Update #6: It's official, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Posted on June 20, 2010

Thank you everyone or your generous donations. We made our goal!!! Completely thanks to all of you who have believed and supported us for so long now.

We have been hiding away in our tiny rehearsal space writing, writing and rewriting and now have some songs that we feel very passionate about.

With your support we have been able to concentrate and focus on the creativity of the music which has helped tremendously with the writing process.

So now we have a very solid set of ideas to take up to Atalanta and begin recording.

Again, Thank you all so very much from the bottom of our hearts. words alone cannot express enough our gratitude so instead, we'll put it into song...

Love,
Luis, Duke, Paul, James

Update #5: We Made It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on June 14, 2010

Words cannot express how we feel at this very moment. We would like to personally thank every last one of you for believing in our music, and us as individuals, enough to donate your hard earned money to turn our dream into a reality. There are still 5 days left until our deadline, and every extra dollar over our goal is going towards recording extra songs, so if you planned on donating there is still time.

We will send out an update regarding your rewards for donations over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you all so very very very very much from the bottom of our hearts. We love you and we are overwhelmed by your generosity and love.

Love from,

Duke, Luis, Paul, James

Update #4: You Are All My Heroes

Posted on June 1, 2010

We are 18 days away, and still need about $7000, and we have no intentions of slowing down yet! To all the people who have already supported us, YOU are our lifeline. Without you, this band would be no more....

We are lucky to be able to try and live our dreams...we have the most amazing fans, and I truly feel lucky everyday, to get to play music....and I don't want it to end...

With this $12,000 we will be able to go into the studio, with an amazing producer, and put out hopefully our best album to date....but we still need help.

Now is the time to motivate everyone we know to help spread the word about PJA, and the money we are trying to raise. No donation is too small..Please tell your friends, neighbors, grocery man, mail man (or woman!) and help us fund this record.

We are forever indebted to you for your kindness and loyalty,

Love

PJA

Update #3: 24 days and couting...

Posted on May 26, 2010

24 days and counting... We only have to raise another $8000!!! So far only 40 people have donated and we are at $4000! That is simply amazing. We still need our fans to help us raise the rest, so please stop by our kickstarter page below and help us get into the studio:) No donation is too small:)

A huge thank you to all that have donated so far. You don't go unnoticed:) We love your passion and faith in our music!

Update #2: PJA Album update...

Posted on May 4, 2010

PJA Album update…

Well here we are in week 3 of raising funds for the new album and we are doing pretty well:) At the time of this post, we are at 24% of our goal, and only 23 people have donated! We know times are tough out there, but we also know we have the best fans in the world! Please don’t feel like you have to donate a million dollars to be a part of this…..unless you want to:)

Our donation amounts start at $10 and go up from there, so don’t be afraid to put in $10! It gets you the digital download of our NEW album before anyone else. We still have 47 days to go, but time is closing in fast. Remember, if we don’t hit the $12k goal, no one gets charged for their donations, and we don’t get into the studio:( Very sad indeed.

We have been working our butts off, in the little dungeon of a rehearsal space, getting songs ready for this new recording.

Basically what we do is write as much as we can, record ideas on a laptop, then work out as many kinks as we can until we meet with our producer, who will then work with us on making our songs delicious.

Thank you to everyone that has donated thus far, and a thank you in advance to all of you planning to donate soon:) This really means more to us than you will ever know. It’s a chance for us to continue working on our dream of making and recording music, and to give us a reason to get back on the road and share our music and meet all of you:)

Here are a few shots from last night.

Update #1: Off to the races...

Posted on April 26, 2010

What a great start we had for our first week of donations! A very special thank you to all of you that have donated already! It means the world to us to know that we have fans that are as passionate and excited as the band to make this new album:)

We are almost 20% funded after the first week, but still have a long way to go. Remember, no ones donations get charged unless we meet our goal of $12,000, so please keeps sending your friends, family and anyone you think might be interested in helping to fund our project.

Last night we completed another song for the new album, and the excitement is brewing. Here are a couple of new songs titles thus far:

Before Your Lights Go Out
Every Dirty Hand
You Were Only a Song
New song #4 ( Not sure what this one will be called just yet:)

We will be posting a new video update later this week, so keep checking back on our progress. Together we will hit this goal!!!!!!

Love love love,

Duke, Paul, Luis, James
