downloads than we thought it would. Almost a year to the date later, we thought it was time to give the album a proper release - in the most awkward, fun, waxy and fantastic way possible. Money raised from this project will be used to press the vinyl records as well as other costs associated with the bundles
Below (and to the right) are the bundles we are offering. We thought long and hard about these because we want you to have just as much fun as we’re having. When you find the numbered bundle of your liking, find it on the right column and back that baby! All backers of this project will be thanked and liner-noted in the artwork. In addition, all events will be filmed for a movie we're making. If you do not wish to be filmed, we will motion trace someone else's face on top of yours and change your voice. That's easy to do, right?
Please note that backers are responsible for transportation on any bundle that includes boxing us, bowling with us, recording with us, etc. Sorry, but we don't have enough money to fly anyone into Collingswood.

From the Haddons, the Hills and the Heights of suburban New Jersey, comes It’s a King Thing. A band for boys and girls, late bloomers, nose pickers, pussies and procrastinators. Their songs can beat up your band’s songs.
In February of 2010, It's a King Thing released their album Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo for free via the internet. The album verse chorus verses its way into a 12 song 36 minute concoction of "I can't believe my mom just caught me masturbating" and winsome anti-folk vignettes.
In February of 2011 the band started a project to raise funds to have the album pressed on vinyl.
